My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. While the rooms were nicely furnished and clean, the noise from adjacent rooms was a downside. The service stood out as exceptional, with staff always going the extra mile, though the price seemed a bit high. The location was convenient, especially for accessing medical facilities, but the dining options were a letdown. Overall, a comfortable stay with some room for improvement.

The hotel's location was very nice, especially for accessing the entire triangle region and being close to Duke Medical center. However, I had to leave early for a medical procedure, which was a drawback.

The dining experience was good, but I prefer individual meal service over buffet style. The organic products were a nice touch, but the overall variety could have been better for the price charged.

The hotel had its ups and downs. The service was exceptional with very helpful staff, but the dining experience left much to be desired with limited options. The location was convenient for medical visits at Duke Clinic, but the room quality was disappointing with malfunctioning televisions and overpriced food. The facility offered a decent experience overall, but there were some setbacks in terms of value for money.
