My past experiences at the Washington Duke Inn have been positive but this recent visit was disappointing. When I checked in, the receptionist was extremely rude and unhelpful. Unfortunately it set the tone for the remainder of my visit and I was unable shake how poorly I was treated. The hostesses at the restaurant were too busy chatting to seat... More

We have stayed at Duke Inn 5 times so we know it is consistent in guest quality of experience from ambiance, decor of rooms, bath, public areas, beautiful grounds with abundant flowers and dining expeiences.

Very elegant rooms and common areas, although rooms could be larger given the cost. Lots of comfortable stuffed chairs and sofas suitable for reading or conversation. Excellent restaurant and bistro. Abundant self parking. Outdoor dining on patio is available overlooking a putting green. Very friendly and helpful staff. RGinTally

We spent 1night here with some friends, as we were going to an exhibit at the art museum. The hotel was lovely, and our rooms very comfortable, luxurious bathrooms and super comfy beds. We got very good rates as it was out of season, and although the view from the bedroom was not anything to write home about, I would... More

We were in with a family wedding. The hotel staff was awesome. In particular, the housekeeping staff was always there to greet us, to ask if we needed anything, etc. Prices were good. Food delicious. And we loved the golf course. We'll definitely return on any future visits to Durham. Everything/everyone was just spot on.

I was here for a conference, the property itself is beautiful, the golf course and all the trees and beautiful outdoor areas make it very serene. The staff was very friendly, the rooms were clean and I was impressed. The rooms were a bit overpriced as well as the food in the restaurant and room service but that is what... More

Have contacted the Washington Duke Inn on two different occasions to inquire about reservations. We always travel with our furry baby. This facility advertises that it is "pet friendly" however I have not found them to be friendly at all. They should be considered "Pet Tolerant" maybe. You cannot leave your pet unattended in the room and they require a... More

I was only there for a day, but I would definately love to go back for a longer stay. Very historical decor and family pictures --nicely decorated. Many options for dining, casual and dressy.

Beautiful hotel with a great lobby bar and outdoor patio overlooking the golf course. The rooms are spacious and well decorated, very clean and well maintained. This is the best hotel in and around Durham. Very close to campus so you can walk to the various buildings, especially Fuqua School of Business. Highly recommended for families, business travelers, and those... More

The Washington Duke Inn is a lovely small hotel and conference center immediately next to Duke. The staff are young (many students), but for the most part eager and helpful. The food at the bar and restaurants is amazingly good, and the facilities (renovated gym, pool, running trail around the Inn and the golf) are terrific. Free fast wifi throughout... More
