Top Museum of Life and Science Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn & Suites Durham/North I-85

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is immaculately clean, very quiet and conveniently located, and the hotel staff is so friendly and accommodating. The full breakfast in the lobby is delicious and coffee, tea, and hot chocolate are always available in the lobby."

The Durham Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Durham is not my idea of a sought after destination but i was pleasantly surprised on a recent business trip. This Hotel is really wonderful on several levels. Firstly it’s location in downtown. Durham is fabulous and close to restaurants, coffee places, etc. all within walking distance. The front desk staff in the lobby are extremely helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. The rooms are done with modern decor, and there is a slight art deco influence. There is ample parking at lots and garages, including city street parking right next to or adjacent to the hotel. In addition, the restaurant in the hotel itself in the lobby has excellent food at reasonable prices and a fabulous breakfast with complementary coffee for hotel guests. There were a couple of irregularities in the room, which I discussed with the front desk, which were minor. Overall, this is a four star Hotel and very reasonable priced . I highly recommend it and I would return gladly if my travels take me again to Durham NC . One word of caution having nothing to do with the hotel itself. That location downtown one must be somewhat careful and attentive . While not what I would perceive as unsafe, there are occasional homeless people who will ask for change as you’re walking along the sidewalks in the area, but not unlike many major cities in the US."

10/10 Excellent

"I will stay here again—it’s so centrally located, walking distance to tons of shops, restaurants, cafes, and small businesses. Everyone was so friendly and it was easy to come and go. My room was very clean. I travel a lot, and was delighted to find soft beds and towels. Really fun spot."
