We had a wonderful two night stay in February. The hotel and grounds are lovely. Chose the hotel for its proximity to Duke. You're paying for that and no doubt the golf course. Loved the fact that we could walk to the campus. The rooms were a nice size (including the bath) and very well decorated. The beds were very... more

I was expecting something much more lush after reading these glowing reviews. The rooms were nothing special, comparable to any mid-lux chain, and my bathroom had not been thoroughly cleaned before I checked in. The staff was pleasant enough, but they certainly did not go out of their way as the hotel's website suggests. I felt that the decor was... more

Stayed here after my wedding for two nights. Had a beautiful golf course suite that was luxuriously accommodated and very comfortable. Service was excellent. Restaurants in the hotel are top notch. Golf course and range are also first class. Absolutely a must stay for any one who is in the Raleigh/Durham area and wants to be pampered. more

Setting: Beautifully landscaped grounds adjacent to Duke University and golf course. Manicured gardens, idyllic golf course, stately trees. This hotel is as beautiful as the neighboring campus. Accommodations: Large well appointed room with a view of the golf course. Furnishings were of good quality, with prints in keeping with ambiance of hotel. The room was clean, the linens luxurious, and... more

The Washington Duke is a sprawling golf and convention hotel located adjacent to the duke University campus in Durham. In many ways, this is typical of a vanishing breed of hotel: a high end resort-hotel with lovely golf-course views to complement a wood-and-wainscot ambience throughout the hotel. The hotel is located alongside Duke, but can be difficult to find without... more

Stayed here for one night while visiting Duke. The property was absolutely beautiful -- gorgeous flowers and landscaping. Staff very helpful and accommodating. I had developed a reaction to a bug bite and asked for a suggestion on where to have it looked at. They sent me to the Duke Urgent Care Center (gave me directions) and what I thought... more

We traveled to Durham for the Duke Basketball Camp. We have three boys who attended the camp by day and stayed with us a night. The Washington Duke Inn was beautiful,quaint,clean and friendly. If you like to golf this would also be the place to stay in Durham. The food was very good, of course like every other hotel restaraunt... more

We enjoyed every moment of our stay at the Washington Duke Inn. The common places were beautiful, warm and inviting. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The grounds (the trail, golf course, pool, sun deck...) were all amazing. Durham itself does not have all that much to offer, but this hotel might bring us back for more enjoyment. I give... more

Not worthy of its stars! We're amazed at the glowing reviews we read about this hotel. Here's a list of what we found wanting: Very noisey plumbing (we were told by staff it needs replacing), water turned completely off for long periods during the days ( staff left a message on our phone telling us it would be back on... more
