Top Durham Hotel Reviews

Courtyard Durham Near Duke University/Downtown

8/10 Good

"Everything was fine & clean other than there was no coffee in the reception even early in the morning. I have never been to a hotel that doesn't have free coffee. That was odd. Other than that, the stay was pleasant and the bed was super comfy!"

Holiday Inn Express Durham by IHG

8/10 Good

"Upon check in, I was told that I only booked one room (I booked two). After 20 minutes on the phone with Expedia, the staff member was corrected. Fire alarm went off about an hour into our stay. As people headed for the exits, the staff member at the front counter stopped everyone, said it was a false alarm. Decent options for breakfast. Pancake maker was out of order, but breakfast staff were very friendly. Comfortable beds."

8/10 Good

"The hotel was a reasonable price for a quick one night stay traveling from NJ to Atlanta. There's a Mexican restaurant next door. Nice room,although the grout in and around the bath could use some bleach. The AC was quiet. The breakfast was typical of the free buffets, coffee was actually very good! One odd thing was the parking lot lines. The parking spaces were so narrow you had about 12" - 18" on each side of the car when you parked. There were several spots where folks parked a little off and the adjacent spot was unusable."
