The food options are good, but extremely limited. The museum on the premises is very cool. The staff are extremely nice. The only minor complaint is the room could've been cleaner, and updated televisions and phones wouldn't be a bad idea, and room service would be absolutely amazing!

The staff was very welcoming and professional. The location was great in terms of navigating downtown. Howeve the room was just average. It took a significant amount of time for the water to warm in the shower. I realize this. An be an issue in older buildings, so a heads up would have been helpful so we could have avoided cold showers. As an older individual having brighter lighting in the room would also be beneficial.

We arrived at 3pm after a 4 1/2 hour drive and was told it would be an hour but our room wasn’t ready until 5; yet the staff felt comfortable with checking everyone else in even though they arrived well after me. We were given an “upgrade” but the room’s lights didn’t work and the musty odor was atrocious! Racial inequality at its best! I’LL NEVER STAY THERE AGAIN!

A staple in Durham, NC

Room was clean. Location is excellent to DPAC, Durham Bulls and downtown. It’s walking distance to The Novus Apartments and to the Bodega. The smoothie shop Juice Keys is next door and it’s my absolute favorite! I love the art gallery that’s on the second floor. It’s open 24/7 and allows you to walk and enjoy art.
