Top Downtown Durham Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Univ Area Chapel Hill

10/10 Excellent

"The property was convenient to our destination, clean and reasonably priced."

DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Raleigh - Durham

10/10 Excellent

"We recently enjoyed a 3 day stay at the doubletree. The staff were all helpful.and friendly, and the,suite was very nicely renovated. Bed was comfy and bathroom was well stocked, with nice products and good water pressure. we liked having a fridge and microwave. Rooms were quiet with good sound insulation. Breakfast was solid but fairly basic, and it took some time to get beverages. the gym was adequate but !imited due to work being done in the usual workout room. overall it was a good experience and we would return, especially since we had nice upgrades as Hilton honors members. And don't forget those warm cookies!!"
