We were there for a medical appt at Duke. The motel was close enough without a lot of traffic. The room was very clean. The staff was friendly, helpful and courteous. The breakfast would rival any restaurant meal. Will definitely stay again.

Anne

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Clean & attractive. My only area of concern is that the hotel, which I paid in full before hand, charges you an additional $75 in case you incur charges at the hotel. I did not, as I paid for my dinner separately, and the $75 was supposed to be returned by the end of the day when I checked out, which was yesterday, but I have not been credited the $75 so far. That would definitely discourage me from staying in a property run by this organization again.
