Guest User: My daughter stayed at the hotel for one night before leaving Durham after graduating. The hotel was quite large, with a resort-like feel, and the rooms were spacious. However, there were very few staff members; only one person handled check-in at the lobby, and they gave me the wrong room key, forcing me to walk across the entire hotel to get it back. No one helped with the luggage cart, and I couldn't even offer a tip.

nick: The hotel is very nice, the environment is very elegant and the facilities are very good. The restaurant waiter was very welcoming and the dishes were quite delicious. It is a pity that there is no breakfast, but the place to shop nearby is not far away.

Guest User: The lobby bar has Starbucks coffee and tea for purchase. The room is spacious and clean, and looks quite new, but the air conditioner is a bit noisy when it is working. I don't know what's wrong with the fire alarm system, which is very disturbing. It went off in the afternoon, evening, 5 am, and 7 am during the two days of stay, and the duration varies, but there was no fire.

Guest User: It is indeed the cheapest hotel you can find around Duke. You can take the bus from the airport to the hotel entrance (remember to ask the driver for transfer ticket), and it costs 2.5 US dollars vs uber 50 US dollars. If you go to Duke campus, you have to walk 20 minutes to another station, follow Google map or transit app. There are fast food and supermarkets in front of the hotel. These are good places, bad places, that is, health, the smell of the room is very big, people feel that the health is not good, and later I found that it may be that the bathroom exhaust fan is not well ventilated. In short, the accommodation experience is not very good, because of this taste, I think other places may not be very clean.

july-fly: I stayed here while visiting Duke University. It's very close to the university. The room is equipped with a microwave and coffee machine. There are all kinds of frozen foods in the refrigerator in the lobby on the first floor. They can be heated in the microwave. They look delicious, but I didn't have a chance to try them. The room is good, nothing to complain about. Breakfast is made to order, the portion is large, even the price is very favorable, drinks and coffee are free

If you’re visiting Durham and want to experience a proper English afternoon tea without spending a fortune, we found a place we’d happily recommend. ☕🤍 During our day trip to Durham (we’ve already shared the full itinerary in another post) we stopped at Treats Cafe & Tea Room in the late afternoon, just before catching our train home. It was actually our first time trying a traditional English afternoon tea, and we couldn’t have picked a better place for it. 📍 Location: 10, 11 Silver St, Durham DH1 3RB, United Kingdom Silver Street is right in the centre of Durham, just after Framwellgate Bridge and on the way to Durham Market Hall. The café itself is beautiful and incredibly cosy, with soft pastel colours and a charming atmosphere. It’s also very photogenic, if you’re looking for a pretty place to stop for a break. 📸 The service was lovely too, which made the experience even better. ☕ Afternoon Tea for Two — £44 The afternoon tea costs £44 for two people (£22 each), and we thought it was excellent value for money considering how much food you get. And when we say it was a lot… it was a LOT. 😂 We couldn’t finish everything, so we actually took some of it with us for later. The afternoon tea included: 🥪 Sandwiches — with a choice of fillings 🍰 Two cakes — you can choose from the available flavours, including cheese or fruit options 🥧 2 slices of corned beef pie 🥚 2 slices of Quiche ☕ Two hot drinks from their extensive drinks menu Everything was delicious, and it was such a lovely way to end our day exploring Durham. For us, afternoon tea wasn’t just about the food, it was also about trying something we’d never experienced before and enjoying a little piece of British culture before catching our train. 💡 Our tip If you’re visiting Durham and want to try English afternoon tea, we’d definitely recommend giving Treats Cafe & Tea Room a try. The central location, beautiful atmosphere, generous portions and the price made it a great choice for us. The afternoon tea is served as a set for two people, priced at £44 (£22 per person). So if you’re travelling solo, keep in mind that the menu is designed for two rather than being available as a single portion. And yes… we left Durham with full stomachs and a little afternoon tea to enjoy later. 😂🤍 Have you ever tried an English afternoon tea? What’s your favourite part: the sandwiches, cakes or tea? ☕🍰👇
I visited Duke University to experience the campus atmosphere. 🎓 As I entered the campus, the combination of historic buildings and expansive lawns created a serene yet majestic ambiance. The architecture scattered throughout the campus seemed to reflect the school's tradition and history. Walking slowly through the campus, I could observe the daily lives of students and enjoy the relaxed scenery, naturally blending into the space. Duke University felt more like a city than just a school. It was a wonderful time to quietly stroll and soak in the atmosphere. 🌿✨
I visited Duke Sara Garden, a place where you can enjoy lush greenery and beautiful garden scenery. 🌿 The garden is filled with various plants and flowers, making it a perfect spot for a leisurely stroll and exploration. Walking along the nature trails, I had a relaxing and peaceful time. Taking photos of the garden views or sitting down for a moment allowed me to experience a calm atmosphere, distinct from the bustling city. It's also a great place to appreciate the changing scenery with each season. This is an ideal spot for a tranquil walk and a relaxing break in the midst of nature. 🌸✨

#MarchTravelEvent A memorable campus from my trip to the Eastern United States: Duke University. Located in Durham, North Carolina, this prestigious private university immediately catches your eye the moment you step onto the campus, thanks to the grandeur of its Gothic-style buildings. The chapel, in particular, is much more imposing in person than in photos. The campus itself is spacious and well-maintained, much like a park, making it perfect for a stroll. With its well-kept lawns and trees, it felt like a relaxed environment despite being an academic space. The students also exuded a free and energetic vibe, making the entire campus seem full of energy. Since tourists can visit relatively freely, it is a great addition to a campus tour or a casual walking route. It is a place where you can experience firsthand the open and relaxed atmosphere characteristic of American universities. ✔️ Eastern US Campus Tour ✔️ A Prestigious University Perfect for Photos ✔️ A Quiet Walking Course If you are considering attending a U.S. university or studying abroad, this is a campus worth visiting in person at least once. The atmosphere alone was motivating. 🌿✨
Haha, I’ve truly become an incredibly happy person wandering around the beautiful campus of Duke University! 🍂 Every day, I stroll under the dappled shadows of the trees, thinking as I walk, and my mood couldn’t be better. I even made a special trip to the Duke University Library, where I found some of my favorite journals and books, giving me that little sense of happiness 📖. The library is quiet and cozy, and reading while gazing at the maple leaves outside the window, with their gradient colors paired with the wooden tables, makes every photo look like a stylish postcard! This time, I stayed at the Duke University Inn, located at 502 Elf St. The hotel’s biggest selling point is its proximity to the campus—it’s right next to the hospital, sports fields, and theater, making it perfect for both artsy types and sports enthusiasts! Plus, there’s a free shuttle to take you to the campus, so no hassle at all. The rooms are clean and tidy, super comfortable, and the staff are very nice, even offering services in Chinese, which is super thoughtful for first-time visitors to Durham. If you ever get the chance, you must experience the rich cultural atmosphere and natural beauty of Duke University for yourself—it’ll instantly turn you into a happy little angel! 👼🏻

My visit to Sarah P. Duke Gardens was a relaxing and beautiful experience. The garden is divided into several sections, each offering a wonderful diversity of plants, ranging from serene Japanese gardens to spaces filled with colorful flowers. I enjoyed walking along the quiet paths surrounded by various trees and plants, feeling like I was in a natural oasis in the middle of the city. The park also provides comfortable seating for meditation and relaxation, making it ideal for picnics or quiet time. The service was excellent, and the staff were very friendly. It is a perfect place for nature lovers.
