What a wonderful stay! The valet at checkin was extremely courteous and helpful with our bags as we checked in. The front desk gave us great dinner recommendations within walking distance. The coffee bar made excellent drinks for after dinner, and we had coffee bean service arrive by our door in the morning. We definitely chose the right place for our stay.

I was disappointed with the lackluster rooms and lack of room amenities (if you like minimalist, this is your place) for the amount we paid. To the hotel’s credit, I did see pictures on the website so I don’t know what I expected. The lobby was fantastic. I loved the floor to ceiling windows that allowed lots of light to come into the space. And, the assortment of board games was a nice touch. When I booked the room, I missed that we could have gotten a senior discount and so I asked for it upon check in, but to no avail. We were told credits could not be given once we had paid. I guess I felt penalized for paying up front. I think it would have been a nice touch (made us feel really appreciated) to go ahead and credit us. It also listed on the booking that we would each get a free drink (2) and we had to firmly request this at the bar. It wasn’t much of a problem after we explained, but the servers seemed confused about why we didn’t have a token?!? One server charged us and said we would get credited upon check out. I was a bit skeptical since we had been told payments already made couldn’t be credited but after we asked for it when we checked out, it was expeditiously taken off the bill. Overall, we won’t stay again due to the cost for what you get.

Check-in was terrible. They didn't have the rooms that I reserved and said there was nothing that they could do because they were sold out. Parking is down the block and in a highrise parking lot that might be best described as "sketchy." There is only one elevator in the hotel so the wait is incredibly long -- we ended up getting escorted to the kitchen elevator behind the coffee shop. The bathrooms are quite beat-up with pealing paint around the door bottoms.

For the price of the room it was decent - no frills hotel room that they tried to dress up with a couple of cute toiletries. Had to ask housekeeping to re-clean the toilet and they were very courteous and on top of it. Otherwise, I see no benefit to booking this hotel over a Marriott.

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.
