It was close to the hospital.

The walls are very thin. I was at the other end of the hall from the elevator and could hear it ding when it arrived on the floor. The woman that checked me in acted like I was a bother. And charging for parking is crazy!

"Just OK (and broken aircon)"

5.0

Well located for hospital and Duke University. Shuttle bus.

The air con unit in the room was exceptionally noisy and ineffective during a hot week. Not being used to AC I didn’t realise until I encountered the same unit in a different hotel the day after I left.
