Good hotel, not so good customer service
The hotel is a little dated. The rooms and the beds are very comfortable and nice. One of the female receptionists was a bit rude and had a standoffish attitude, which really took me aback. I was not expecting that kind of service at a place like The Durham.

A bit more expensive than some other hotels nearby, but for the level of service and large rooms at the Durham, we were happy with our choice. The coffee bar in the lobby is excellent. The bed was a tad soft and the pillows could be upgraded...I kept meaning to ask for down pillows but never did. The rooftop bar is a great addition, even in February. The staff is super friendly and helpful, ready for whatever request we threw at them. The hotel is walking distance to lots of great restaurants nearby. Loved the Kingfisher bar next door (downstairs), had ice cream at the Parlour down the street, burgers at Bull City Burger & Brewery were terrific, and a 10 min. ride to Duke University.
