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.

We stayed here for NYE/New Year's Day, and the front desk team was incredible. They were personable, energetic, responsive, and kind. The Suite is a great choice for a stay--it's spacious and perfectly situated in the hotel. What a great place to close out 2025 and ring in 2026!

What a wonderful stay! The valet at checkin was extremely courteous and helpful with our bags as we checked in. The front desk gave us great dinner recommendations within walking distance. The coffee bar made excellent drinks for after dinner, and we had coffee bean service arrive by our door in the morning. We definitely chose the right place for our stay.
