It was clear, when I stepped into our room, that it had recently been renovated. The decor was beautiful with a contemporary design. It was also very clean and comfortable. The towels were large and soft. The lobby of the hotel is very attractive and inviting and the staff was friendly and accommodating.

The location is close to the freeway and fine if one has a car. Otherwise, one has to rely on the hotel shuttle or a taxi to go just about anywhere.

We stayed here for 4 might durning a family wedding. This hotel was very clean the staff always made sure our every need was met. The continental breakfast was extensive and for $5.00 more a day you could upgrade to the full breakfast. Great deal. The food was good as well. Each night the gave us vouchers that allowed us to purchase happy hour drinks and apps. This was also an added bonus. We enjoyed relaxing at the pool, as well as..... Staying with the VIP team Duke! The entire team stayed there before a local game. Beds were very comfortable and the rooms were very clean and spacious.

Stayed here for 1 night while attending a local show at the Common Ground Theater. The room was larger than most I have stayed in and the beds were very comfortable. The room has an air cleaner to sanitize the air which gave the room a "fresh" smell. The linens and towels were soft and lush, the towels were the appropriate size, i.e. bath sheets for the shower. After the performance we went to the group of us came back to the lobby bar for a few drinks. The lobby had comfortable seating and reasonable priced drinks. We really enjoyed our stay and would stay there if we are even in Durham again. This was also a "Free Night" using Hilton Points so I did not have to pay for the room, and do not know what the room charge would have been.

I've stayed here a few times - all were so-so experiences.

they have a lot of construction underway - it's loud. It's very loud. It's louder than you think it is going to be,.It may be ending soon - but I'd make sure before I stayed there again.

The breakfast is not really what you would expect at a Hilton. It's not awful - just like everything else here - close but no cigar. There is no HHonors lounge, no real HHonors floor - it just really doesn't feel like a Hilton.

The rooms are q bit dark for my tastes - low wattage light bulbs to save energy. If you can get a suite that is a much better option. The suites tend to be quieter.
