“Awful Motel and would NEVER Stay there again”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 July 2011
1
person found this review helpful

My daughter and I visited Durham seeking medical care from a doctor at Duke. I told the guy that I wanted to rent a room at the weekly rate. He rung up the charge as per day rather than weekly. I corrected him. I told him that I wanted a queen non-smoking downstairs. He said that they didn't have any and as I turned to leave he found one. I was told the weekly rate covered 5 days and since it was my first time staying in such a hotel I said okay. I arrived for my stay at 11p, I was to receive housekeeping once during my stay. I left the room at 9A and when I returned the room had been cleaned. I noticed that it was cold in the room and when the guy came to fix the heat, I found out the manager had had him to set the max lower, that was corrected. Another problem occurred that the office couldn't fix and I had to move to another room, upstairs and around back. I couldn't get an internet connection in the room and despite several calls to the office I was unable to get a connection in that room during the rest of my stay. NEVER STAY IN THIS HOTEL!!!!!!!!!

Room Tip: One evening came back to room to find police tape and blood on stairs!

“not the safest place”

Since we had to work at Duke University my friend and I decided to stay in this cheap hotel. The room wasn't very big but clean, breakfast was okay, too.
Unfortunately this hotel is located directly at the highway. One night we were almost robbed - the staff didn't do anything.
