Had a great time at the Durham Hotel. The elevator was a little nerve wracking but everything else was great. Service was excellent and everything we needed was in walking distance.

It was a good night's stay. The food in the cafe was excellent for dinner, the service attentive. A minor problem was addressed swiftly and well. We will return.

Nice hotel, wonderful staff, but the walls were a bit thin in our room so you could hear the guests in the next room.

The Durham hotel is a quaint small hotel. Everything in Durham is walkable from the hotel. The hotel breakfast was very good and the rooftop bar is a fun place. Many excellent restaurants, bars, and craft cocktail lounges are in the area.

My husband and I enjoyed our two night stay. The staff was amazing throughout the day. Very courteous staff throughout the course of the day from being greeted every time we walked in the building to the restaurant staff.
Ramona, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a great experience staying here. So many things to do right out the front door (and in the hotel as well) and the room was fantastic. Lots of thoughtful little touches made it a great experience.

Nice staff. Clean rooms. Convenient to explore.
Somkit, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location, park at the deck across the street (free on weekends/$25 weekdays)- walk to tons of great restaurants downtown. Very cool boutique hotel details like fresh ground coffee dropped at your door in the mornings, and tray of local Durham-made snacks in the room for reasonable prices. Some biological looking stains on our sofa were offputting and our robes had some stains as well. Our carpet in the room had a big bleached out spot at the entrance. The cleaning isn’t impeccable- but I definitely felt the bed linens, towels, and shower/bathroom were clean. Bed was comfy, room was quiet. The desk staff brought up water and ice when we needed it, they were also very friendly and helped with making recommendations. We were celebrating an anniversary and the hotel sent up a kind gift for our special occasion. Would stay again.
Sheri, 2-night trip

My wife and I live in Raleigh, and we were excited to spend our 12th anniversary weekend in Durham. The hotel is perfect for a weekend getaway, and we may do the same thing again for our 13th!

Room and bathroom was clean. Beds were neatly made. quiet hotel for relaxing/quiet time.
Jason, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice service, meh rooms.

Isaac at the front desk was excellent. Nice to comp 2 free drinks because it was my birthday! The Superior King room was spacious but quite scant and not so "updated". Adding modern sofa and chair does not constitute a renovation. Walls are bare. TV isn't a smart tv. Not a mirror in the living part of the room - bizarre esp with empty walls. Women need natural light for makeup and that's not offered in the bathroom. Mildew in shower grout. No USB charging options. a/c makes a weird noise with compressor cycling on and off all night. Didn't try the restaurant or rooftop. Lots of noise from the street until 10pm from the banging drums outside.

Property was nice, and convenient. Our particular room was without a television and phone. We were offered another room exchange however it would have been an inconvenience. My Mother is disabled. The restaurant provided a good menu of variety and food was delicious. Staff was great.
Gwendolyn, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good hotel, not so good customer service

The hotel is a little dated. The rooms and the beds are very comfortable and nice. One of the female receptionists was a bit rude and had a standoffish attitude, which really took me aback. I was not expecting that kind of service at a place like The Durham.
1-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel is centrally located, I think a bit over priced for what it is. Some of the carpet and decor is tired looking. The early morning staff acted like they were doing me a huge favor by giving me coffee supplies at 5:30. Overall, staff could have been more hospitable.
