Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is ideally situated in downtown, right in the center of Durham's business district, with more than a dozen fantastic restaurants just a short walk away. The rooms boast comfortable mid-century style bedding, but the presence of an alley nearby can be a downside. The customer service is top-notch with staff who go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. The dining experience offers great gluten-free options, especially the delicious omelettes.
The hotel is perfectly nestled in the heart of Durham's business district, surrounded by a plethora of excellent dining options while providing superb customer service. The mid-century style rooms offer comfortable bedding but are somewhat dimly lit. The dining experience includes great gluten-free offerings but could have a few more typical Corsican products. Plus, the hotel keeps everything clean, although the Wi-Fi is not complimentary.
