Like: The location was very close to Duke University. The full refrigerator, dishwasher, stovetop, dishes, etc. was very clean & convenient as I stayed 12 days and didn't always want to dine out. The laundry room was also clean and convenient. The business center had a printer. The fitness center didn't have a lot of equipment, but what it had was in very good condition and the room was very clean. The beds are comfortable. Good water pressure in the shower. The toilets flushed well. Not so great: The property really needs updating. It is clean, but the couches are stained, the carpet in the hallways is old/stained, the air conditioning doesn't always work, the drawers don't close,etc. I had to change rooms a couple of times when issues with the A/C arose. Management was very quick to respond and gave me a credit for one night because of my trouble.

It smelled musky and like urine in our room and much of the facility just smelled like cleaning supplies. The wifi wasn’t great in the room. The location is decently close to Duke, but the immediate area is at a street intersection right by a gas station. There was plenty of parking for pay by mobile 15$.

This hotel was clean and well kept. The breakfast was very good. What I did not like is that I requested twice for my room to be clean while I was away on business and it did not happen. Poor customer service with regard to this issue but otherwise the sparse interaction I had with management was fine. I never did receive a follow up call as promised. Also beware if the train that rolls through the town of Durham in the middle of the night. it will awaken you with the blaring horn. Also, there is a $15 per night charge for parking.

The area is very quiet and relaxing, and offers excellent strolls and some good dining areas. Bars and restaurants are within walking distance and a bus will take you to Duke's West Campus. Facilities are fine, although the rooms have a bit of humidity. Staff is helpful.

The room was clean and comfortable and the gym was good. However, I gave the hotel 3 stars because the shower lets out so much water that it is actually wasting water. There's no door for the shower, so when you bathe, the water streams out of the shower and onto the bathroom floor. So much water streams out that I had to place the bathmat 12 inches away from the shower entrance so that it wouldn't get wet.

Although, it wasn't the best check-in experience, I would still recommend and stay.

After confirming my stay with the Residence Inn Durham by checking in online, then email exchange just hours before my arrival stating “I am on my way and would be there in 2hrs”- then the hotel acknowledging that check in… I got to the front desk at 6:10pm to find out I no longer had a room and was being re-booked at a different, lesser quality hotel 10 mins away. (After driving 9hrs to get there). Utterly ridiculous and I’ll never book a room with them again.

The staff was friendly, helpful and competent, the facility and rooms were very clean. They have coffee and water available 24/7 in the lobby. The breakfast was substantial and varied for those with different preferences. It’s very convenient to Duke — esp. East campus — and you can walk to restaurants nearby or drive just a few minutes to even more. Great option for Duke parents and visitors.
