Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The rooms are very nice, they were clean and the bed was comfy. However it was very noisy all night, with loud vehicles and loud music playing. There were also lots of people having conversations out in the parking lot and yelling. I was not able to finally fall asleep until almost 2:00 a.m. they're also appears to be a homeless area right behind the hotel near where you walk your dogs. And it does say no smoking within 50 ft of the hotel but you still see and smell people smoking. The staff was nice except in the morning my key did not work when I was walking my dogs and when I went to the front office there was nobody there. There's multiple food options nearby you can actually walk to mcdonald's, Texas Roadhouse, and IHOP, including some gas stations.

Good news: The staff was friendly. The room was fine — not great, not bad, but fine. The hotel is a very short drive from I-85. Traveling from this hotel to Duke University, Durham’s Ninth Street neighborhood, downtown Durham and Chapel Hill is relatively simple if there is no traffic. (That’s a big if during rush hour.) Bad news: People were hanging out in the parking lot and on the outdoor staircases at nighttime. This may make travelers with young children or single travelers uncomfortable. In a similar vein, during a pair of early-morning walks, I noticed a number of unhoused people in the nearby area. Bottom line: I would probably not stay at this property again.
