Liked that it was close to my husband's medical appointments at the VA. Wish there had been more options for breakfast, but we were able to eat at the hospital, which was fine. We'll definitely stay there again.

The location next to The Duke Medical center was great . The free on site parking with extended use period allowed me to leave my car at the Lodge for the duration of my visit to the Hospital. It was a very rainy day and the free shuttle to the hospital was quick and efficient in a clean vehicle and very nice driver. The breakfast cooked to order was great.

Clean accommodations and friendly staff. Easy parking and check-in. Conveniently located next to hospital. Room itself was good - pretty dark (no overhead lighting) but clean and decently appointed, especially for the price.
