The property was clean and well-maintained.
The booking stated that breakfast was included, but there was no free breakfast. Also, I had requested adjoining or at least neighboring rooms. I was told that adjoining rooms did not exist, but this wasn’t true. The room that we were given did have an adjoining room, but we were not given that room, or even a neighboring room. Our second room was down the hall. Also, the front desk clerk made multiple mistakes when programming our room keys requiring me to make multiple trips back downstairs to get it corrected while my family had to wait in the hall locked out of both our rooms late at night after a long day.

Staff was so friendly and helpful. Always said hello when we entered and exited the lobby. Location was excellent! We stayed to go to the DPAC and it was so convenient. Room was very clean, spacious, loved the view! Also, lots of restaurants within walking distance.
Furnishings, carpet need to be updated. There was only one ottoman in front of the sofa (that served as a table) and it was very worn. No table to eat at in room, with all the extra space, it would have been nice to have a small table with two chairs.

Great location and friendliness of the staff. Also loved the size of our room for our group Also loved all the windows and the natural light.
The room was a bit sparse in terms of hooks to hang towels and decor a bit outdated, but not a problem.

I felt safe, it was clean and in the middle of everything so never had to drive.
Signs about where the pool a s fitness center are would be good and a sheet of what the hotel offers would have been helpful. Also, i had an issue finding the light switches and couldn’t turn on the bathroom light without turning on all lights

This hotel was a wonderful surprise since it was our first time visiting the area. I loved the way it was located next door to the DPAC. In addition, check out was at noon.
Everything was great.

The only hotel bed I have ever slept in that didn't make my back ache! The next door location to DPAC made seeing our show so easy. The staff were very friendly and efficient. It was also helpful to have the shampoo, conditioner and soap provided in the shower.
Would have liked a hot breakfast included for the price.

The staff and hotel were great. I believe the hotel is being remodeled. It's beautiful. Staff were very friendly and made us feel welcomed. The view from our room of downtown Durham was great too.
There was nothing we did not like.

We book this hotel when we are attending programs at DPAC. we like the close proximity of the Sportsbar. We can park our car overnight and walk to DPAC.
Breakfast should be complementary.

Location, size of room, cleanliness, comfort, bar area, shop.
slightly frustrating that on the first morning the chef didn’t turn up for breakfast so we had to go elsewhere. great that the hotel suggested another place though. nonetheless, that cost me $25 which I wouldn’t have had to spend if the hotel breakfast had materialised.

The location and the facility were excellent. It was everything we hoped for, and the proximity to the Baseball stadium was beyond perfection.
Everything was to our satisfaction.
