Comfort Inn & Suites Durham near Duke University

Comfort Inn & Suites Durham near Duke University

8/10 Good
"The hotel was clean, rooms were comfortable, staff was exceptional. However, some of the furniture was a bit beaten up, and the guests were awakened with the fire alarm in the middle of the night. The alarm was unavoidable, but the front desk manager allowed an extended late checkout due to the inconvenience. It was a little noisy due to where my room was located, but overall, it was a comfortable stay. I definitely would stay at this property again."
