The only reason The Durham is not receiving 5 stars is that the other guests were obnoxiously loud from 2am to 430 am. I called and complained twice. The noise continued way too long. The night shift person made the excuse for the noisy party stating they just came from a party on their roof top bar and stated she would make a note for the first shift staff. When I checked out, the first shift staff had no record of my complaint.

This is the place to stay

The staff was great. Ezra at the desk was a complete pro. They were dealing with a minor issue the day we checked in but the whole staff made it a non issue. Location is perfect, nice sized rooms and dont miss the rooftop for a cocktail and some small bites.

Great location, park at the deck across the street (free on weekends/$25 weekdays)- walk to tons of great restaurants downtown. Very cool boutique hotel details like fresh ground coffee dropped at your door in the mornings, and tray of local Durham-made snacks in the room for reasonable prices. Some biological looking stains on our sofa were offputting and our robes had some stains as well. Our carpet in the room had a big bleached out spot at the entrance. The cleaning isn’t impeccable- but I definitely felt the bed linens, towels, and shower/bathroom were clean. Bed was comfy, room was quiet. The desk staff brought up water and ice when we needed it, they were also very friendly and helped with making recommendations. We were celebrating an anniversary and the hotel sent up a kind gift for our special occasion. Would stay again.

Nice service, meh rooms.

Isaac at the front desk was excellent. Nice to comp 2 free drinks because it was my birthday! The Superior King room was spacious but quite scant and not so "updated". Adding modern sofa and chair does not constitute a renovation. Walls are bare. TV isn't a smart tv. Not a mirror in the living part of the room - bizarre esp with empty walls. Women need natural light for makeup and that's not offered in the bathroom. Mildew in shower grout. No USB charging options. a/c makes a weird noise with compressor cycling on and off all night. Didn't try the restaurant or rooftop. Lots of noise from the street until 10pm from the banging drums outside.

Durham Bullls Game

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay. Front desk check in was very smooth. The front desk clerk was very helpful with info about the hotel and also provided me the rain out number for the Durham Bulls baseball game. Only knock I had was the room didnt get as cold as I'd like. Wasn't miserably hot just not as cold as it should be

We loved the location of the hotel and all of the special touches. We really enjoyed the ground local coffee delivered each morning and the coffee bar in the lobby. The snack bar in the room had local products for purchase, and there was a complimentary Burt’s Bees (another local company) hand balm in the room. The rooftop bar is a lot of fun and the hotel is near lots of shops and restaurants. The staff is super friendly and helpful and the hotel is very clean - extremely important to us!! You will love staying here!
