Cleanliness was missing

Cleanliness was subpar. Lots of unknown stains on furniture. Balcony was littered with crumbs. Top sheet of bed had little black bugs.

Great place, don’t think twice

Great stay coming from NY as a halfway point. There was no hot water and no comps for it. Slightly disappointed as a hot shower would be nice! The room was great and so comfy. Best bed we have had in a while.

My recent stay at Courtyard Durham-Duke was delightful, exceeding all my expectations from start to finish. I can highly recommend this hotel! From the moment I arrived, the front desk agent (Sherrika Laws) was incredibly welcoming and attentive. She checked us in with a pleasant smile and demeanor, which immediately made us feel at home. Sherreka Laws was incredibly helpful with local recommendations for restaurants." My room was [describe the room positively, e.g., "spotlessly clean, spacious. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep, and all the amenities, such as a restaurant, Starbucks coffee, and Wi Fi were top-notch. If you're planning a trip to Duke University and looking for a hotel that combines comfort and outstanding hospitality, Courtyard Durham-near Duke is the perfect choice. I'm already looking forward to my next visit for Duke home games!

Overnight Only

The hotel was ok, it was is a bit dated, with worn and soiled carpet throughout and very low sitting toilets in the room. I would not want to stay for more than an overnight stay.
