Enjoyed breakfast at the Washington Duke Inn & Golf Club this morning. The food was good, with a nice selection of fresh fruit, smoked salmon, pastries, bagels, yogurt, eggs, bacon, and made-to-order omelets. The outdoor seating area was especially pleasant, offering an elegant and relaxing atmosphere to start the day.
Service was friendly and attentive, and the overall dining experience was enjoyable. While the breakfast buffet may not be the most extensive I’ve seen, the quality was solid and the setting made it worthwhile. -
High tea is incredible! They have a great vegetarian option, and they are very accommodating. They also have a kids version. Our toddler came with us recently, and they were super friendly to her and supportive! They even made a tea kettle with apple juice in it for the toddler. Highly recommend!

Beautiful Inn with absolutely amazing staff. Stayed here for 2 nights by myself for a confrence- the room was cozy- well maintained, furnished, and clean. The only thing I would note(though minor), would be the lack of a microwave option in the rooms.
I want to really highlight the staff that handled our catering and attendance during the conference though- they were incredibly well coordinated and did a remarkable job of keeping the entire confrence center clean and neat despite the chaotic confrence goers. An additional note- the dining options across the inn were all delicious and served well considered and well constructed dishes at large scale. Washington Dukes Staff across the board deserve the 5 stars! -
Top tier service. Beautiful restaurant and inn. We attended the buffet breakfast and it did not disappoint. Food was very fresh and staff were attentive to our needs rhe entire time. We will be staying there again

We were in Durham for a wedding and the reception was at The Washington Duke Inn and Golf club. we had a suite which was had plenty of room. The room was run down, light bulbs missing or out, The furniture was chipped and beat up. There was no doubt that these conditions had been there for quite some time. The air conditioning was difficult to set at the proper temperature. This is definitely not a 4 star hotel. As far as the reception that we went to, the food was wonderful, staff very nice and attentive.
