Top Durham Hotel Reviews

Sheraton Imperial Hotel Raleigh-Durham Airport/RTP

10/10 Excellent

"Very close to the airport inconvenience"

DoubleTree Raleigh Durham Airport at Research Triangle Park

8/10 Good

"The room was definitely showing its age. The wood furniture & wallpaper had a lot of bangs and chips. The room decor was dark. It was clean though and I was comfortable. I had an issue with the fridge and maintenance replaced it right away. All the employees were very kind and friendly. The lobby is cozy with a huge stone fireplace. "

SpringHill Suites by Marriott Durham Chapel Hill

10/10 Excellent

"Loved it there! Clean, comfortable rooms, super friendly staff. I enjoyed the gym, jacuzzi, and pool. I had to check out early for a work conference, so I didn’t get to sit down and enjoy breakfast, but it looked good. I would 100% stay there again."
