Located near the Botanical Gardens and Morehead Planetarium, this hotel is only 11 miles away from Raleigh/Durham International Airport. Duke University and the North Carolina Basketball Museum are also not far away. After a day of touring the town or visiting with a college student, families can enjoy some quality time by the outdoor pool. The kids can swim while the adults can relax on the surrounding pool deck chairs. The comfortable guestrooms and suites feature a king or two queen beds, a mini-fridge, microwave, coffee maker and flat screen television. Additionally, the spacious suites feature a sleeper sofa in the separate living room area and a kitchenette with full-size refrigerator, stovetop, microwave and dishwasher. Some of the suites feature a fireplace as well. Complimentary Wi-Fi access is available in the guestrooms, so there is never a concern for kids or adults about staying connected to work, home or school while traveling. Families will love to start each morning off right with the free hot breakfast buffet that offers items like eggs, hot and cold cereal, yogurt, fruit and more. Or if your family is in a hurry to get out the door in the morning, grab an On the Run breakfast bag to go. Guest laundry and a fitness center are also available.

I have never heard of an 'incidental' fee and I have been a Hilton honors member for years. $50 for what? I want my money back! No explanation for what this is for is outrageous. There was no bar in the room, not even bottled water. No special cleaning, no service animal fee, no laundry done, no room service.

The bathroom room is a sliding affair that also serves the closet. The problem is that the door does not close completely and does not afford the privacy you expect in a bathroom door. Our room was directly across a hallway from the office where the maids work from. During the day there is a lot of noise from the maids talking. The guest rooms should be separate from the work areas of the facility. Our window looked out over an alleyway behind the pool area. On the other hand the breakfast area is fine and the food decent.
