“Just Average”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed May 16, 2013

A truly average hotel. Not bad or spectacular. Just average. The rooms are worn. The furnishings have seen better days. The carpet shows signs of heavy traffic (commensurate with the convention status of the hotel). One thing that really struck me was the lack of "Sheraton" amenities. In particular, I really like the fact that the Sheraton chain uses a... More

“Nice For Business Conferences”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed May 10, 2013

I traveled to Durham for a conference, hosted at Sheraton Imperial. The hotel is pretty quiet, rooms are nice and pretty spacious. The hotel is not in walking distance to anything, but they do offer shuttle services to a few places if you want to dine off site. The mall is approximately 10-15 minutes away. The hotel room services and... More

“Stayed here attending an annual conference.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 2, 2013

Arrived a day late on the itinerary. The staff was gracious enough to still give me the group rate. Rooms are nice, elevators are very quick and the restaurant was very good for both mornings that I had breakfast. I opted for the buffet, had a nice omelette accompanied by scrambled eggs and other items from the buffet. Service very... More

“Great linens, large rooms.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 28, 2013

For the price, the room was very nice. The bathrooms had been recently updated. I feel like they are understaffed as there was a line at the desk more times than not but the staff was friendly. I liked the fact that there was a fitness center next door with a lap pool. There were also a lot of walking/running... More

“Nice stay...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed April 21, 2013

Came for a quick business trip that was down the road from the hotel. The hotel is also very close to the airport. The building itself is dated, but they did some nice renovations to give it a facelift. The room was a good size and was clean. All of the staff I encountered were helpful. I'd probably take a...

“Nice room--sullen service”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed April 8, 2013

We arrived at 3pm for check-in. We were told rather rudely to sit down and wait, as the room wasn't ready (even though check-in is at 3pm). The front desk was indifferent and unfriendly throughout our stay. The room however, was very nice.

“Standard SPG”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed April 8, 2013 via mobile

Nice place, helpful staff, clean rooms. Keep in mind that the shuttle back to the airport only goes on the hour, so plan accordingly. I also thought is was nice and quiet on the club level. The club lounge gives you only two drinks, and the snacks have always been Herat.

“I stay here for the gym and the location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed March 31, 2013

The gym is the best feature of the hotel. The rooms are fine but dated. The room doors really need adjustment so they don't slam so loudly but otherwise there were no problems during my stay. The restaurant is good for breakfast. The gym next door is available for a small fee and there is so much equipment that there... More

This hotel was close to the office I was visiting, but will look for something better next time. My room was clean and in good repair, but outdated and showing its age. I was surprised that the gym costs extra money, as so many places include the gym these days. (and since my company will not pay for a gym,... More

“The best part of the hotel, you ask? By far, the gym!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 22, 2013

Room: Room is about average, maybe slightly larger than average. Pros: Large work desk area, room looks and feels fresh, newly renovated. Free WiFi in the rooms. Cons: Very flimsy/crappy closet situation. All other furniture feels substantial but closet looks like one you would see at a very cheap apartment on a episode of COPS. Hotel Lobby/Common Areas: Free parking... More
