AC Hotel gives an upscale luxurious feel. The lobby is beautifully decorated with modern fixtures and furniture. The bar area is always so neat and inviting. The staff is always pleasant. The rooms are spacious and clean. The only thing missing from this hotel is a pool.

The room was very clean and spacious. The bed and pillows were comfortably. The hotel in general was very quiet, which was refreshing. The bartender 5/23 in the evening was phenomenal. Incredibly kind and helpful. Definitely would stay here again

Stayed one night and the hotel was clean and the staff was very nice. The water pressure was nonexistent and the beds were pretty hard, but the room was clean and spacious. We prefer a colder room and the thermostat was locked at 65, though the temp never actually reached 65.

Although the parking garage attached to the property didn't have many spots they do have options right beside the property to ensure you don't have to walk far. We had an amazing time here and the staff were wonderful too. I will definitely be staying here again soon!

Durham Cozy Stay
Great stay!! Put us in the middle of everything. Room was comfortable and cozy!! Only improvement I noticed was the wallpaper could have been applied better. Not a deal breaker but, could be a quirk for some.
