Stayed here 3 nights during our college tours in the area. Loved the size of the hotel room. Easy parking in the garage right next door to the hotel. Great gym and pool to cool off. Lobby bar and pool table was a nice spot to hang out at night and relax. Loved the location too!

We were in town for a Durham Bulls game -- excellent location!!!! We were able to wait in our room for the rain to pass :) Ate dinner across the street - excited for the new milkshake restaurant to open for our next visit. Staff exceedingly friendly and helpful. Hotel is busy but they were super calm and patient.
