Staff very friendly. Relaxing stay. Only issues are extreme amount of large cockroaches outside and throughout the parking lot. The bed is extremely uncomfortable and hard. Location next to Duke Medical is the largest plus.

The location next to The Duke Medical center was great . The free on site parking with extended use period allowed me to leave my car at the Lodge for the duration of my visit to the Hospital. It was a very rainy day and the free shuttle to the hospital was quick and efficient in a clean vehicle and very nice driver. The breakfast cooked to order was great.
