hotel staff were awesome and maintained respect for masks over several complaints from those people that pressured staff and other patrons to discard their masks. silly complaints from small minds. played golf twice. weather was abysmal. several inches of rain and lightning. staff was spot on to warn us of the incoming storm so we could take cover. they comped our replay round. greens crew was out bright and early to restore bunkers to be playable as well as mow/roll all greens and more/clear fairways. course was in excellent condition by 10am the next day. course layout is super, condition is super and 5 tee boxes gives everyone a reasonable choice for challenge or forgiveness.

The inn is in a lovely setting with a 3.1 mile surrounding trail through nearby woods. The hotel itself has the beauty and dignity of a classic inn. But the service was remarkably bad. When we arrived, the desk clerk directed us to the wrong elevator, which meant we couldn't access our room. We had to haul all our luggage downstairs and then to an elevator 100 yds. away. When I told the clerk that she had told us to take the wrong elevator, her curt and dismissive response was "my mistake." The clerk also didn't tell us that there was no room cleaning service unless we specifically requested it. When we returned to the room at 5 PM and asked why no one had cleaned it, it was too late to send a housekeeper. That evening we sat at a table in the bar for 20 mins. without getting service. I finally went to the bar myself to get drinks. When I returned, there was a server at the table, who explained that he had been in the bathroom. For 20 mins.? Overall, then you can enjoy a stately hotel in a beautiful location. But don't expect even the level of service that probably prevails at Motel 6.…

I'm a member at the Duke golf course and I like to take a shower after I play. For some reason they thought it was reasonable to not have hot water in the bathroom under the pro shop during the pandemic. They also did not have towels for the showers but you could go to the front desk and wait a half an hour to get a towel. To take a cold shower. But now they have towels available for showers and still no hot water. Why???

Dear Kent H, We sincerely apologize for the lack of hot water in the men’s locker room. We are investigating the issue and hope to have it resolved as soon as possible. We haven’t had any recent issues, so we hope the problem was lack of use during the lock down. Again, our sincere apologies and we hope you are back again to play soon! Sincerely, Anna Marie Lawson Area Director of Special Services

We traveled to Durham for a medical procedure @Duke. We needed assistance from guest services after our first night due to a noise issue in neighboring room. We spoke with ALucas (guest reception manager) the next morning. Ms. Lucas promptly and efficiently remedied our issue making for a smooth trip during my spouse's hospitalization. We are most appreciative for her assistance - she is the consummate professional. We ate most of our meals in the Pub and found all of the staff to be friendly and courteous - providing excellent service.

Although the hotel is subdued it is beautifully maintained. Staff were somewhat scarce at the entrance but otherwise it is the same wonderful experience, with extra-careful Covid protocols. Room service and housekeeping staff were terrrific.
