Outstanding staff - professional, polite and welcoming. The hotel is in a wonderful location, a short walk from some of the best restaurants in Durham. The hotel lobby which serves as a dining area was packed on the holiday. Very clean, comfortable rooms; locally sourced toiletries and plenty of hot water. Five stars across the board and we look forward to our next stay.

For the price of the room it was decent - no frills hotel room that they tried to dress up with a couple of cute toiletries. Had to ask housekeeping to re-clean the toilet and they were very courteous and on top of it. Otherwise, I see no benefit to booking this hotel over a Marriott.
