The hotel is ideally located just outside the Durham historic center, making it convenient to explore all the sights of Durham. The rooms are comfortable and come with really thick curtains for a great night's sleep. The service, particularly housekeeping, was excellent. However, the dining options, though with some healthy and vegetarian choices, lacked variety. The hotel's facilities are well-maintained and offer a good value for money experience.
