Good place to stay ...convenient to walk to Duke

The check in was super nice. The air conditioner was making a lot of noise - a racket. We had to complain multiple times. But they did respond 🙄 after the third vociferous complaint and replaced compressor. Friendly maintainence team , Barry the maintainence executive brought in a lot of smiles with his attitude.

Wasteful shower design

The room was clean and comfortable and the gym was good. However, I gave the hotel 3 stars because the shower lets out so much water that it is actually wasting water. There's no door for the shower, so when you bathe, the water streams out of the shower and onto the bathroom floor. So much water streams out that I had to place the bathmat 12 inches away from the shower entrance so that it wouldn't get wet.
