Right next to Duke’s campus, the AC Hotel offers guests a convenient place to stay that’s close to all the action. With multiple dining options, you can enjoy a meal in the kitchen or lounge. Guests rave about the top-rated fitness center, open 24 hours.
Nice hotel and pleasant staff. Rooms are basic but perfectly workable. Easy walk to Duke University and close to restaurants. Breakfast buffet is a bit expensive and you need to find the staff to get utensils. We found the taxi they recommended artificially bumped their prices but that's not on the hotel and more of an FYI. Overall good experience and good location.

Super nice hotel, close to Duke Medical Center, very friendly people, nice bar and small plates. Highly recommended. A little on the expensive side, but you get what you pay for. 5 stars all the way.

Beautiful clean hotel. Aurelia was very courteous and friendly when she kindly brought an extra set of sheets to our room. The room was very clean and modern.

The hotel lobby, bar and rooms are lovely. I just love the room layout and decor. It's very clean and tranquil. Very restful and beautiful. The front desk staffers were friendly and helpful. Check-in and check-out were seamlessly efficient.
We had two areas of disappointment:
We found the smell in the lobby, bar and breakfast area to be incredibly unpleasant. At first, I thought it was related to some sort of cleaning supplies but the smell persisted throughout our stay. It was very unpleasant, especially when having a drink in the bar or breakfast in the morning.
We were also disappointed by the staff at the breakfast buffet. You have to get your silverware from them as it's not on the buffet for some strange reason. They were no where to be found when we had fixed our plates so we sat there for awhile and then finally went to go find someone. Even then, they were slow to respond and never spoke directly to us. We had go find them to ask for the check and then find them again to ask for a pen to sign the check. It wasn't busy - there were only 2 other couples in the breakfast area at the time. If you aren't going to provide silverware on the buffet line, then I would hope that the staff would be more attentive.

Clean rooms, modern features. Their TVs can connect to your Netflix or Amazon Prime but no other streaming services. Either the people above us were obnoxious or you can really hear every footstep of the person on the floor above you. No pool but they have hydration stations and a fitness center.

Excellent facilities and the property is maintained immaculately, with excellent ambiance, lighting design of rooms and even the room fresheners. Staff is friendly, helpful. Standard queen bed rooms are large for 2, and bathrooms are very clean too. Parking on multiple levels is convenient, and overflow parking to the premises nearby is also good. Walking distance from Duke and Duke hospital and all major university west campus locations. Plenty of duke and triangle go buses are also available. The hotel offers bikes too. Certainly will be back!
