Easy on-off from I-40. Park-like setting. Just a short ride from great eating. Intimately close to Duke University and its lovely walking forest. This is a family owned motel, and the family went out of their way to make our stop restful and satisfying. Call them direct and talk to them about your needs. Ours were unusual and involved vehicle... more

We stayed for two nights for my visit to the Duke Clinics. Our room was just right--clean, pretty, very comfortable. Beds were yummy--so comfortable I slept like a baby. Staff and owners very friendly and helpful, particularly with driving directions and restaurant suggestions. Owner gave true above-and-beyond-the-call assistance when we accidentally left a good tweed jacket behind. She went to... more

Don't let the older facade of this motel fool you. The rooms have been recently remodeled with appointments equal to much higher dollar hotels. Yes, the rooms are small and the bathroom small too (no less than many high end hotels), but the bed and furniture were every bit as nice as rooms costing more than twice as much. On... more

I thought this hotel looked pretty nice for the money and I had my sister in law drive by and she said it looked pretty nice. But our first impression was that the room is small and the bathroom is even smaller. We had a king size bed the was comfortable even for someone who doesn't like regular spring mattresses.... more

The door had a huge crack all the way around the frame, if it had rained, the floor would have been soaked due to the huge gap at the bottom of the door.The windows were screwed to the frame so you could not open them. The bed was horribly uncomfortable. The sheets on the bed would not stay on the... more

My wife and I were a little skeptical because you never know what you are getting with a 2-star-ish motel. We did want a place that was dog friendly, so this Best Western it ended up being. The charge for our dog was an additional $10, by the way. It wasn't the nicest room, but for the price is was... more

This is about the 3rd time I have stayed at this motel. It's just your basic motel but it's clean, has some nice homey touches, and the lady who's there at night (Holly) made me feel like a guest, not just a customer. I got the feeling she was looking out for me, a woman traveling alone, particuarly; she put... more
