• The bellmen and front desk staff were friendly, efficient, and professional. Really appreciated after a long day of traveling.
• We had a wonderful two evenings here.

“The hotel is conveniently located. The housekeeper did extra special little things to give our room the personal touch, like lining up my hair combs. Loved that! The bellman named Brian (I believe) went beyond the realm of all expectations with his welcoming smile and helpfulness.”

• The rooms had been updated and were very nice.
• Prices in the bar were too high.

“We are pleasure travelers and do not travel more than 3 times a year. The hotel staff we encountered was some of the best we have ever had. So friendly and very accommodating. Would definitely recommend this hotel to a friend.”

• The room was very inviting. I could also hook my I-Pod up to the television and enjoy my music.
• The fact that I tell the bellhop that I don't need help and he insists that he "lend a hand."

“The hotel is very nice and very accommodating. I appreciate the opportunity to stay there every now and then because my wedding reception was held there and it brings back great memories!”

• The hotel is fairly convenient for access to Duke University.
• My room had apparently just been refurbished; because I was short some necessities.

“This hotel, located in Downtown Durham, is pretty much what you'd expect of a Marriott. It's nice, but the parking is across the street and not covered. I think my stay was anomalous, as I checked in late at night and got a room that was disability-friendly, which had apparently just been redone, since the fold-down seat in the shower still had a new tag on it. It's a pretty nice place but not in a very interesting area, as Downtown Durham is dead at night.”

• Clean and friendly and helpful staff.
• Location in center of Durham, didn't feel safe.

“Hotel itself was lovely but location in center of Durham not so great for me as a single woman traveling alone. Also, a hassle getting in and out of the city.”

• The hotel was very attractive with great amenities. It was also conveniently located. It also had a great restaurant.
• The hotel does not have adequate parking. I am disabled and would have had to park a distance from the hotel if I had not chosen valet parking.

“The Durham Marriot is a wonderful place to stay while traveling for business or pleasure. I would recommend this hotel to folks visiting the Durham area.”

• It was convenient to my needs and the staff was very helpful.
• There wasn't much to do in the vicinity of the hotel.

“This hotel is as far as I know the only one in Downtown Durham, because I required lodging close to the Downtown area, this was an obvious choice. During my stay there was ongoing construction in the hotel. This affected me little, their guest laundry facilities were temporarily closed. The extremely helpful staff offered to drive me to the closest Laundromat.”

• Everything but one thing.
• The guy at the front desk.

“The hotel was really nice, not that crowded and you get free wireless internet service. The room was clean. However, the guy at the front desk gave us a double saying they were out of all king size bed guestrooms when I requested for a king size bed. Knowing the hotel was not fully booked it was near empty), it really pissed me off. Staying at a double bed guestroom with my girlfriend was not pleasant at all. The room was on the second floor right next to the fitness gym, great. I believe the guy intentionally did that to screw me. So be careful when requesting for a room. all the other staffs were friendly.”
