We recently stayed at the Durham Marriott for a wedding. We were there three nights and enjoyed our stay overall. Clean rooms, comfortable beds, nice views. No breakfast included, but parking was free, so that is a nice bonus. It is a nice, central location, so you can walk to many restaurants, bars, etc. My only issue was that when... More

What a wonderful hotel for business. Clean rooms with prompt housekeeping and good hot water. This hotel lobby is designed to welcome large groups. There are meeting rooms and public space to hols small conventions or medium size meetings. The business center is available for computer and printing needs, and room WiFi is free.

This Marriott did not meet my expectation. The staff was not particularly welcoming or accommodating. The coffee was not drinkable, so I had to go to a local coffee house each morning for a decent cup of coffee. The saving quality here was the room cleanliness.

Giving this place two thumbs up. We went there for my son's wedding and he had arranged a block of rooms at a discount (which does help my liking the place).

It was like a Seinfeld sketch. I made the reservation about a month ago. I drove 3 hours arriving to be told that there was no room for me. That's what a reservation guarantees though.
