We love staying at Home2 Suites. The rooms are clean and spacious; my (adult) child has a significant food allergy, so the convenience of washable dishes (and dishwasher), full-sized refrigerator, and microwave are well worth paying a little extra. The gym and indoor pool are also nice features (that we did not partake of, haha!) We also really like the hot chocolate bar and the afternoon cookies!

Without a doubt, this is a amazing hotel, we felt like the staff was welcoming their family. I honestly couldn't think of anything that wasn't fine. Location is convenient to Duke Hospital, short drive, but is a world away from the crazy traffic around the hospital. I am so glad I decided on this hotel.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean, with comfortable beds and the facilities were very well maintained. The little kitchen area in each suite is absolutely perfect for snacks and light cooking. What a great idea! The hotel is very centrally located. We stayed here for an out-of-town wedding and it was absolutely perfect. Would highly recommend.

My husband had eye surgery the morning we had to check in. We went to the University Inn hours before check in to pay for our room; which we realized would not be ready. But the wonderful woman at the front desk said she would call us when the room was ready; and she did! It was a relief for my husband to get in the room and rest after his procedure. That was going above and beyond!

Lots of space for my family of 5. We only stayed one night but could have stayed longer. Loved the walk in closet, separate toilet room from shower. There was also an indoor pool which my boys enjoyed. Check in was easy and the lady who checked us in was so wonderful and helpful, I wish I remembered her name but I think it started with an S. Thank you for a great stay!

This boutique property is located in the historic tobacco district of Durham, NC and is attached to the Durham Performing Arts Center, where we were attending a concert upon their re-opening night. With plenty of restaurants within walking distance and parking adjacent to the hotel, this is the perfect spot to park your car for the day and get your steps in.
The hotel itself is clean, quiet and modern with perfect amenities for a nights stay, including a small pool and gym, a nice bar area...

We managed to arrive at the Marriott RTP just before the Great Blizzard of January 22, 2016. The hotel was jammed with our 75 retirement party guests and refugees from the snow/ice storm. Even with the extra pressure, every staff member we encountered was amazingly competent, friendly, and helpful. Many of the staff had to stay overnight in the hotel for two nights because of the weather, but everyone on staff was still smiling and helping us after a very hard couple of days.
