“Love the location”
+Awesome place to stay. Walking distance to fabulous places to eat. You are right beside DPAC and Durham bulls baseball, also near Carolina theater as well. Lots of food options bars and hangouts.
−Didn't have anything bad to say.

+Everybody was friendly place was clean super organized. Check-in was smooth checkout with smooth food and beverages were good. The chef that was running the kitchen or the restaurant was really awesome. He was friendly. He'll take our order even though he was super busy. The Bartender made the most magnificent margarita. I mean, it was really great. He was fairly friendly once I was friendly. But very proficient very efficient, however and I don't have a concern with what he was wearing. I have a concern with the fact that it wasn't in good repair is closed and appear to be clean. He didn't appear to be dressed very professionally. I didn't have any concerns that he seemed to be dressed in clothes and in a style that made him feel comfortable and unique. I didn't have a problem with that. I had a problem with he just looked very well put together hair, combed shirt, clean, perhaps tucked in jeans that weren't super worn. I would've just like to have seen them be a little bit neater.

“We would stay here again. Great location!”
+The location was excellent. We were there for an event at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park. We could see the park from our room, so walking to the event was a bonus. Noticed other restaurants in the immediate area as well. We didn’t adventure much as we were just there for the one night. Would choose again for any events in that area. Room was clean and spacious for 4 of us. Beds comfortable. Pool table in the lounge was a plus. Food service on-site was nice after coming in late from event. Grabbed snacks and hot cookies before heading up. Kitchen offered pizza & other food too. Staff was friendly.
−We arrived in the room and the TV was not working. Tried to call the front desk from the room phone & that didn’t seem to work either. There was a cleaner next door who didn’t speak English, but was able to communicate enough for her to call her manager who spoke some English and called the maintenance guy. He quickly determined the issue -cable not connected & had to go through the drawers to reconnect. Despite language barrier the staff I was in contact with responded within a timely manner. The pool was out of service, which was a disappointment for the 2 teen boys with us. They were looking forward to swimming. When I asked about it I was told it was being cleaned… I guess that takes all day/night. Shower pressure is low. Not that big of a deal, but a train did come through the area early morning blowing the whistle. We are early risers anyway. Not sure if that is an everyday occurrence.

“Great Location”
+The staff was very nice and seemed genuinely happy to be there. Unfortunately the weekend we were there, the pool was closed for service. The location is great if you are going to an event at the Performing Arts Center or a baseball game. The room was comfortable, though could use some extra hooks in the bathroom. It can be noisy due to events in the area AND a train comes through regularly. It was not a detraction for us personally, but is definitely something to be aware of. The dining situation in the hotel itself was a bit disappointing. There is a bar and a small "grab and go" kind of "restaurant. You could order some special meals available during mealtimes, it was not a "restaurant" in the typical expectations of a restaurant. That being said, there are tons of options within minutes of the hotel walking. Hotel parking is $15/night and is in an attached parking garage. Value for the money - Pretty good. The location is the absolute best for me because we didn't have to drive anywhere to attend the event and that saved so much time. The atmosphere overall is pleasant and things are clean.

+Great proximity to DPAC and able to see fireworks from stadium while lounging by the pool!
−When I needed to stay an additional night, staff weren't particularly empathetic (I was suffering from a terrible stomach virus) or helpful. That was disappointing, since up until that moment, staff had been wonderful.

“Had a wonderful stay. Would definitely use this hotel again for future visits.”
+Loved how close it was to places to eat. Also very convenient when going to see a program at DPAC.
−one elevator didnt work the night of the show and took for ever to get off of the 2nd floor to the lobby. Also how much the rooms echo'd. I was charged for parking but the parking deck was open the whole time without having to pay if you were just visiting the area.
