A Step Above the Rest

"I think the Durham story made a big impact on our readers. I've heard nothing but positive things about the article and the city itself. That's not a credit to me, but a credit to you guys. I've had a lot of conversations with CVB folks in the last couple of years, and they're all great, but you guys were a step above the rest - the knowledge and passion you have for your city is incredibly infectious. I'll definitely be making a return trip very, very soon."

The Washington Duke Inn: Perfect for a Duke Admissions Visit

"Excellent service from check-in to check-out. When we didn't have time for the breakfast buffet our first morning, the staff gave us a few croissants to have with the complimentary coffee and we were all set... If you are a parent visiting Duke they can shuttle you over to Admissions which saves you having a difficult time parking. Walk back, it's close enough."

Wonderful Food and Great Atmosphere

"We checked Tripadvisor for good restaurants while we were visiting Duke University in Durham, and Nana's turned out to be a real winner. The food was delicious and it had a warm, friendly, and trendy atmosphere...We would definitely return to Nana's the next time we are in Durham"
