Unscripted Durham, Part of JDV by Hyatt

10/10 Excellent

"Convenient"

The Durham Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"One of the best hotels I have ever been to.. period world wide. Nice rooms, modern era decor, great in house restaurant with superb breakfast at reasonable price and coffee bar. Best cortado I ever had. All staff were friendly and super supportive. Parking in lots street or garage within easy walking distance. Many restaurants and bars in the area. Reasonably safe area but there are panhandlers on occasion. Room had adequate closet space, excellent bathroom and shower. Quiet at night. Super comfy bed. I’m a coffee nerd and they offer fresh ground gourmet options brought to your door each morning if you choose the night before. No hotel I’ve ever stayed at offered this. I liked it so much I returned on a return visit to the city. No pool but workout facility. Highly recommended if you travel in the area.,"

COZY SUN FILLED HOME / MODERN VILLA NEAR DOWNTOWN

10/10 Excellent

"What an awesome place to stay. Convenient to many locations, excellent restaurants within a few minutes drive and a comfy, homey place to come home to.The host was easy to communicate with and was very helpful.We will DEFINITELY stay again next time we're in the area."

Modern 4-bedroom house, TV in bedroom,big fence yard, Pet stay free,Lighted yard

8/10 Good

"The house was very nicely updated and large. The rooms were large and the house was very clean. The fenced in backyard was great for the dogs. The owner allowed us a later checkout due to the timing of the baseball game we had our last day, which was extremely helpful. The neighborhood was much more run down than expected, and the sirens often made it hard to sleep."

Duke ~2 miles, Walk to Downtown, Close to NCCU, DBAP, and ATC

10/10 Excellent

"You will love your stay here. If looking for a place that not only convenient to downtown, but also gives you all the feelings of being at home, this is the place for you. Our host was extremely gracious and informative. You will appreciate their knowledge of the area, which will help in maximizing your stay. This home is relaxing and cozy. I would absolutely stay here again."

Tapin7 Oasis

10/10 Excellent

"The house was clean and well stocked. House rules were clearly posted. The beds were comfortable."

Sunny Sage Cottage

10/10 Excellent

"We had an exceptional stay during a challenging time. Our daughter underwent surgery at Duke University Hospital, and this cottage proved invaluable—both as a serene refuge the evening before the procedure and as a restorative retreat during her early recovery. The proximity to the hospital eliminated unnecessary travel during a medically sensitive period, while the thoughtfully appointed interior and meticulous upkeep provided genuine comfort when we needed it most. The aesthetic warmth of the space created an environment conducive to rest and recovery. We would not hesitate to return should circumstances bring us back to the area."
