This is the place to stay

The staff was great. Ezra at the desk was a complete pro. They were dealing with a minor issue the day we checked in but the whole staff made it a non issue. Location is perfect, nice sized rooms and dont miss the rooftop for a cocktail and some small bites.
Terry, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Check-in was terrible. They didn't have the rooms that I reserved and said there was nothing that they could do because they were sold out. Parking is down the block and in a highrise parking lot that might be best described as "sketchy." There is only one elevator in the hotel so the wait is incredibly long -- we ended up getting escorted to the kitchen elevator behind the coffee shop. The bathrooms are quite beat-up with pealing paint around the door bottoms.
David, 2-night trip

Great stay

The Hotel was in a great location to walking, restaurants, bars. Hotel was well kept although could use some upgrades. The food in both restaurants was amazing. The Rooftop Bar had the best cheeseboard at 10pm! Our room in the first night was on the side of the bar Queenies open till 2am so we didn’t sleep well. The hotel moved out room the next night and upgraded us. Service was great and the coffee bar is open all the time for coffee- excellent pastries and candies and beer! Great stay

jackie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We loved the location of the hotel and all of the special touches. We really enjoyed the ground local coffee delivered each morning and the coffee bar in the lobby. The snack bar in the room had local products for purchase, and there was a complimentary Burt’s Bees (another local company) hand balm in the room. The rooftop bar is a lot of fun and the hotel is near lots of shops and restaurants. The staff is super friendly and helpful and the hotel is very clean - extremely important to us!! You will love staying here!

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.
