Clean, modern hotel close to Duke University. The bar serves a small but nice variety of food until 10 pm, which was convenient. Only complaint is the lack of insulation in the floors. It sounded like an elephant was getting ready on the floor above me from about 7:00-8:00 am. It was so loud it woke me up and I couldn’t go back to sleep, so I lost an hour of sleep. Otherwise, a very pleasant stay.

Everything was great in the Hotel! Only thing I didnt like was parking. They charge $20 a night and parking is very difficult because spaces are too small even for a compact car.
