Big rooms, lighted & covered parking and near Duke

We were in Durham for a quick weekend visit of our Duke student. The hotel is just 2.5 miles from her downtown Durham apartment. The rooms are spacious. They have mini refrigerators and a microwave. The beds are very firm with good pillows and towels. We were there for one of the winter storms (2-3” of snow) and it was very nice that our car could be left in the covered parking lot (which has great night time lighting). This is my second time there. No amenities, but I’m not going to Durham for the hotel amenities. I sleep there and get ready to leave for the day there. It does have a tiny market in the lobby, which was a lifesaver for us the day of the storm when we had headed out for dinner, and then quickly realized it was getting bad to be out on the roads, so we turned around and bought frozen meals and noodle soup and had a cozy dinner in our room until the storm and snow clean up was over.

The hotel was clean and parking was convenient. However, the bed was very uncomfortable, sagging in the middle, and we were disappointed to have housekeeping knocking on the door at 9am before we were ready to check out.
