"Other guests drank beer, smoked, and left trash all over, including in the parking lot. We weren't able to extend our stay even though we had evacuated due to Hurricane Florence and couldn't return home. We were disappointed that the hotel didn't do more to assist us in an emergency.2018-09-18"

But the employees were great; they took care of all our complaints and gave us a discount. Pay a little extra to stay somewhere else.2016-11-12"
"Entire motel was smoke-free, and I wanted a smoking room. Carpet smelled bad and had burn holes. There was a gaping hole in the bathroom ceiling. I was disappointed.2015-01-23"
"A nice, clean, modern hotel in downtown Durham. Next door to DPAC, and across the street from the baseball stadium. Lots of bars and restaurants in the area. Unfortunately, most of the hotel amenities and services weren't available due to Covid. Under normal circumstances, I imagine this would be a fun and lively hotel.2021-02-10"

"Great location between Duke University's East Campus and downtown. Interesting building; the hotel was originally the 1st hospital in Durham. The room was nice and well-equipped, and the staff was super friendly. Well-stocked market. Some amenities were closed because of Covid.2021-02-10"

"The hotel room was clean and well-maintained, and the beds were comfortable. It took a long time for the water to get hot. I liked the modern key system, large TV, excellent lighting, and high-quality towels. The coffee maker didn't work well and wasn't near an outlet. Not enough outlets to charge my devices and make coffee at the same time. Great front desk clerks and shuttle drivers. 2019-06-12"

"Convenient to the Research Triangle. Inexpensive hotel. Interior was rather run-down, and the room hadn't been cleaned. We were moved to another room; it was clean, but again, looked rather worn. I'll pay more and stay elsewhere next time.2015-02-16"
"The motel was OK for one night. No TV remote control, but one was brought up when I called about it. The floor needed sweeping. The room was quiet and dark for sleeping, the temperature was good, and the bed was comfortable. The front desk clerk was polite and helpful.2021-02-24"
"The motel was convenient to a shopping area. The parking lot was small and somewhat cramped.2019-11-06"
"The motel was a little sketchy and needed a good cleaning all the way around. There were cigarette butts all over the stairs and walkways. The beds were clean and comfortable, but that was about the only positive. The staff was friendly. Fine for a place to crash, but don't expect much.2016-03-23"
"This motel was not what I was expecting. The room and decor were old and needed upgrading. The entire room smelled like it had years of built-up cigarette smoke. The carpet looked and smelled filthy, and the bed comforter looked old and dirty. I wouldn't even use the kitchen or microwave. The shower made a loud noise, and the water pressure was sporadic. The toilet ran all night, and one of the bedside lamps made a loud humming noise when it was on. The staff was helpful and friendly, and the location was convenient to my events. Don't recommend staying here.2015-11-03"
"I had an awesome stay. The room was great, and the staff was super. I give this hotel a 10.2020-10-08"

"This was the worst hotel I've ever stayed in. We saw 3 roaches, and the bathroom was dirty. There was water all over the lobby floor from kids running out of the pool. The lobby restroom was filthy, and the vending machine didn't work. The staff was rude. Don't stay here.2022-08-15"
"The motel staff seemed to be stressed. The room was clean, but I saw a number of insects. The beds weren't made, and the towels weren't replaced. Don't stay here.2020-03-06"
"This motel was a classic example of getting what you pay for. It needed an overhaul, and the bedding needed Lysol. The shower wall shell had a 2-foot crack, and the shower curtain needed to be replaced. The front desk clerk wasn't pleasant and didn't seem to care. Pay more money and stay somewhere else.2019-10-24"
"OK motel for the price. Pets were allowed, but my allergies didn't act up. The room was clean but dated, and the fridge wasn't cold enough to safely store food. People smoked outside the rooms, so smoke seeped into my room. Cigarette butts littered the walkways, and there were bags of dirty linens in the main walkway. I wouldn't stay here again.2019-06-20"
"I had an enjoyable stay, and the motel staff was nice and helpful.2018-06-10"

"We had a pleasant 8-day stay. The hotel was quiet even though it was close to I-40 and a railroad track. The room was clean, and we got fresh towels every day. Free, fast WiFi. The front desk clerks were friendly and helpful. The continental breakfast was better than we expected.2020-02-22"

Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
