Spacious room and clean which are important. The gym was good. The pool is a bit smaller and mostly hidden from the sun for a large portion of the day. Not the end of the world, but just good to know. Parking is 15 overnight in the garage next door and easily accessible. Free coffee downstairs

The Hotel was nice. Clean and well maintained. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. It was terrifically conveniently located next to the Durham Bulls Ballpark with plenty of restaurants nearby. My only complaint was the pay for breakfast in the lobby. It was Continental Style…but only the coffee was free.

Arrived a little after 3 pm for check in was told the room was not ready. We were in town for an event at DPAC next door, we walked around for a little bit and next thing you know it was 1.5 hours later and room was still not ready. Asked the front desk attendant she was doing her best, finally we are getting super close to time for our event to begin and our room was ready. It was very hot in the lobby no one apologized offered us a drink or anything for our inconvenience. We arrived in our room to be greeted by a hot room and someone’s fake nail left at the entrance floor.
