This property was clean, staff was great, parking was great and safe. But, the bed was a platform bed and the matress was hard and very uncomfortable. My husband and I both got about 2 hrs of sleep the whole night. We love to convince to the VA medical center, however the bed might have us looking fo another alternative our next visit.

Beds and bedding needs updated. Extremely hard, lumpy mattresses. Something was going on with the septic. Bathroom sink water smelled extremely bad, like an overflowed septic tank. Would not, could not use the sink water due to the extreme odor of poop.

We had to travel to Durham for a procedure at Duke Regional. The location was perfect for where we needed to be. We were able to leave the hotel early morning to make it to the appointment. The noise was a little excessive but we made it work. There was someone in the hall or in a nearby room that was making load noises during the middle of the night.

Jenelle greeted and checked me in. Then she gave true Southern hospitality by assisting my mom out of the car, into her wheelchair and pushed her to our room while I handled bags. My Mama had been anxious about the surgery and was very tired after our hour long drive to Durham. Jenelle's kindness made her feel welcomed and helped calm her nerves. Her positive, happy attention was the highlight of our stay! Other staff we encountered were also courteous and helpful. The room itself was comfortable but could use the kind of cleaning only an update can effect. We were very grateful to have the room for the night.

The room was clean and fresh. The restaurant in the building was a good bonus, with friendly staff. We paid when we arrived, and they charged us again when we left. The person at the desk was not familiar with the company's billing system, which was inconvenient for us. He tried to charge our card three times. He needs more training.

We're not told in advance but there was hardly any water pressure at all in the room it was horrible. You couldn't even take a shower it just trickled out. And they were aware of it. But they did not tell us. I take a shower every morning that morning I did not I had to use a washcloth and let the water trickle out of the sink so I could wash my face and armpits.

The Lodge staffing is superb. Very friendly. Very helpful. On this visit a dog started barking in the next room for quite a while around dinner time. One call to the front desk and the staff took care of it, so high praise for the staff! The room was very clean and comfortable. The bathroom was very clean and sanitized, but the sink was very slow to drain. Unfortunately the walls between the rooms seem to be paper thin and you are able to hear pretty much everything going on in the next room and hallways. Guests in the hallway at 5am would do well to think about the other guests who may still be trying to sleep. although the courtesy shuttle to the Duke University Medical Complex is very helpful. Overall the accommodations are adequate, but the thin walls will make me hesitate to book again unfortunately,

I reported this problem when I checked in, but it was never fixed. I bought 2 hard-boiled eggs in the cafe. As soon as I stuck a fork in the egg it crumbled and water squirted out. Thankfully, the cashier gave me a refund for the eggs. On a brighter note, the bed was very comfortable.

Check in was smooth and fast. Hotel and room was very clean. Mattress was really firm (not my preference but would be okay for those who like a firm one). What wasn’t so great? We were in room 614 (right across the stairwell at the end of the hall). That stairwell door opened and slammed off and on all night long and early the next morning. We decided to just get up and leave. Unfortunately, we would not stay again unless we had a room away from the stairwell doors. We could deal with the train, helicopters, even others talking outside the door but the door slamming was just too much.

Really, the thing that made this trip decent for me as I was sick and received not great news at Duke so we stayed the night on Friday night (3/7/2025) to Saturday (3/8) and the staff that evening was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING ❤️ I have stayed in a lot of hotels and hospitals the past two years and I have been treated not so great at many of them, but here, you hired amazing staff and I don’t ever write reviews ever. I just wanted to acknowledge that they made by weekend better by being kind and empathetic and treating me and my mother like humans. Amazing place and from now on when I go to Duke this will be my go to place to stay for sure!!! Thank you for making my day a little brighter ❤️

We arrived to find out there was no record of our reservation even though I showed them the reservation and reservation number. They were “sold out”, hum!!!! I guess either they could get a higher rate than they booked us at 3 weeks prior to arrival or Hotels.com didn’t do their job. Regardless, we didn’t have a room and no suggestions were offered. What’s the point of a reservation????

On the other hand, the staff was great! Terrance was especially helpful. He was polite, pleasant, and professional. I spoke with the manager and she was very receptive to my concerns regarding the water situation as well as my compliments to the staff.

Location relative to Duke hospital was fantastic, room was great and staff were very nice and professional. In-house food availability is limited but there are decent nearby dining options. It’s perfect if your destination is Duke hospital or eye center.

Staff was very helpful. Good walking distance from Duke University football, basketball. Room was clean and comfortable. Only complaint is poor lighting in the rooms. There were only two lamps in our rooms and no overhead lights in the entry or the room. Bedside lighting didn’t work in either room. Bathrooms were well lit.

Room was recently nicely renovated, although there were a number of punch list items such as lights not working and missing closet barn door. The area around the hotel is only parking lots and hospitals.

Very nice personnel that are very helpful. The room was clean. I like that they are environmentally conscious not having towels cleaned daily. We can help the environment by reusing our towels. We get a lot of choices on the Tv.
