We checked in later in the evening. Had to wait a few minutes for the front staff person to arrive to check us in; he seemed to be preoccupied with his previous task as he checked us in. All good though. The room was comfortable and the in room amenities were fine. Only issue with the stay was the ice machine on our floor was out of order so I had to go down a floor to get some ice for my cooler. Property was clean and tidy and the room was also very quiet. A nice quick stay was had by our family. Location was also nice as the things we were going to do were all nearby.

None of the card locks were working on room doors. Could never reach a front desk person either before or during stay. Room smelled strongly of insecticide or some other type of chemical. Hair on bathroom floor. Very dated and depressing. Very low ceilings in hallways made us feel claustrophobic. Homeless in parking lot. Sign at front desk warned of increased car breakins in the area. We left after one night to stay somewhere else.

We had a king room for one night prior to a medical appointment in the area. The rate was amazing, and the room very comforting. Handicap accessible was also appreciated.
The property is neat, but looked a little dated.
There was a nice selection of restaurants within walking distance, and we took advantage. Air conditioner would not maintain fan on, but cooled adequately for our needs. We will definitely plan another stay for my next appointment.

Overall just an average hotel.
Upon arrival, we parked next to an abandoned vehicle. Tires flat, plates expired over 4 years, looked like someone was living in it.
Check in was fast and courteous.
Hallways to rooms are worn and stained and dirty.
Elevator sounded like it was ready to crash to the floor.
The room was very dated and worn. Don’t even want to know how that many scratches get into a head board.
The layout of the room is very cramped. They have an oversized sofa that takes up all the space.
It met its purpose in a quick place to stay. Expected a little more up keep and no abandoned vehicles for a Marriott brand. But it is what it is.

My next time in Durham I will stay somewhere else. The people were friendly but the facility was frayed. I was expecting breakfast but that was on me. No free breakfast was offered or advertised, however is it really necessary to charge guests over $4 for a small cup of coffee, no refills. One small bottle of, \"Orange juice\" almost $5? They seemed to have, \"low-balled\", the price to grab you after the fact.
House keeping was non-existent. We stayed four nights and did not get a re-fresh once. Additional towels were offered, \"on-request\", only. With so much competition out there it seems, to me, that they would offer more.
Next time I travel I will seek out a facility that seems to welcome me, not one that wants to take me! Just my opinion.

It was a great experience especially from the staff. The barista was exceptionally pleasant and warm hearted each morning. The only complaint I would have was in regard to our bedsheets not being changed daily. Otherwise, we really enjoyed our short stay and look forward to coming back soon!

The staff at the coffee shop were friendly.
It was clean-ish mostly. Bathroom looked fine, but other things were dirty, like the headboard of the bed the doors in the elevators were gross.
Housekeeping is every other day.

The beds are HORRENDOUS! They're Thin, I could feel the metal springs. So I won't be staying again.

Spouse and I stayed two nights for a golf tournament. Very convenient and safe feeling location. Some updates in progress, but a little worn in places. Starbucks location in lobby during breakfast hours and associate was very nice, However , with only one person working it, there was some delay in getting breakfast.

Courtyard by Marriott in Durham is a comfortable stay, works for its price range. Nothing to get excited about or really to complain about. When we checked in, we found the bathtub wasn't draining well; took them a day to fix it, but they did. Pool looked nice!

Carpets throughout were stained, sheers in room were torn and room very tired. Clean but in need up updating. Disappointing overall for the price of the room. Hotel is close to Duke and we did find a great place to eat. Try Local 22 Kitchen & Bar. Very good restaurant, reasonably priced nice atmosphere. Would have chosen a different hotel if condition was known ahead of time.

Lobby was nice and inviting. The registration staff were pleasant. We were there for my son’s MBA graduation and they had treat bags for the graduation guests. 😁 The hotel room was clean The decor was a little dated but not terribly. Toilet was constantly running but we were so busy there was no time to report it. Breakfast was limited and according to my son “Meh” so we got Dunkin Donuts. Checkout was effortless.

We arrived at 6:45 pm and they said there was no room available as they were still cleaning. My wife has health issues and I said I need a room. I said I would take a lesser room just to have one. When we got to the room it hadn’t been cleaned yet and smelled of weed. They gave us another room and it was 75 degrees in there and the A/C didn’t work. We had to wait in our vehicle for almost an hour until there was a room clean and suitable. Staff apologized and said they only had 1 person there to clean for the day and they were behind. Others were still waiting after us. It was 2 hrs after arrival before we could settle in. There was no complementary breakfast and only coffee available was what you could make in your room in the mini coffee maker.

Delightful environment, great staff, great cookies. HOWEVER, the smell of pot permeated the 4th floor and elevator. In a property that makes clear it’s no smoking policy, I would have thought that included pot. Our room smelled gross.

Did not like the fact that my room had a sliding glass door that opened straight to the back yard, very unsafe for a woman traveling alone. Also was under the impression a free breakfast was included with the reservation, which I was denied at the bistro. The attendee could not make change for a $20 bill and the credit card machine wasn't working. I left hungry because I'd already checked out of my single nights stay. The lady at the register at least took pity on me and gave me a free cup of coffee.

We stayed at this hotel twice on our way south and back. The first time was not good. The toilet was very low to the ground which was difficult for us as we are in our 80s. There was no handsoap at the sink so we had to reach across the tub to the body wash every time we needed to wash our hands. The second time we asked for an accessible room which solved the toilet problem and there was soap.

The facility was very good. Service was very poor. The desk staff was very poor. She was talking to someone on the phone - about his upcoming stay on SPEAKER. She never looked up as we were checking out. So we just left our keys and left. No complimentary coffee in AM. There was someone sitting in the lobby that morning that just looked up at me and said “The service here is terrible”.
