Only complaint is that the AC in the room smells awfully moldy. They need to have their HVAC serviced. Otherwise, very quiet and clean.

This is a wonderful property and we enjoyed our stay. The only reason we gave it a 3/5 overall, is because they surge priced or the Duke Reunion window and it was quite expensive for what we received (ie. 2 nights for a double occupancy was $500/night and this is not a $500/night style hotel).

Our three night stay was perfect! On Friday morning, I ordered a sweet potato hash for breakfast that was absolutely delicious! The breakfast bar on the weekend was great as well! The staff (front desk, restaurant, valet, and housekeeping) was excellent!

We absolutely loved this hotel. We stayed here for my daughter's dance event. It was so nice to stay on the property of the event. This area is so nice and there is so much to do. We were so surprised to find an art festival within walking distance and a farmer's market. The view from the room was great- we could see another festival take place. The breakfast was good and a reasonable price too. We will be back for sure.

The lights in the bathroom around the mirror intermittently flashed ....very annoying.

The lighting in the actual room was TERRIBLE. Actual visibility was restricted and I had to move the only lamp in the room - by an uncomfortable/small armchair around so I could read at the desk or in bed.
I requested -- and paid for -- a king sized bed ..... but had 2 uncomfortable doubles.
Every hotel I stay in these days provides a free bottle of water in the room. This hotel charges $5 a bottle

The door to room 311 allowed us to enter but when I went to exit it wouldn’t open. We were literally trapped in the room. A gentleman from engineering came who was super nice worked diligently to get the door open. After about 15 mins the door was opened. They switched to room 309. As we were getting settled in there I noticed the heat was blowing cold air on a cold night. Once again I called downstairs they tried to tell me it takes a while for the heat to kick in but I was just next door and that wasn’t the case. The desk clerked notified the nice engineer once again who came with a heater for back up although he was able to get the room heat going. At check out I give my ticket to the valet gentleman who comes back after 20 minutes and tells me my doors to my car “won’t unlock” I’m like sir go get my car please. He gets a younger gentleman to come assist him and like magic my car pulls up. The other gentleman didn’t know how to work the key fob. Then on top of that I booked and paid through Expedia. When i got to the hotels I thought I was giving my card for incidentals but nope they charged me for the total price of the room again. I paid for the room on the Expedia side and at the desk. I had to get a gentleman by the name of Chris to sort it out for me. He was super nice. On top of that they billed me for incidentals when I’m the one with multiple incidents and no tried to compensate until i spoke to Chris. This stay was a nightmare and I will never book here again.

Th AC didn’t work, they sent someone up and then offered a fan. They had no room service that evening and a limited menu. Drilling started at 10am so we left prior. I’ll never stay at that hotel again. I’ll avoid Marriot if possible.

The hotels.com booking was not registered when I arrived at the hotel, so I had to wait ~30 minutes before I could check in. The attendant had to manually put the booking together. The hotel was under construction in parts and in the hallway where my room was located, so that was a nuisance. I had to park a car, which was expensive for the location and wasn't well advertised. Bartender was great.

Second Stop, First-Class Service

This was the second stop on my itinerary, and after a truly awful experience at the previous hotel, checking in to the Marriott Durham City Center was a breath of fresh air. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and taken care of.

A special thank you to the evening front desk staff he was incredibly kind, efficient, and professional. After a stressful start to my trip, his friendly demeanor and quick check-in process immediately put me at ease. It made a huge difference and set the tone for the rest of my stay. I truly appreciate how he helped turn things around and made this part of the trip completely stress-free.

The entire staff throughout the hotel was friendly and attentive. The amenities were excellent. I especially enjoyed having a Starbucks on-site for a convenient morning coffee. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained.

Overall, my experience here was top-notch. Thank you again to the team, especially the evening front desk associate, for your kindness and professionalism. I highly recommend this hotel and will absolutely stay again when I’m in the area.

Great Hotel in Walking Distance to DPAC

We stayed 1 night to see a concert at the DPAC. The hotel was in an easy walking distance, and right across from a main square where there were boutiques, places to eat, and general local activity. We found the area to be clean, safe, and interesting to spend time before our concert.

The hotel was great - clean, quiet, and great breakfast. Would definitely stay here again.

We were double charged for our stay. I was told they would remove the charge but they have not. I paid in advance prior to checking in and when my gf arrived they charged her card then tried to tell me I was only charged once. I’m sure mistakes happen but this one was uncalled for and I’m still waiting on them to remove one of the charges.

I made the drive to Durham so I could see a show at the Durham performing arts center. The Marriott is very close. The hotel itself is clean and well cared for. My room was perfect. The thing that set this experience apart from a lot of other experience I have had was the employees. Every member I interacted with from the valet when I arrived, the women at the desk, a woman I spoke with in the bar to find out where I could get something to eat because it was late. Everyone without exception was so kind to me. I could not have had a better experience. You could have the most beautiful hotel in the world and one employee could spoil your stay. The employees at this property are worth their weight and gold.

The physical plant itself is clean, and the decor is awesome! The bonus--the staff is very professional and friendly. Everyone I encountered asked what they could do to make our stay better. I would higly recommend this property to anyone who needs a good hotel in a safe neighborhood. Again, an excellent location!!

Clearly a malfunctioning toilet is acceptable.

I booked a room for my wife and daughter. Upon arrival, and check-in, they discovered a malfunctioning toilet. After reporting the issue to the staff an engineer was dispatched and reported the issue as fixed which was not the case. My wife repeatedly reported the recurring issue to the staff, to no avail. My family had to manually fill the toilet tank with water using a cup before each use in order to flush. Needless to say we will not be staying in this establishment again.
