“Great Stay”

Reviewed May 22, 2013 NEW

On a recent trip (May 2013) to Durham for a family wedding we stayed at this hotel. This was our second time (Oct. 2012 for concert) at this Marriot. Both times we were greeted at the curb by the very helpful door persons. Although the entrance parking area can get crowded, the free parking lot is across the street, unloading... More

“Very friendly and helpful staff.”

Reviewed May 20, 2013 NEW

We stayed at the Marriott for 3 nights and stayed in a king room on the 7th floor. The room was very spacious and the bed comfortable, though the bathroom was a little on the tight side. Staff were extremely helpful, we had the pleasure of purchasing tickets to the baseball game, and we were driven there in the hotel... More

“Disappointed”

Reviewed May 8, 2013

This Marriott did not meet my expectation. The staff was not particularly welcoming or accommodating. The coffee was not drinkable, so I had to go to a local coffee house each morning for a decent cup of coffee. The saving quality here was the room cleanliness.

Dear guest, Thank you for staying with us and we would like to apologize for not meeting your expectations. I will follow up with our staff on service improvement. I will check the coffee to see what we can do better. And I will also share your compliment with our Housekeeping department on their great job. We will work harder... More

“Downtown Durham Marriott”

Reviewed May 7, 2013

Giving this place two thumbs up. We went there for my son's wedding and he had arranged a block of rooms at a discount (which does help my liking the place). We were booked in a corner room with overlooked the center city area - not that center city is much to rave about. The room was excellent with large... More

“Room Type reserved 3 weeks in advance not available”

It was my husband's Brithday and we had purchased tickets to an event at the Carolina Theatre 3 months in advance.

I knew the concierge reception area... More

“Didn't get to stay here even with a reservation”

Reviewed April 18, 2013 via mobile

It was like a Seinfeld sketch. I made the reservation about a month ago. I drove 3 hours arriving to be told that there was no room for me. That's what a reservation guarantees though. They did put me up for free at another hotel and bought me dinner but it is the principle that when you make a reservation,... More

“Stay Downtown in Durham”

Reviewed April 8, 2013

We like to stay places that allow us to park the car and not move it again until it's time to go home. Concert tickets for DPAC gave us an excuse to stay at this Marriott in the middle of Durham. Like most Marriotts, it's very nice. We had a big room with a nice view. As a bonus, the... More

“The dirtiest little window in the world”

Reviewed March 20, 2013

I signed up for TripAdvisor just to write this review hoping that a little bit of public exposure will push this hotel into cleanliness! What an odd hotel. I checked in and there were three front desk staff talking to each other and no one made eye contact with me standing in front of them until I said something. Bad... More
