Stayed here 3 nights during our college tours in the area. Loved the size of the hotel room. Easy parking in the garage right next door to the hotel. Great gym and pool to cool off. Lobby bar and pool table was a nice spot to hang out at night and relax. Loved the location too!

We were in town for a Durham Bulls game -- excellent location!!!! We were able to wait in our room for the rain to pass :) Ate dinner across the street - excited for the new milkshake restaurant to open for our next visit. Staff exceedingly friendly and helpful. Hotel is busy but they were super calm and patient.

I loved almost everything about this property. It was convenient for everything in Downtown Durham. It was modern with a bit of an industrial feel without being cold and unwelcoming. The room was vast. The bed was fantastic. If I had any complaints, the bathroom was small (I am not). The TV was supposed to be DirecTV, but something went wrong. They changed it, and we had only 20 channels and most of those were "news" channels. There were four pillows on the bed and all very soft. Perhaps one soft and one firm on each side of the bed? Other than that, amazing!!

We love staying here for the convenience to DPAC and downtown Durham. The rooms are very comfortable & clean and the staff is welcoming, friendly and professional. Until this visit, we were never awakened by trains in the middle of the night, but this time we were, with shrill whistle blasts.
