    The front desk people were friendly. However the room had large stains on the carpet. The elevators were also dirty and looked unkept. However, the continental breakfast was good.

    I didn’t have a lot of time, and thought the included breakfast was decent enough for my road trip. The room was very clean and quiet. I got a good nights sleep. I was tired after a long day of driving. Check-in went really fast — no problems.

    We had a wonderful experience for our stay. Staff were friendly and efficient, the room was cool, clean, and comfortable, and not only was there a large choice of breakfast, but everything tasted great too. My kids loved that they got to make their waffles fresh! The only thing slightly negative was the entrance only to the premises. The hotel is located right next to the interstate and the turn into the parking lot is very close to the traffic lights. If you're not in the correct lane, there is very little time to adjust and it's on a one way street.

    Don’t clean up the rooms during your stay, don’t freshen up the room either. If you happen to need an extra towel you have to go to the lobby to try to get one. Breakfast ran out before ten am. It felt like a hostal in a third world country. Definitely overpriced for the service provided.

    This establishment is right off the highway exit. This makes it very convenient for road travellers. It is a very clean hotel. The cleaners do a fantastic job, and they are very friendly and deserve respect! The ease of checking in was fantastic. The set up of the hotel was nice, especially for graduation. Front desk staff was nice and helpful. There is also ample parking.

    I had a horrible experience. The bathroom ceiling had peeling paint. The carpet in the room had old food, the food was dried up meaning it was there for a long time (I never brought any food into the hotel). Also, I have pictures . The only reason I gave two stars was because of the breakfast, you can tell the breakfast ladies love their jobs. If not for the breakfast, I will give a negative star if possible. The cleaners are not doing a good job at all. No way I’m staying in a hotel like that again.

  • Marie May 2026 · via hotels.com
    3/5

    It’s a place to stay when others are way over priced or unavailable. We paid over $350 a night during Duke graduation weekend, and it’s definitely not a $350 a night hotel….maybe $120. But it’s clean.

    The stay was easy. However, when I got to my room I noticed there was trashed still left in the trash can, there was strains of hair in the sink, and the shower wasn't clean. I was there on a business meeting and had multiple meetings, so I didn't have time to speak with anyone. When I got ready to check-out, I informed the front desk of the situation and she wasn't very warming. Sorry just my intake and opinion.

    The hotel was clean, rooms were comfortable, staff was exceptional. However, some of the furniture was a bit beaten up, and the guests were awakened with the fire alarm in the middle of the night. The alarm was unavoidable, but the front desk manager allowed an extended late checkout due to the inconvenience. It was a little noisy due to where my room was located, but overall, it was a comfortable stay. I definitely would stay at this property again.

    Fire alarm went off late at night, none of the workers acknowledged it or explained what was going on after the fact. The lady working that night was rude and barely acknowledged me when I asked what caused it to go off. Room was decent and clean but had a very old smell to it. Won’t be back.

    This stay was absolutely HORRIFIC. Do not stay here unless you want your car vandalized. 17 cars including my own were vandalized during my 1 night stay. The front desk said nothing at all when turning my room key in. I had no idea this happened until I got to my car. When going back in to tell the front desk they acted like it was not a big deal. Offered no tape or trash bags or anything to secure the window so I could make my 5 hour drive home in 30 degree weather. They stated that whatever happens in the parking lot is not their problem.

    The hotel's close proximity to Duke Hospital was a definite plus for us. Additionally, the hotel's close proximity to I-85 and other Durham freeways made it easy to quickly be at any of many restaurants, grocery stores and shopping malls.

    Covers were dirty, not just stains but some crusty white stuff ( I don’t want to know what that was) front desk attendant was rude and senile, we didn’t seem to know how to answer any of my questions. Outdated rooms with furniture that looks like it’s from your great grandmothers basement. I wouldn’t expect too much but for very high prices this was inexcusable. No one supervised the front area so anyone at anytime can walk in and just go up the elevator or through the hotel. Plus if you’re looking for staff, good luck and the front desk bell doesn’t work because it’s strewed down so you cannot tap it. The bananas for breakfast were brown and all bruised and that was the only option and it’s paired with box eggs and greasy sausage and that’s your only option outside of cereal and making a waffle. Parking is limited and the location is directly off of the highway so it’s hard to exit the hotel onto the main road. People were in the hallway talking very loud at night and during the morning. I wish the staff would ensure visitors weren’t sitting around in the hallway as a hangout spot.

    First impression with the front desk staff, greeting was terrible, no hi, no how are you. Very flat face. Noticed the bad odor as soon as we entered the hallways. Odor was worse once entering the room. About 30 mins of being in the room, I noticed a roach crawling from the bathroom. We immediately packed up, informed the front desk. We shook all of our things before entering our vehicle. I’m still waiting for a refund.

    We left after one night and fortunately I got a refund for a nonrefundable 2nd night. The walls are paper thin- we could hear the next door people talking as if they were in our room at midnight. We called 3x to the front desk to ask them to be quiet. Then, at 1230am, a van full of people pulled into the parking lot and were making a ton of noise that you could hear in our room. The van wasn't there the next morning so no idea who they were. This hotel is a 1star. I will never stay in a Comfort Suites again. My first time staying in one in TX was similar.

    Our room seemed fine at first, minus a few oversights with cleanliness (grease stains from someone else's head on the headboard being one example.) Again, whatever, I cleaned it up myself. We try to sleep that evening and discover that the actual blackout curtain isn't even designed to cover the window, and the flood lights from the pool are shining into the room all night. There are two flimsy white curtains that don't do much. ..Now I'm getting irritated. Into the night, we wake up with water covering our skin. The A/C, upon inspection, has water in it and is blowing so much humidity into the room that ALL our clothes are now damp, the floor is damp, and I had to turn it off. It's 3am and I don't have the energy to deal with it and I have a doctor's appointment in the morning. Came back that evening and took a shower to discover a raw sewage smell coming from the shower drain. We ended up leaving a day early because we couldn't tolerate it. I contacted the property manager through Expedia and asked for a refund for the night we didn't stay due to intolerable conditions, and was refused that simple, reasonable request. In summary: wouldn't recommend staying here if you like sleeping and not getting sick.

    However, there are some downsides: the area around the pool was dirty, and the sound insulation is extremely poor. On one side, we had noisy neighbors who kept making noise, and on the other side, we could literally hear someone jumping. And the worst part: who came up with the idea of putting coffee, tea, and a kettle in the bathroom?! Seriously? Right under the hairdryer, and to top it all off — a bottle of body lotion placed right above it. LOL. All in all, the hotel isn’t bad — but some things definitely need improvement.
