I guess this would be a "middle of the road" review. Hotel is clean, comfortable but facilities/rooms are dated and looks like it is badly in need of a refresh.
The hotel is in a convenient location near Duke University and Hospital. Quiet location, about 5 mins off the main "drag" of Durham. Easy parking, lots of space. Lobby is...

We stay at Hiltons all the time so when we travelled to Durham to visit our daughter for Thanksgiving, I did not do much research about this hotel. I should have. The good : The lobby is lovely and so are the staff .
The bad: Although the hotel seemed quite empty, we were assigned the very last room on...

We saw this hotel as we traveled north on I-85, so it was a welcome sight after many hours on the road. The room was large, the bed most comfortable, and we had a great sleep. Clean room and very nice amenities. The parking lot is easy to access.

We were visiting Duke, and chose the Hilton after the Washington Duke was full. The Hilton was my next choice because they had room service, a must for me. I was happy to see the 99% Sanitation certificate afer hearing that Durham is on "the list" for highest bedbug infestations. Gross. I had no issues with the cleanliness of the...

Unfamiliar with the area we booked this Hilton. We booked a room with two queen beds, arrived and were told we wouldn't be able to check for several hours. The Duke football team was staying on our floor and the room had one double bed. The desk reported that we had booked a "queen suite" a reference to the mini...

Staff very helpful, but the entire hotel needs updating. Main restaurant was closed, room was dull. Alcove suite did not have the separator doors as per the web site. Difficult to find a working electrical outlet for computer - were loose & some not working. Front office manager contended renovation to start in Nov 2011. Hope so.

We had a last minute decision to stay at a hotel in Durham and found this hotel. From the moment we walked into the lobby I was impressed. The area was spotless! We go to the front desk and Eva was there. She assisted us with everything we needed and she had the answer to every question we asked.
We...

Hotel is at an excellent location for visiting Duke University. Found the staff to be extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Free shuttle bus service is excellent for trips to Duke again with very friendly drivers. The room as well as bathroom were spotless and the bed comfortable. Like other reviews, I found the room to be noisy due to the AC...

Staying at the HIlton was not one of our best hotel experiences. We arrived hungry for lunch and were directed to the restaurant which was empty of guests and staff. The front desk was unaware it was closed. The a/c clunked on and off all night and the plumbing in the bathroom kept running after each toilet flush. It was...

Stayed here while in Durham on business - didn't pick this one on my own as the company travel department booked the trip.
First the good:
The staff was friendly - I'm not a very demanding guest, so can only judge by the check in, check out and multiple passes through the lobby. Always found a smile and hello.
The...
