    Customer service was fair. I arrived earlier than the 4pm check-in time. There was a $25 fee for early arrival. I wasn't given information about my free breakfast package until I asked. The hot food was decent. I also had to ask where the ice was (even floors only). I appreciated the free shuttle to/from the airport. There's a wonderful walking path available right outside the back area.

    1of 2 bugs found in our room

    We recently stayed at the DoubleTree in Durham and was disappointed with my experience. While the rooms are indeed very spacious--one of the main reasons we chose this hotel--the condition of the property was not desirable. The hotel is noticeably outdated. The wallpaper in several areas of our room was torn and peeling off the walls. The lighting was poor, making the space feel dark and dingy, and the carpet hadn't been cleaned in quite some time--it was almost sticky. To make matters worse, we found two bugs in the living room area. The bathroom was no better. The bathtub jets didn't work, and the toilets loudly struggled to flush after every use. Overall, the spaciousness of the room was overshadowed by the issues with cleanliness and maintenance. I expected more from a DoubleTree and wouldn't recommend staying at this location until some serious updates are made.

    My stay here was wonderful. I love that I was able to have a room with the view of the pond. They also have little peddle boats to use for guest. I recommend the walk g path if you're not that brave. The suite was spacious and clean, non-carpet flooring in hotels is a big plus because cleaning cannot be skipped out on. The staff was not as open and attentive as I would have hoped. I did notice them having personal side conversations during check in. The bar food and drink were excellent and worth a second round.

    Extremely happy with the hotel. During this time especially, you become very apprehensive about where you are going to stay. I felt really happy about our decision to stay at this hotel on the way to visit family. The hotel was incredibly clean. The protocols taken at the front desk were very minimal contact. Upon checkout, we were able to drop the keys into a basket that would later be disinfected. Sadly, we missed out on those lovely chocolate chip cookies that the hotel offers complimentary in the evenings. As a loyalty member to Hilton, I am very familiar with those cookies. The coffee station in the lobby outside the cafe was a great touch. The sign to use the dispenser with a napkin was great. The staff at the cafe was very personable and kind (we didn't have breakfast here). All the surfaces out suite were very clean. The sinks and tubs were so clean. Toilet, remotes were in plastic bags. The bed was made to perfection. The water pressure in the shower was GREAT. The hotel was very quiet with lots of parking. I was concerned when we arrived (it was after 12am) and the entire lot was filled with cars. We didn't see anyone in the lobby or hallways. We barely even saw anyone in the parking lot. When we arrived late, we had to ring a bell for security to come out. The only disappointment was that the pool is closed but I suppose it's safer this way. The housekeeper across the way was really cleaning the room thoroughly. I had interrupted her because I needed another lotion - she was so kind with a wonderful energy. I will be staying here again!

    Service was great upon my arrival in the wee hours of the morning. I had no issues checking into my room. The hotel was quiet. The parking lot was full but I was able to find a space fairly quickly. My room was very clean and comfortable. It was way more than I needed for such a short stay. This hotel offered the best rate for the night of my stay. The location was convenient and all worked well. I dashed out early in the morning without perusing the common areas of the hotel. Check-out was a breeze!

    Ripped carpet

    What an absolute cockroach infested dump of a hotel. The unappealing odors throughout the hotel and musty smell to the room was an immediate red flag. There were stains on the bathroom door and on the chair (see pictures attached) but I was hoping I could get away with staying here for just one night. I returned to the room approximately 4 hours later and saw a cockroach in the bathtub. I showed the picture of the cockroach to the front desk and the lady told me she did not know what kind of bug it was (see picture of cockroach in tub attached). She was clearly annoyed that I found a cockroach and her only solution was to put me in a different room. Obviously I wasn't going to stay in another room at a cockroach infested hotel so I left at 3 in the morning to find somewhere else to stay. To get a refund the employee offered zero assistance and said I need to contact the third party booking service on my own. The employee took down my information and said a manager would be in touch but that never happened. It was very frustrating to see an employee of what is supposed to be a halfway decent hotel react so indifferently to a cockroach infestation and the risk that poses to customers and their health/home. It seemed like she may have been used to this kind of complaint. Don't stay here, there are cockroaches in this hotel and the front desk has told me they have not witnessed any cockroaches. Clearly nobody here has actually looked hard enough.

    They cut out the window to get in and steal our car

    This is not a good choice of hotel. Not only is there no security, there are no cameras and they could care less at the front desk, if anything happens with you. We stayed for 3 nights, to wake up to our car stolen on the last night and they said there was nothing they could do, smh! If you care about ur safety and vehicle, book elsewhere, even if it'll cost a few more dollars! Search for a hotel with secured parking, security, cameras, etc.!

    i actually exclusively stay at this hotel, not for the accommodations, but more so for the restaurant (see my previous review on the restaurant). Room service is wonderful and a great plus. having a Hilton Honors level is great. the gym and pool is really wonderful. when it comes to the room and accommodations, i only give it 3 stars only because the bed is old, the AC is so old school, and it really seems tired with a bad need for a refurbish. location is perfect and right next to the highway and down the street from Tri Center where most businesses are.

    The purpose of my one night visit was accompanying my partner to the Pearson Professional Center. This hotel was directly across the street, making it convenient. And I thought given the price and location it would provide me a quiet nights rest. Boy was I wrong... The 2 star rating has absolutely nothing to do with the staff who were amazing, more than kind, inviting and professional. In fact, they and the delicious complementary cookies were the highlights. So why 2 stars? At night this place looked and sounded more like a night club. But I'll start at the beginning of my 1 night stay. I was able to check in 30 minutes early thanks to the awesome staff which was a relief after a long drive. Greeted with a large and clean room making first impressions positive. 3:30pm till 6pm things were quiet and peaceful. I was able to nap during this time. Returning just after 10pm I see some young men smoking what appeared to be weed in front of the entrance. No big deal. Who am I to judge? Walking into a busy lobby, looks like a party is about to do down. I'm not a happy camper as I take the elevator to rm 214. I'm directly above the lobby which would prove troublesome later that night. I'm 33 but live like an old man. 8 hours of peaceful, undisturbed slumber is required for optimal health. 11pm the TV is off, phone on don't disturb, and it's lights out. That's when I discover these walls are paper thin. I hear music and conversations next door clearly. The doors are extremely heavy and slam automatically. My location isn't helping as I hear rowdy patrons checking in and going to this 2nd floor party. At this point I'm highly agitated. Thought hotels were for traveling and sleeping, not parties. I've experienced this from Red Roof Inn and Extended Stay. Figured spending a few extra bucks would help me avoid these types of situations. I'm a light sleeper, easily disturbed. So I start getting dressed and plan to speak to the staff to get me a quiet room but my partner says just sleep on the pull out sofa bed in the living room. Now here I am, sleeping on springs wrapped in a thin clothe. Can literally feel each spring jabbing me in the back, hips, and ribs. Now I'm uncomfortable and wearing out my already injured back. Can a veteran get a comfortable, quiet place to sleep on vacation? While the music and conversations from next door are quieter, the party crowd in the hall and lobby, and the constantly slamming doors more pronounced. I was up till 3am...

The hotel itself is unique, stylish, and made for a memorable stay. I also have to give a special shout-out to The Count House bar. My group stopped in late looking for a drink, and Sara and Rachel welcomed us with such warmth and genuine hospitality. They made us feel like regulars from the moment we walked in. Sara crafted what was, without question, the best Mezcal Old Fashioned I've ever had. It was perfectly balanced and expertly made.

    My wife and I stayed here recently and had a pretty good time, but we did have a few issues during…read moreour visit. First, valet picked up our car outside the hotel and returned it promptly when we checked out, so no complaints there. The valet seemed to sincerely care about our time (he apologized for making us wait for a few minutes), so we appreciated that. Valet was charged directly to the room and cost $35, which was a little pricey but nothing crazy. The front desk staff were generally present when we needed them but weren't super warm or friendly. The hotel also didn't have ear plugs on hand, so make sure you bring your own :) Not a big deal, of course. It was a special occasion so my wife and I rented the penthouse suite at the top of the hotel for the night. Honestly, was it worth the money? Probably not, but it was fun. The suite had a bathtub outside on the balcony, which was pretty cool, but unfortunately there's an apartment building right next door that's even taller than the hotel. My wife and I were taking a bath and chatting and I saw a woman in one of the apartments open her blinds and stare at us for a while. Kind of awkward! I guess there's a privacy barrier of sorts surrounding the balcony, but it's only a few feet tall and of course doesn't help when your audience is stories above you in another building. The view from the balcony was pretty nice, although you had to be standing to see it due to the aforementioned privacy barrier :) We were also a little underwhelmed by the bed. It was comfortable, but smaller than we expected. We are not tall people and our feet were practically sticking off the end! We were also surprised that the bedroom TV was a little antiquated and only offered DIRECTV channels instead of Netflix / Hulu / etc. We were given a printout with the different available channels but the guide didn't seem to actually correspond to what was available on the TV. We were hoping to see a specific movie but our options were limited, so we ended up watching Family Guy and falling asleep :) Ah well. I didn't test the TV in the living room but since it had the same DIRECTV printout next to the remote, I assume it had the same channels. Other random thoughts: 1) There were two bathrooms - a main bath and a guest bath, I guess. I didn't see any way of turning on the exhaust fans in either bathroom. Just kind of weird to have this issue in a fancy hotel room. There were also no hand towels ready in the guest bath. It also would have been nice to have an indoor tub for the main bath - what if it's storming outside? That being said, the shower was spacious. 2) They provided robes to use for the sauna, which was nice, but the second robe was missing slippers. Also, it was quite confusing to find the sauna - there weren't any signs, and we had to first enter the exercise area and then enter the sauna from there. The controls for activating the sauna were a little confusing / primitive, but it worked out OK. That being said, after we got out, we noticed that the nearby drinking water dispenser was broken. Man, you need to have access to water after you get out of the sauna! 3) The elevators were confusing! We always had to take two different elevators to get to our room, and we definitely got mixed up when we were trying to find the sauna. 4) The museum was OK. Nothing crazy cool, but it was a good way to spend 15 minutes. 5) The hotel is located squarely in downtown Durham, so it's a pretty solid location. There are coffee shops, bars, and restaurants all within walking distance. Overall, we had a good time. Some aspects were a little disappointing, though, especially for the price tag.

The building is very long - we were at the far end and it helped us get our steps in! The room we were in was at the end in a corner and was an odd shape - literally no other way to put it.
