This is a neat hotel. The rooftop dining was really cool as they had igloos and yummy winter drink options. It's in the heart of downtown and walkable to all the things. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. There was some crazy loud drag racing out front at 2am, but otherwise, a nice stay. Worth $500 for one night? No.

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.
