6/10 Good

The room temperature doesn’t go over 70F even when it was set to 74F. I didn’t like. Cold room temperature kept me awake all through the night

I am thankful for the very hospitable staff that I encountered at the hotel. Everyone was smiling at the front desk every time I passed by.

8/10 Very good

Wasteful shower design

The room was clean and comfortable and the gym was good. However, I gave the hotel 3 stars because the shower lets out so much water that it is actually wasting water. There's no door for the shower, so when you bathe, the water streams out of the shower and onto the bathroom floor. So much water streams out that I had to place the bathmat 12 inches away from the shower entrance so that it wouldn't get wet.

Nice clean room,good breakfast and great staff.
Jackson, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

It smelled musky and like urine in our room and much of the facility just smelled like cleaning supplies. The wifi wasn’t great in the room. The location is decently close to Duke, but the immediate area is at a street intersection right by a gas station. There was plenty of parking for pay by mobile 15$.

Amazing room, just skip the breakfast

The room itself is exceptional and perfect for a business stay or writing retreat, especially as the kitchen allows you to cook and stay focused on work without having to leave the room. Location is also great if you do want to explore restaurants and Duke. Only complaint is that their breakfast is mediocre at best.

Love it

The hotel was very nice. Customer service was good. The room was very clean and up to date.
Milton, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Went to visit my daughter who is attending Duke. Great place to stay. Rooms were nice and clean. Very comfortable. The bar has signs for hours that were not accurate. A few night I was there I was told staff left “because it was slow”. This was at 7:00 at night. Seemed weird.
Christine, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

Property under construction so super noisy all day.
Deborah, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Long drive to have my room given away.

After confirming my stay with the Residence Inn Durham by checking in online, then email exchange just hours before my arrival stating “I am on my way and would be there in 2hrs”- then the hotel acknowledging that check in… I got to the front desk at 6:10pm to find out I no longer had a room and was being re-booked at a different, lesser quality hotel 10 mins away. (After driving 9hrs to get there). Utterly ridiculous and I’ll never book a room with them again.
Michael, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Didn't like all the noisy remodeling going on.
Paul, 1-night trip

"Refresh the room" failed

Good location and clean property. However, although requested to clean the room every other day, as they suggest, we have the room "refreshed" only one time in a 7-day stay
Rafael, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

FYI: parking costs

Nice place. Parking is NOT free despite Hotels.com saying it is. Desk clerk said Hotels.com has been contacted numerous times to delete reference to free parking. Website says parking costs $12/day. Pool is small but looks nice. Breakfast is nicer than most hotels provide.
Eileen, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I bought travel insurance for the first time ever from Expedia thinking it would cover any schedule changes I had. I let Expedia know well before the last day of my trip that I wanted to cancel my 3rd night and they said it was too late and I was charged anyway. Expedia is blaming the hotel but Expedia was where I paid for the hotel and the insurance so this has nothing to do with the hotel. Really disappointed with Expedia but the hotel was great.
Jill, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

Disappointing for the high price paid

Room wasn’t ready for 3pm checkin. Was given a queen room instead of the king we reserved so had to request the change to what was paid for. Toilet didn’t flush and all rooms were booked so stuck in a room without an operational toilet. Had to use the general facilities on the main hotel floor.
Kristen, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Great location, clean room, disappointing service

I was visiting Durham to drop my daughter off for a 2-week camp. I thought Residence Inn would be perfect as we had been traveling for a few weeks and needed to prepare for her dropoff - laundry, ironing, strategic packing, etc. Sadly, things that should have been a convenience ended up a nuisance. At check-in we were told continental breakfast was served 7-10. We arrived at 9 and two employees were gathering the food and taking it to the kitchen. They told us breakfast was over. They were quite rude and more concerned with finishing their task quickly rather than accommodating a guest. When we mentioned the time we were given at check-in they dismissed us and said they had a job to do. Other interactions were small but added up to an overall frustrating experience. The fee for laundry was listed on a card in the room. We secured enough quarters only to get there and realize the actual cost was higher. Had to make another trip for quarters. Housekeeping knocked on our door at 8am despite having the 'do not disturb' hanger out. They came back again at 10. When we went to get our laundry around 10:30 we came back to the room and our key no longer worked requiring another trip to the front desk. Although check out wasn't until noon, housekeeping came back at 11:50 and told us we would be charged late checkout if we didn't leave. Again, all small interactions, but it left us feeling as if staff were more concerned with getting rid of us rather than our experience there.

Staff was amazing! Breakfast had so many options, quiche, waffles, fresh fruit, sausage, hard boiled eggs…. Room was very clean. Small market store in lobby. Lobby area with a tv and tons of seating. Nice workout room. But again, staff was incredible!
