When traveling for medical care, every detail matters — especially cost. Families visiting Duke University Medical Center or UNC Hospitals in Chapel Hill often face unexpected expenses like hotel bills, parking fees, and transportation costs. At MedStay, our mission for more than 24 years has been to ease that burden.

We specialize in connecting patients and families with hotels near UNC Hospital and hotels near Duke Hospital at discounted rates, with personalized service that no online booking site can match.

Here’s how we help you save money during your hospital visits:

1. Exclusive Discounts with Partner Hotels

Thanks to long-term partnerships, MedStay has negotiated special patient and family rates at hotels near Duke and UNC. These rates are typically 10–30% lower than what you’ll find online. By booking through MedStay, you gain access to savings that aren’t available to the general public.

2. Parking Fees Waived at Most Hotels

Hospital visits can already be stressful, and expensive parking only adds to it. At many of our partner hotels, MedStay has negotiated parking fees out entirely, saving families an additional $15–$25 per night. That means more money stays in your pocket, not in a parking garage.

3. Firsthand Knowledge of Each Hotel

Unlike big travel sites, we know our hotels personally. Our MedStay agents have visited most of the hotels near UNC and Duke hospitals, toured the rooms, and spoken with staff. This means we don’t just book you a room — we recommend hotels we know meet the needs of patients and families, from cleanliness to comfort to location.

4. Options for Every Budget and Length of Stay

Whether you need a budget-friendly one-night stay near UNC Hospital for a doctor’s appointment or a spacious extended-stay suite near Duke Hospital during long-term treatment, MedStay matches you with the right hotel at the right price. Many extended-stay hotels also feature kitchenettes, helping families save even more by cooking meals.

5. Free Shuttle Services Save on Transportation

Many of our partner hotels offer complimentary shuttle service to Duke University Medical Center and UNC Hospitals, eliminating the stress of traffic and parking while also cutting transportation costs. Over the course of a longer stay, these savings can be significant.

6. A Free Service That Puts Families First

MedStay is completely free for patients and families. You’ll never pay us a service fee. Instead, you benefit from our negotiated discounts, waived parking fees, and insider knowledge of the Durham, Chapel Hill, and Raleigh area. It’s a personalized service that online booking engines simply can’t provide.
