It was convenient to the Flying Home swing dance at the Durham Armory. Museum had quality art. The open bank vault in the basement was interesting. Valet parking was efficiently run. I recommend a $5 tip. Counting House restaurant was very nice. Their biscuit was more like an English muffin, but not a great one. Everything else was excellent.

The concept is super cool (two floors of a 24/7 art museum?!), the rooms were spacious and managed to be both updated but kept their art deco charm. The front desk folk were incredibly helpful and informative--I couldn't have asked for more during my super short stay.

Staff was fantastic and loved the gallery. The room was not as nice as I expected with a few things not working - nothing critical. I would stay here again.

Amazing - must go again!

This was one of the best experiences in a hotel, and I have traveled around the globe. The staff here was absolutely phenomenal, and the manager at the front desk was absolutely lovely, caring, accommodating, and kind. From the housekeeping staff to the valet it was absolutely amazing. The restaurant staff is something to be desired, but hopefully they will learn in time because they all seemed new, but we’re absolutely lovely even though they didn’t know much about the menu. That’s just me being brutally honest. The room was absolutely clean and comfortable, and the best of all was that it was quiet. Everything about the hotel was chic and cool and I couldn’t have wished for better for my short stay to visit my friend in Raleigh.

The front desk staff were accommodating as the first room we stayed in was changed due to noisy elevator. The valet team was awesome; gave us lots of smiles and tips on where to eat. We did not have enough time to enjoy all of the museum but what we did see was very interesting. The service in the bar area was just blah! As restaurant staff was not so welcoming (espresso machine broken) however brunch the day we were leaving was great so kodos to the Chef.

Classy with a hard bed

Very nice place - well kept - very clean and modern. Art museum running through three floors was a very nice addition to the experience. Bed, however, was rock hard. I’m sure everyone has their individual preference but I’ll have to stay somewhere else in the future just for that reason. Excellent neighborhood and great restaurants all around.

The air conditioning and elevators were not fully operational. Also in terms of food, consider adding non-pork (such as turkey) meat options for breakfast.
