clean room but the overall feel of the property was dated and there was a slight "damp" smell. Room felt too sterile and not relaxing.

Breakfast was very good, service was good. Everyone that came to breakfast was confused about how it worked and had to get an explanation from the server. Not complaining but maybe it is something you could look at making more clear.

Staff very friendly. Relaxing stay. Only issues are extreme amount of large cockroaches outside and throughout the parking lot. The bed is extremely uncomfortable and hard. Location next to Duke Medical is the largest plus.

The location next to The Duke Medical center was great . The free on site parking with extended use period allowed me to leave my car at the Lodge for the duration of my visit to the Hospital. It was a very rainy day and the free shuttle to the hospital was quick and efficient in a clean vehicle and very nice driver. The breakfast cooked to order was great.
