We loved our stay at The Durham hotel. We've stayed in several hotels in the area, and this is our favorite to date. All staff members we interacted with were amazing!

Anne, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Hotel in a great location and staff was great. Rooms clean etc. However, they have a lot of events going on during stay that limit access to various areas during stay. Roof top bar was closed for private party but we didn’t know until we went to access. The coffee bar area was closed so there was no place to relax with a cocktail in the hotel after a long day. The rooftop bartender did bring us drinks in the lobby area for the inconvenience but by then they were vacuuming around our feet. We booked based on location and roof top and disappointed access wasn’t available nor was it posted in advance of our stay.

George, 1-night trip

Our room was wonderful and the staff were friendly and responsive. There was some work being done do we had to use the service elevator for our whole stay. We're already talking about our next trip to Durham and our next stay will be here.

This is the place to stay

The staff was great. Ezra at the desk was a complete pro. They were dealing with a minor issue the day we checked in but the whole staff made it a non issue. Location is perfect, nice sized rooms and dont miss the rooftop for a cocktail and some small bites.

Roxanne, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Check-in was terrible. They didn't have the rooms that I reserved and said there was nothing that they could do because they were sold out. Parking is down the block and in a highrise parking lot that might be best described as "sketchy." There is only one elevator in the hotel so the wait is incredibly long -- we ended up getting escorted to the kitchen elevator behind the coffee shop. The bathrooms are quite beat-up with pealing paint around the door bottoms.
David, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great stay

The Hotel was in a great location to walking, restaurants, bars. Hotel was well kept although could use some upgrades. The food in both restaurants was amazing. The Rooftop Bar had the best cheeseboard at 10pm! Our room in the first night was on the side of the bar Queenies open till 2am so we didn’t sleep well. The hotel moved out room the next night and upgraded us. Service was great and the coffee bar is open all the time for coffee- excellent pastries and candies and beer! Great stay
