I journeyed to Durham for a family event. The Washington Duke provided us with a 5th floor accommodation that overlooked the parking area. We were not disrupted by any noise however and the amazing room darkening draperies allowed us to sleep on comfortably. We used the workout room and found it stuffed with plenty of equipment; we liked the pool... More

My husband had a doctor's appointment up in Durham, and we stayed at the Washington Duke. This gem was a complete surprise. I would put it up with the Waldorf-Astoria, in terms of elegance, and our room was much nicer. Gorgeous grounds, quiet rooms and great dining options make this a great hotel. Need a getaway with the guys? The... More

I lived in a fantasy during my too-short stay at the "Wa-Duke" as the locals and well-traveled prefer to call it. I truly embraced my inner WASP and could walk free from judgement with my Ralph Lauren Black Label Mitered V-Neck Cable Cashmere sweater tied around my shoulders. In all honesty, I stayed here for my friend's wedding in August... More

The location is not convenient to the city. The rooms are dated. the golf course is nice. The only reason you would stay here is for the golf course or going to a Duke event. More

I decided to stay here for a stay at the Duke DFC. The last time I was at Duke I stayed at the Hilton which was ok but not great. A friend stayed here and raved about it so I decided to spend the extra dough. The positives: Great service, especially from the bellman/concierge desk. They are really friendly and... More

We have been coming to Washington Duke Inn for years. We came over Holiday break to see a Duke game. Got the family suite which is really great because it has a King bed and then a hallway to bunkbeds. It has a Keurig coffee machine. There is a TV infront of the King bed and there is a DVD... More

The Washington Duke is a wonderful property that has been around for a long time. The staff were very helpful and the running trail (3 miles) is awesome. The room was spacious and clean. The bathroom could have had more space around the sink for my shaving kit, etc., however. More

The hotel is owned by Duke University and is right off campus. Service and amenities were all great, but the prices for rooms and onsite restaurants are all dramatically higher than all other nearby hotels and restaurants we saw of similar quality. The hotel decor definitely felt dated -- it felt like the last remodel was done in the early... More

We stay here twice a year when attending a board meeting at Duke University. The staff is very attentive . Ask for a room overlooking the golf course. There is a walking trail that goes around the property(about 3 miles ) that is very nice and safe. The rooms are very comfortable and well appointed. More

This hotel is within walking distance of Duke and is especially close to the athletic facilities. The staff is professional though not friendly. It's a hush-hush kind of place with a golf course. Clubs are available for use on the driving range. Expensive but nice. More
