Very walkable to shops and restaurants in downtown Durham. The walls seemed incredibly thin and we could easily hear other guests conversations. Self-parking is limited to street parking, which is free on the weekends but is limited to two hours on weekdays. Room was clean

Nice concept and hotel. However, the pillows felt like concrete. I'm not sure what changes they are making, but there's much more potential to be realized. Furthermore, the restaurant was closed upon my arrival (8:30 pm on a Sunday evening). I had to search for a meal.

Very impressed and it's in an amazing location. They also allowed our two large dogs to stay (for a fee) so that was the reason we chose 21c.
