This hotel is in a great location. Lots of good restaurants, the convention center, Carolina Theater and Durham Bulls are just a few blocks away. The room was clean and comfortable. However, late night a couple tried to get into our room and kept trying over the course of several minutes and my husband yelling that we were in the room and they had the wrong room. In the morning, a staff member snaked a cable under our door to unlatch it while we were getting dressed. We told the front desk about both of these incidents but got a very mild response. When I received the bill, it was for a different room number than the one we were given keys to. Nice hotel and location- management could improve.

There is nothing to like about the property. It is basically three floors of rooms along three floors of a parking garage. The only bar or food service is outside. Very hard to believe Hyatt has its name on it. It was central Durham, thus a good location to get around to DPac, Campus, etc. But rooms were small service was zero. Asked for soap for the shower. Never got it. Asked for a hard copy reciept. Wouldn't print one. YUCK

When we arrived at 4, check-in time, the lobby was full of families waiting for their rooms. There was nobody at checkin and we had to wait ten minutes to even hear our room (and clearly very many rooms) were not ready. They said it would be 20 min. We gave our number and went to have a coffee, but after an hour and fifteen they had not called (as they said they would when our room was ready), so we went back. The checking guy is again not there. We wait for 10 min. He finally shows up and he still has a long list of names and phone numbers of people who need rooms. He had a room for us—though he hadn’t called us. I guess he was just giving them to people who showed up rather than following his list. Completely ridiculous. Thus got a hotel charging $660 or something for two nights. Completely pathetic. And no housekeeping—though we hadn’t said we didn’t want it.

Great, clean place. Stayed three night and didn't receive room cleaning, which was a little strange. Had to ask twice for someone to come unclog the toilet, but other than those two issues, it was a great stay.

The room was clean but a little awkward in the fact that it seemed only half of the room had been updated. The bathroom was amazing clean, beautiful, and recently updated but the rest of the room needed some help. The closets and cabinets were broken and damaged. I was put off by having to get out of bed and walk to the wall to turn off my bedside lamp. I had to search to find the in room microwave and coffee maker, then had no where to put them to use them. I wasn't too happy that I had to pay $25/day in order to park in the garage owned by the hotel. It was nice that we were able to walk to the theatre and a couple of restaurants, but there isn't much beyond that to visit close by, we still had to drive to most places. I was mostly just disappointed by the fact it was a little on the pricier side but didn't deliver. They didn't offer breakfast and cafe in the lobby only offered minimal options for breakfast that I felt were over priced. I paid $5 for a small iced coffee, and $20 for a simple hot sandwich.
