The owners are a lovely African American couple and their decor is exquisite (they have an amazing coffee table in the living room area). When we mentioned we were sort of celebrating my wife's birthday, they upgraded us to a larger room. We enjoyed the grounds and even walked to downtown Durham for dinner. The neighborhood was mostly quiet, excepting a few sirens that you hear in any city and the sleep quality was good. We helped ourselves to some herbal tea and sat out on their porch at night. Breakfast next morning was delicious and we had a nice conversation with the husband. All in all, a lovely experience.

Delicious seems lacking as a word when describing Monica's breakfasts. They are always wonderful with an eye towards healthy eating. Very highly recommended.

The suite upstairs is really spacious, with a bed room, a sitting room, and a huge bathroom. The jacuzzi in the bathroom was really relaxing after a long day of driving. Frank gave us directions to dinner and has a handy file by the door filled with directions to all kinds of nearby points of interest. We ended up walking ~.5 mile to downtown and did a little bar hopping. The room had a TV and they just got satellite, but we don't really watch TV so we didn't turn it on. Breakfast with the other guests was delicious and filled with great conversation. Frank joined us as well after he had brought us all our food. Thanks Frank and Dolly for a great stay in Durham!

The place is stuffed with antiques, the owners are quirky yet very kind, and the neighborhood isn't as dicey as some people say.

The pricing was quite reasonable for the area and we were very satisfied with our experience.

The reviews were promising (I thought I saw one or two reviews that stated parking was free or available on the street by the hotel). I booked the morning of my stay for a little over $142 (whereas JB Duke was $191 + free validated parking). I arrived around 5:30pm and parked in the retail shops parking just for my check-in and figured I'd either get free parking in AC's garage or find street parking later (was just dropping off my bag). As my check-in process was almost complete the staff member asked if I had a vehicle - I confirmed and she pulled out a card and asked that I place it in my dash, told me where the elevators were and wished me on my way. I read over the card while in the elevator and see that it's $20 per night for garage parking. I guess no biggie because even with a parking charge, the stay was still cheaper than JB Duke. The room was nice and clean and I was facing the street on the second floor (room 204). When I arrived back later that evening around 8pm I was able to find a parking spot quickly on the basement floor of the garage and entered the elevators to go to the 2nd floor. I checked out the gym as it was on my floor (ellipticals, pelotons maybe?, treadmills, rowing machine and free weights) - decent for a quick workout. I turned in for the night around 8:45 and the linens looked clean but didn't smell "fresh" and then noticed I could hear the dreaded stomping above me... and then I could hear the man next door hacking/clearing his throat. The man eventually stopped but the stomping basketball dribbling seemed to go on until 10:30pm. I did not get a good night's sleep due to the "thin" ceiling and I was awakened by the street sounds the next morning). 2.5 stars for price and convenience to Duke. Will pay more next time to stay at the other place down the street.

Good: Location (close to Chapel Hill & Durham; very easy access to main travel arteries, though nothing you could safely walk to) Room layout Cleanliness Front desk staff Well-equipped kitchens Fair: Breakfast (standard fare) Linens/maintenance (frayed carpet and towels) Pool (small and plain, but it's there) This is not where you would stay on vacation, but if you have business in the area or need to put family up for a while, etc., it's an OK choice. The rooms are fine for a stay of a few days and the full kitchens will definitely meet any needs you have in that area. The bathroom vanity has plenty of space, but the shower has one of those tiny wire racks where everything falls because the spaces are too wide to hold the toiletries. When I was walking down the halls, it seemed like there was a lot of noise coming out of the rooms. I lucked out and got a room at the end of the hall, so my bedroom didn't share a wall with another room, so you might inquire about getting one of those.
