SpringHill Suites by Marriott Durham City View

8/10 Good

"Staff was kind and helpful. In town for a concert. When we got back to the hotel our door wouldn't open. After two trips down to reprogram our keys, we determined that the lock had died. Front desk attendant, through some trial and error got us back into the room. Greatly appreciated her efforts."

10/10 Excellent

"I will stay here again—it’s so centrally located, walking distance to tons of shops, restaurants, cafes, and small businesses. Everyone was so friendly and it was easy to come and go. My room was very clean. I travel a lot, and was delighted to find soft beds and towels. Really fun spot."
