The main trouble we had was when it came to eating. I had a meal in the restaurant and for chicken skewers and chips. The chicken came out without any chips and then when they did come out I had finished my chicken 5 minutes before the chips had been severed to me. We had to explain to the bar staff and one show them what we wanted to drink. I think this was due to them being young and english not their first language of speech

Wont be booking here again
The stay started ok and the room was nice. I had had a long day travelling and working. I ordered some food from the bar, an hour later my food still hadn't arrived. I went to reception to complain as I couldn't find anyone else. She called the catering manager to come and see me. After 10 minutes he came out the receptionist told him the problem. He looked at me as if to say how dare you complain and walked off without saying anything to me. I told him not to walk away from me and he glared and continued to walk. I went packed my bags got a refund and left to find a much nicer hotel with helpful people.

Family trip to Durham
Hotel v clean Upon check in to room , the room was boiling hot. We immediately turned down the thermostat and opened the r windows. When I called reception they explained that many of the rooms on my floor had been impacted by faulty air con systems and that an engineer was coming tomorrow. We did then get two fans in to the room. The room was so hot that even two fans didn’t keep the temperature down so we had to have windows and curtains open to ventilate the room. It was in excess of 30 degrees - we were sweating and went through 2 litres of water overnight. This was a known issue before we had checked in and I was surprised they didn’t offer to change room , provide any drinks or any complementary refreshments . Room was a good size but with windows open , the noise of the city was very loud, the room hot, fans going all night so we didn’t get a good sleep Next day I tried to change our cab to the station and after waiting 15 mins then had to chase up as it hadn’t been done, by which time it was quicker to walk with our bags to the station I did expect more attentiveness and standard from a Marriott hotel and although the lady who delivered our fans was lovely and kind, the rest of service was below 4 star

The maze hotel of Durham!
Hotel is rated four star, I felt it was three at best. Our room was at the rear of the hotel building near the river. Our window faced in the Courtyard main Road area. It was a maze to get to the room up to level two! But you had a long walk to the rear area, then from floor two you had to go down stairs again to level one. It was upstairs downstairs to the room. The room was a little dated, furniture was dark like the 1990s,carpets of the whole hotel were well used and in need of a clean or replacement. Took two attempts to find the room. A little frustrating are we arrived wet. And needed in the room fast. Breakfast was ok! With the standard breakfast choice! If older people stay ask for a map.

Great Stay for Business Trip
I stayed at the Marriott in Durham for three nights on a business trip, and it was excellent. The room was clean, comfortable, and quiet, perfect for unwinding after a busy day. Breakfast each morning was delicious, with a good variety of options, and the staff were attentive and friendly. The hotel’s location was convenient and well connected to the city. Overall, it was a great experience - I’d definitely stay here again!

Room was in need of a refurbishment and lacked some amenities one would expect at this price point. Had to ask a couple times for house keeping attention which was eventually addressed. Staff seem low on motivation. Breakfast was good but be sure to pay in advance. Location however is fabulous which makes it an important hotel that management will provide a bit more attention Adventure. Also got a parking charge from third party company although I paid for parking. I had to get the reception to reverse and now I have to follow up with the car rental company. One of a few inconveniences experienced on this stay. Will likely stay again however due to location and really hoping for improvements.
