Convenient Location
The staff and team were all exceptionally friendly and helpful and the location is about as good as it gets conveniently located to all the best downtown spots.
The lighting in the room was a bit of a challenge, no way to keep a light on by the bed to turn off when you go to bed without good all the way to the door and walking in the dark. The switch by the bed and lights by the bed all only portrayed by the door switch. Minor but annoying inconvenience.
Someone upstairs was very loud it sliced like they were throwing furniture around the room at all hours of the night and morning so i has a rough night of sleep.

Clean, friendly, room was kind of sparse, no view from the small window. Surprised and happy to find an ironing board, but no safe. Nice shower.

The Durham hotel is a quaint small hotel. Everything in Durham is walkable from the hotel. The hotel breakfast was very good and the rooftop bar is a fun place. Many excellent restaurants, bars, and craft cocktail lounges are in the area.
