We go to Durham to visit our daughter at school there, and we just sleep and shower there. This hotel is clean, comfortable and conveniently located. Staff is nice. Covered parking for $0-$5/night depending on which platform you reserve with.

The Inn is quiet, which I appreciated. The room I stayed in was very clean, but there were signs of water damage around the bathroom ceiling, and there is visible mold growing in the bathroom on the ceiling about the shower. Overall, staff is welcoming, kind, and accommodating.

Very convenient to hospital. Staff friendly and helpful. Room well kept spacious and clean. Older building so walls a bit thin and hallways lack carpeting so it can be a bit noisy at times. Overall for the price it is a well placed place to stay.
