We enjoyed staying in a smaller and quieter place. Loved that there was no carpet. Seems so much cleaner. Location was key as I had a procedure at Duke Hospital and the hotel's free shuttle service was excellent. We would definitely stay here again.

"Good Hotel & Shuttle to Medical Clinic"

Overall Score4.0/ 5

We had a good stay. Room was comfortable and clean. Night person on duty was very nice and helpful. I choose to stay at University Inn because of convenience and the shuttle runs longer than other hotels. I enjoy the ride and the driver is always a joy to talk with. The hotel is convenient to the medical clinic and makes the visit easier to navigate.
