Great place to stay in Durham, especially convenient for Duke Move in days as it is so easy to get everywhere. Staff are really attentive and friendly. Very clean amenities, rooms and foyer. Gym was well maintained and reasonably well equipped. Washing machines and dryers were convenient and reasonably priced. Cookies each day were a real treat. Breakfast was plentiful with good variety and tasty. Would definitely recommend staying here to people visiting Durham and will stay again if I...
