Coffee is not free. Not even drip. They had some machine in the room but that was terrible. They had a Starbucks machine that was broken but were still charging Starbucks prices for drip coffee. $8 to park was silly. Front desk clerks in the evening and the morning had an attitude. Breakfast was ridiculous price and not complementary. The clerk said it’s a “full service hotel” which translates to the charge for everything! Disappointing. Will not stay here again!

The hotel is nice. The service at the front desk was amazing. The bar and restaurant service was also great. Our room could have been a little better. There was some hair in the shower on the wall and also the conditioner bottle. I know if I would have notified the front desk, they would have taken care of it immediately. But we were only there one night. The fridge also didn’t cool too well. I am not sure if that was normal or it just wasn’t working well. Again, we were only there one night after the Duke game, so it was perfectly fine for us.

A beautiful hotel with amazing service!
We hosted our Alumni Reunion at one of their ballrooms and from the time we walked on site we were welcomed with the best service.
Our alumni had a blast & everything was beyond amazing (food, service, communication etc). -
This was my second time staying at this location. Nothing significant to report. I booked the Queen Suite. The room had some great upgrades, and everything worked just fine. Some of the furniture displayed signs of wear, but such is to be expected.
I only had brief interactions with the staff, but each time was pleasant and they were patient and accommodating to all my questions.
The food at the in-house restaurant was good. I was skeptical of BBQ at a hotel restaurant, but the chicken plate was quite tasty. However, if you'd prefer less expensive options, the surrounding area has some great options within a few miles. Brier Creek (i.e., Raleigh) is an easy 20 min drive that offers shopping and other restaurant choices.
The later, noon, checkout was great and aligned with my travel plans nearly perfectly. I'll definitely keep this location in mind whenever I have an overnight stay in Raleigh-Durham. -
The Hilton near Duke University in Durham was a solid stay overall. The staff was very polite and genuinely helpful from check in through the rest of the visit, which always sets the tone in a good way. This would be a strong option for a conference or business stay given the layout and amenities.
That said, the breakfast pricing is a little hard to swallow. At around $20, with the Diamond benefit covering only $15, once tax is added you are basically paying restaurant prices anyway. At that point, it is tempting to eat off property and get more variety for the money.
The hotel itself is clearly showing some age, but it feels well maintained. When we had an issue with the AC, maintenance responded quickly and resolved it without any hassle. That goes a long way in my book. The gym was excellent and well equipped, which was a nice bonus.
Overall, a comfortable and dependable Hilton with great staff, a strong gym, and good conference potential. Just be prepared for the breakfast math to feel a little off.
