Comfort Inn & Suites Durham near Duke University

10/10 Excellent

"This was a very good value for money stay. The hotel was clean, staff were friendly and helpful, the bed was very comfortable and the room was spacious. Breakfast was included and was a standard breakfast buffet. We would happily stay here again if visiting Durham."

Gladly, Fernando, hotel front desk representative, was able to quickly make a new reservation and get me and my wife a room. Thanks Fernando (Millenium Hotel) for the great customer service."

Hilton Garden Inn Durham/University Medical Center

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent option for a hotel close to Duke Medical Center. Perfect for a short stay if traveling through Raleigh/Durham, visiting the area for work, or going to Duke Medical Hospital for any reason. About 5 minutes away from Duke Medical Center. Serves breakfast and has a lounge. Excellent dining nearby, like Parizade and JuJu -- look them up, you will not be disappointed. Updated and recently designed rooms. Fresh, consistent, always a reliable option for any discerning traveler. It's not the Ritz, but it's certainly not a low-end option. I'd choose this for a family, when traveling alone, or when traveling with a small pet. Safe. Quiet. Convenient. Clean. Nice."
