The rooms were ok. Nothing great. The outside of the rooms really looks run down. The staff was not very helpful. They gave us a list of restaurants in the area on the day we left. There is no breakfast at all. One coffee pot. So no decafee coffee. No juice. No nothing. Holiday in. Is a better hotel. I would stay at any hotel besides this one.

Great location and lots of restaurants and activities nearby. However, I had booked a king room a couple of months ago, but when we checked in, I was told they were sold out and so they offered a queen room with no other options. We still had to pay $25 for parking and he offered a drink to make up for it. Then, there was only a partial roll of toilet paper in the room and didn’t realize this until settled in and refrigerator wasn’t plugged in so we had to plug it in and wait for it to cool but had cold drinks we needed to put in it. We could have called and had them deal with it and bring more supplies, but when you are paying over$300/night you expect the room to be ready and functional.

The staff was super friendly, but we were not happy with our room. It was very damp throughout our stay and our shower was not cleaned at all. There were numerous long dark brown hairs on the wall. It also seemed weird that there was only one desk chair and no other seating in the room. Lastly, though not that important, the bar does not have a cocktail menu.

Fun place to stay

We really enjoyed the vibe of this hotel. The retro yet modern look was great, and we had no idea that The Patio would be such a party! We lucked into “Salsa Sunday,” and it was really fun. Also, the location is amazing, and downtown Durham is an awesome place to explore.

Great Hotel

Loved this hotel. Love the vibe around the lobby, love the pool area bar, LOVED my yummy breakfast burrito at the bar. The location is great and walkable. There is parking just around the corner at the Corcoran St garage that will save you $$. Overall a great choice.
