Hotels near Sarah P. Duke Gardens

"This feels more like a highway motel. It needs refurbishment urgently. The breakfast is horrible: felt like powdered scrambled eggs - in paper plates. Old carpets. Smell in rooms. And they charge for giving you the room check-in at noon even when they have availability."

"The property had a good layout, parking and a nice looking pool and hot tub. However, the gym inadequate and consisted of a poorly functioning treadmill, one other small piece of equipment and a few hand weights. No mats. The staff was limited, but was polite and accommodating. The only breakfast an available was a $12 per person buffet, no coffee in the lobby and no restaurant otherwise. There was a bar open Saturday night. It appeared that property hadn’t been updated or maintained in years. In our room the carpet was old, one of the 2 sinks had a nonfunctional hot water handle, that fell off in my husband’s hand. The shower curtain rod was bent and coming loose from the wall. One of the electrical outlet covers was loose dangling from the wall. "

"Totally enjoyed our stay. Would definitely stay again and recommend it to everyone!"

"No breakfast menu in room. Microwave would be helpful"

"I booked a king bed. When we arrived got 2 queen beds. I called front desk first told me I didn't, and then put us in the room I booked. After 20 minutes of the air not working went to front desk and they said going to send someone up. After another 15 minutes moved us to another room with 2 queen beds. I will not stay here ever again."

"For a hotel in the process of renovation - very good. Wish new owners luck in finishing the improvement."

"They provide the bare minimum. Don’t clean up the rooms during your stay, don’t freshen up the room either. If you happen to need an extra towel you have to go to the lobby to try to get one. Breakfast ran out before ten am. It felt like a hostal in a third world country. Definitely overpriced for the service provided."

"A very nice, well-appointed, modern room and motel. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The proximity to Duke Hospital and Medical Centers is very convenient. I enjoyed my stay."

"Carpets throughout were stained, sheers in room were torn and room very tired. Clean but in need up updating. Disappointing overall for the price of the room. Hotel is close to Duke and we did find a great place to eat. Try Local 22 Kitchen & Bar. Very good restaurant, reasonably priced nice atmosphere. Would have chosen a different hotel if condition was known ahead of time. "
