Well it is a good hotel, but we were there for 3 days and they never cleaned our room. Despite seeing housekeeping cart on our hall, they never cleaned. We ran out of toilet paper & towels & had to ask for them. Valet parking is very slow. Says it takes 20 minutes, but we waited for 20 minutes for someone just to show up one morning. We opted to park in street our last night so that we wouldn’t have to wait so long for our car to head to airport. They were working on broken elevators on our floor and the men began clanging and drilling & making noise at 7:30. Overall our stay wasn’t pleasant.

Still feels like an old dentist's office

Pros: Great location, friendly staff, bar and restaurant on site, comfortable beds. Cons: unfortunately, the conversion of this old office building into a hotel is incomplete - a broken elevator, chipped old floors, terrible lighting in the guest rooms, a suspicious odor in the bar area - it feels like an incomplete remodel. The broken elevator meant that floors 7-15 were all relying on one old elevator. This was quite inconvenient. The art takes the place of comfortable public spaces to meet up with your group, so even that potentially appealing detail turned out to be a negative overall.

I felt like the room was way overpriced! I also felt that the lighting in the room was a lot to be desired. The way the buttons worked, either all the lights were on or all the lights were off. That was the most unusual thing I’ve ever seen in our room, and I travel quite a bit! I also felt my throne was very small with little or no sitting space.

A cool experience, but a mediocre hotel.

Like the neighboring Durham and Unscripted boutique hotels, 21C is a cool experience with unique amenities and a fun vibe. Also like the Durham and Unscripted, 21C struggles with the basics: Cozy Bed, Cold AC (or heat if that’s your thing), The room was clean, quiet, and looked great. Bathroom could do with a better showerhead. The AC fan never seemed to turn on no matter what, so the room was a too warm. The mattress was hard and lumpy.

The staff at this location were very friendly and very nice. The only complaint I have is for $450 for a room. You think the room would be just a little better. There was a stain on the carpet. There was no hot water. We called down up front and still didn’t get any hot water went to the concert five hours later still no hot water and we had a room next to something that was humming the whole night the shower head in our bathroom need to be changed out all did was leak water so basically the room was quite disappointing, but we may be back. We like the location because it’s close to the Dpac.

The hotel is in fair condition and room was clean. Downside is the room AC which didn’t work properly and room was a bit musty. We had to swap rooms in order to get a less musty experience. For some reason we didn’t have hot water running at all in the evening nor in the morning…not to bad since the weather was hot, but this is not a 3 star hotel should miss in any circumstances. I recommend other hotels near by for weekend stays/visits.
