Hilton Garden Inn Durham/University Medical Center

10/10 Excellent

"Loved our stay. No complaints."

Holiday Inn Express Durham by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were very friendly. From the moment of arrival I was greeted with a smile.The room was clean and cool which was great since it felt like a heat wave was outside. Overall would stay again especially since it’s right by the highway making it easy to come and go. Will say though you can’t hear the cars passing by the only problem was you gotta take a little drive to get some food or even get to a store."

Hilton Durham near Duke University

6/10 Okay

"The bed was comfortable, room was nice. Staff was not helpful. I called earlier to verify a pack n play would be available for my room and when we checked in I was told if there wasn’t one in my room then they didn’t have one for me. There wasn’t one in my room so I called the help desk and they said they can’t do anything about it, pack n plays are in housekeeping and she did not know how to get in there. I then asked for the manager and she told me I could talk him Monday morning at 8am, it was currently Friday evening. Told me I had the best room with two beds and to put my BABY to sleep in the queen bed. It was horrible, I didn’t sleep at all worried about my baby suffocating on the soft bedding, he slept on my chest most of the night. Would not recommend, the staff was very rude and not helpful."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Univ Area Chapel Hill

10/10 Excellent

"We didn't stay in the room too much after our original crashout; However, I can say this... I ALWAYS do a quick tear down of the room just to make sure I'm not going to bring back any little critters that have no place in my things! Everything was crisp white for linens and towels, and the rest of the room was clean & hard surfaces were sanitized! We had just driven 14½ hours straight through - stopping only for fuel and fast meal!! However, not knowing if we were going to be able to pull off that drive, and stay somewhere along the way, I had NOT booked ahead of time! What I am MORE THAN HAPPY to PRAISE is the VERY WONDERFUL, KIND, GEM of a LADY who checked us in at the front desk!!! 5⭐ for her alone She 1st helped us with checking the Hotels "BEST RATE"vs one I had pulled up on Expedia... Not only to get the BEST price, but when we visited 2 years ago, I MEANT to book here, BUT accidentally booked the La Quinta 30 min away!🤦‍♀️ She told me their rate, then I asked here to verify if the Expedia room was the same. It was! It put us in the EXACT ROOM she was looking at. THEN I asked if they had 'Early Check-In' and HALLELUJAH they did!! So, with the money I saved using Expedia, it more than paid for the EARLIEST of early check-in times!! Shortly thereafter we unloaded, washed upstairs & extremely comfortable nestled into our beds for a good long nap. Refreshed and renewed before visiting MY AMAZING FAMILY there for a few nights before heading off to Charlotte."
