JB Duke Hotel

JB Duke Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Adjacent self parking garage is free if you are a guest of the hotel. Was not informed of this and paid the first time I exited, but hotel took information to get reimbursed. Will see! Otherwise clean, spacious, useful fitness room, bathroom amenities provided; no free water bottles, but an empty caraf and glasses are provided in the room & in the hallway is free filtered water dispenser (cold, hot or ambient temps) along with a communal microwave. Convenient to Duke U, Nasher Art Museum, Sarah P Duke Gardens, ninth street and area with great restaurants. Pleasant stay."
