Spacious room and clean which are important. The gym was good. The pool is a bit smaller and mostly hidden from the sun for a large portion of the day. Not the end of the world, but just good to know. Parking is 15 overnight in the garage next door and easily accessible. Free coffee downstairs

Good location

Hotel was clean and has a convenient location. Parking is easy with garage near by. Only knock I had was there was construction happening during our stay so a bit noisy.

10/10 Exceptional

Nice and clean. Not a boutique hotel but clean and new. Great location to go to a Bulls game and cute restaurants near.
Jayme, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

If you’re going to a show at the DPAC there is no better place for the money. Rooms were up to date with large windows and tall ceilings with a more modern design. Bathroom was upgraded and showers were nice. Easy onsite parking in downtown with an additional parking fee. But it’s good for 24 hours so you can stay parked after checkout to walk around or enjoy a show. Great experience overall.
Drew, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The property was nice, nice bar, nice lobby and cafe. Gym looked very nice and the view, overall, is great. I paid for a city view, but living local to the area know that I instead had a direct view of the one office building facing the opposite direction of the city. Otherwise the room was great, very comfortable and clean. I tend not to take these things too seriously, but someone who does might have objected.
Andrew, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great experience. When we arrived (in the snow), the heat was not turned on in our room. It was 60 degrees! A little chilly. It eventually warmed up and was very comfortable. Maybe no one had stayed in the room recently and we certainly understand saving energy, but maybe just check when it is reserved!
Marianne, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is the place to stay at in downtown Durham!

We could not have asked for a better experience. We were allowed to check in early. The staff was gracious, helpful and so nice!!! The room was huge. The large windows of the city view was really nice! The bed was super comfy, loved the walk-in shower and layout of the whole property! Can’t say enough about the manager and his staff. Absolutely exceptional!

4/10 Fair

Receptionist Benjamin Granby needs to be removed

The reservation was made under my e-mail for my partner Rebecka who was staying at the hotel with her mother for a lecture. Shortly after her check-in, I received an e-mail of the receptionist asking my partner out on a date. The receptionist seemed to have no clue he was e-mailing me from what the e-mail suggests. He also went out of his way and provided free breakfast and parking as incentives to try and impress my woman. Using customer information such as email or phone numbers for personal matters is extremely unprofessional and should not be tolerated. I was going to leave this alone but I can’t help but to think of how many times this creep has done this to other clients. I request a full refund of my stay, since upon telling my partner what happened, neither her nor her mom were comfortable sleeping at the hotel after knowing this man used private information to reach out and try to get to her. I also request that the mentioned receptionist is removed from his position or at the least suspended. This unprofessional approach made my woman’s stay very uncomfortable for what was supposed to be a mom and daughter family matter stay at your facility. As an active duty service member currently deployed in the Middle East, incompetent people and unprofessional behavior I cannot keep up with. Attached is Benjamin’s email and my response to it.
Rebecka Lynn Quebec, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Really enjoyed my stay. The room was extremely clean and well appointed. The staff was friendly. Check in and out was extremely easy. Parking was easy, just make sure to get your parking pass. The only slight problem is that it was hard to find. I didn't realize it was attached to the DPAC building and the Aloft sign was not easily seen. I didn't eat breakfast so I can address the food.
