It was an easy check in upon my arrival. The two gentlemen greeted me and made everything quick. The only thing I was say was that the breakfast could have had better options. Our toilet was acting up so the nice gentleman was able to switch our rooms to get it resolved I will definitely be back to stay

thed room was clean, good size, well made, comfortable and had everything. But the re was no shower gel for both days and the shower door did not stay closed while taking a shower. it slid back open. also the shower it self was difficult to shut off because of a new valve they placed, whcih was very sensitive. the breakfast was reasonable, but there was only one gluten free option, "Oats" for a vegetarian

Convenient and spacious

Front desk staff okay, but not pleasant. Room is large and comfortable. Only thing was disturbing was how dusty the lobby bench was. One side not (where someone had sat) and the other side very plainly noticeable. During our three night stay no one cleaned the surface. Still a go to spot when in Durham.

We chose this location soley because of the Pelotons offered in the fitness center. Unfortunately, all were out of service during our stay. Also, our curtains in our room were not hanging properly when we arrived. I notified the front desk on Sunday, left my phone number, and was told a manager would contact me. We checked out this morning and I have yet to hear from anyone. This was our worst Mariott Bonvoy experience to date. As of this review, on February 12 at 6 pm EST, I still have not heard from anyone from the hotel.
