Top Stem Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn Raleigh / Town Of Wake Forest

10/10 Excellent

"Super friendly staff!"

The Lodge at Duke Medical Center

8/10 Good

"Can’t beat the parking and convenience to Duke University Hospital. I stay often and will continue to do so. Unfortunately there is almost no sound proofing between the rooms. Expect to enjoy your neighbor’s conversation and TV. For this price range it is below par. Even the breakfast has good options and fair prices."

Courtyard Durham Near Duke University/Downtown

8/10 Good

"The staff was great. The young lady at the front desk was very nice. The carpet in the hallway looks old and stained. The shower on first glance looked clean but once inside you can see black mold around the fixtures and edge of tub. Sheets felt odd like they were pilled. All in all an okay stay. Very near to the interstate and within walking distance of two nice restaurants."
