The room is not cleaned well, there was contact lens of last customer left in the night stand and I reached out to the customer service. They offered to change a room but I refused due to kids live in the next door. I repeatedly ask them to clean the room again and change all the sheets as this finding was very uncomfortable. All the answer I got was they did do the house cleaning and no apologies. In the second day, I found another lens next to the phone, which means they only removed the one I noticed and not even clean the night stands throughly! The hotel is located in a beautiful campus and the building is great. But this experience was very disappointing regarding a four star hotel. Watch out when you check in.

Comfortable rooms. Friendly staff. Perfect location. I don't like that you can't open the windows and so you have to rely on aircon, even though it's in the middle of Duke Forest. That's a shame and would probably prevent me from staying there again as I love fresh air!

The only downside was parking. Instructions were not good so ended up behind people in the exit line who didnt know how to apply the tickets. This happened all three times i left the parking deck. Perhaps written Instructions would be better? And better directions on where to go from the deck to ger to the hotel itself.

Fantastic location for events on Duke’s campus. We only had one issue and it was due to a waiter either with an attitude or incompetence. Ignoring us after we ordered food and drinks was so obvious. We were being patient until we watched 4 tables come in after us, receive food and multiple table visits by the waiter while avoiding us. After an hour we flagged down a manager and suddenly our food showed up. Of course, the waiter continued to ignore us until check time. I understand things happen and would not hold this against the JB Duke bc of one person. Great location!

For a nearly-empty hotel in mid-July (I saw only 10-15 people (non employees) during a full 24 hours on site including evening (7-8) sitting in the lobby, and 2 meals there (dinner and breakfast), I was stunned by the “unavailability” of a 2-bed room and “need to charge 1/2 day” for late checkout (only 2pm!). My guess is they didn’t want to open vast areas of the hotel or keep skeleton staff any longer than minimally necessary. If full or slammed I might feel differently, but the place was a complete ghost town. Seems they forgot what business they are in: HOSPITALITY.

Most Staffs were nice and patient. Some were not. I borrowed a hairdryer at night and they sent me a horrible one(very dirty with a lot of hair and got moldy). After 5 nights in JB Duke, I moved to Washington Golf for another 5 nights. Although Washington Golf is older than JB Duke. The service here is way much better than JB Duke. People here are nice and patient. I heard both hotel belongs to the same company. I believe the professional training is different.
