My stay at the hotel was a pleasant experience overall. The rooms had a special Southern charm, with a separate bunk bed area for the kids and a king-size bed for us, allowing for some separation. However, the 'Golf course view' from room 452 did not meet my expectations as it was obstructed by an unattractive building roof, only showing the driving range. The service was top-notch, with the staff being incredibly friendly and attentive. The location was fantastic, especially for visiting Duke, though the dining options lacked variety and were on the expensive side.
