The Durham Hotel

8/10 Good

"They properly was really nice and I really like the decor and amenities. We were disappointed, however to learn upon arrival that they rooftop restaurant was closed for a private function.

100 Year-Old Historic Brick 2BR Loft -Large Patio1

8/10 Good

"What a wonderful place to stay. We stayed here while my husband had surgery at Duke. It was less than 3 miles away from the hospital. Very convenient. It was very clean, stocked wonderfully, and everything we needed. The communication was fast and easy with the owners. I would stay here again"

Charming 4BR Historic Home near Downtown & Duke, Spacious & Stylish

10/10 Excellent

"Great place, exactly as described. It’s an older house but has what you need for a very nice stay. Plenty of space, both inside and out, along with easy communication with the owner."

Spacious 4BD - Sleeps 10 - Movie Night & BBQ

10/10 Excellent

"Walkable to the west end side of Durham! There is some highway noise, but overall a quaint and comfortable stay. The layout of the home really allowed for our larger party to have their own comfortable, separate spaces. Really loved the decor & wished we could’ve stayed longer to enjoy the patio amenities more!"

Walk to Duke Campus! 3 Bedroom in Trinity Park!

10/10 Excellent

"Owners got back to me quickly every time I had a question and sent me clear directions. Nothing spanky new, but the openness and size of the rooms is great, and the beds were comfortable. Wonderful arriving to: closet full of towels, lots of toilet paper, coffee and filters, shampoo, laundry detergent, even lots of ice! One suggestion: when returning to the house, put into the GPS the address of the alley behind the house where you park, and not the house street address. The area is nice for walking. Thanks for a lovely stay."
