We have used this hotel while visiting family in the area for over ten years. After the rash of unpleasant, unsanitary and inconvenient events we experienced this visit we will never stay there again. Did learn an interesting tidbit--it's not truly a Marriott. It's a franchise, and it shows that it is not meeting Courtyard standards. more

I have stayed here numerous times and it is always nice and clean. The pool/workout area is quite nice and the rooms are comfortable. I have zero complaints and will always stay here when I visit Durham. more

I stayed at this hotel during my business travel in February 2009. The hotel was nice and clean, and the hotel staff was very courteous and helpful. Complimentary van service. No complaints! more

I stayed at the Marriott Courtyard, March 28, 2009. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The food service (breakfast) at this hotel is done very well from the presentation, to quality of food and service. The hotel was very clean and most recently been renovated. I would recommend this hotel very highly. more

Great Place!

We've stayed here two or three times on my travels from Virginia to Atlanta. The staff has always been very courteous both to me and to others that I happen to be with. I had stayed here once a few years ago before the current owners bought it. They have made upgrades to the property and the management - it's... more

Stayed one night on our way to Elon University. Very convenient access to I85 - yet there was no highway noise in the room. Check-in was easy and quick. Rooms are very recently renovated and clean. The bed and linens were excellent. Only complaint was that several refrigerators/microwaves were in the hallway, and were still there in the morning, blocking... more

Every year I go to Durham and I stay at a different hotel every time. As usual this Sept/Oct, I went to a program at Duke U. Medical for a month. The location was close to the Duke program and I'm a frequent Marriott customer. This Courtyard has been renovated to the newer decor, but it's already showing signs of... more

Put bluntly, this hotel is a disgusting dump. The room we were assigned on arrival had a ripped duvet cover and pillow cases, which caused us to turn down the bed. When we did so, we discovered a human hair and a spider in the bed. The room's privacy curtains were also broken, so they could not be closed. We... more

Stayed at this hotel for a quick weekend to take my wife to a Duke basketball game. It is conveniently located near Duke University. Also has a nice Mediterranean fusion restaurant named Papa's Grill across the street. (price about $20-30 per entree) Bed was very soft with lots of pillows. We did not try the breakfast buffet at $9 per... more
