What guests think

Self parking in the adjacent deck is often described as convenient, though a few guests found signage and exit instructions confusing or frustrating.

The best place to stay when in town for a Duke football game! So many amenities at the hotel and we ate every meal at their wonderful restaurants. Tailgate area was key for our stay! Thank you JB Duke

Did not have breakfast. Room was super clean and smelled nice! 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.

Gorgeous high-end hotel on the Duke west campus. Parking deck right next door or optional valet. Very modern and updated. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Our regular room was huge! Non-smoking campus and no designated smoking area outside was challenging. Dining, bar, and room service were great options.

This is a great place to stay for convenience to the Duke campus. When I checked out I asked for an emailed receipt. A week later, and after an email and a phone call to ask for it, I still have not received it. That's the reason for the 3 rating on staff and service. I would give the place a 1 rating based on failure ro send me my receipt, but the staff members I met were friendly and courteous.

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!
