The hotel is ok for 1 night... the pool was a disaster with no towels and everything on the floor, it was so dirty but when we complained to the front desk, we were told that this will be only fixed tomorrow. Rooms are outdated but spacious and enough for one night.

We were there for a medical appt at Duke. The motel was close enough without a lot of traffic. The room was very clean. The staff was friendly, helpful and courteous. The breakfast would rival any restaurant meal. Will definitely stay again.
