Recent Reviews in Durham

5/5 Excellent

A very nice property

"Our room was clean, the bed was comfy and towels were nice and fluffy. The breakfast was wonderful with lots of fresh fruit and egg selections. There was a Bonefish Grill within walking distance which we really liked. We would stay here again.. The only reason I didn't give it 4 stars on service was only one elevator worked so the wait was typically long. We ended up taking the stairs most of the time."
