great spots for city walks and delicious eats nearby

I really enjoyed being just a few steps from Pizzeria Toro and the American Tobacco Historic District, which made exploring and grabbing a delicious meal super easy during my stay. the staff were also incredibly nice and helpful throughout my two nights here, really making me feel welcome and well taken care of.

I really enjoyed my stay with my family. the beds were super comfortable, and we loved the nice restaurant and bar area for dinner. There was a lovely pool for fun and a free laundry option that came in handy for us. The only downside was the small parking situation, but it wasn't a deal-breaker for us. 😊

The view from our corner room was lovely! We also enjoyed the easy access to local attractions and the convenient on-site restaurant. One highlight was the responsive room service—our snacks arrived promptly and just as we ordered.

It was just a fine choice for a fleeting moment in Durham with value for price. Make sure to double-check your reservation details ahead of time.

Had a great time with friends! We visited Duke University and the Museum of Life and Science, both super close. The staff was friendly, and our room was cozy after a long day of exploring. Just a heads up, breakfast isn’t complimentary, so plan for that. Overall, a solid spot to enjoy some downtime.

I stayed at the Marriott for two nights on a business trip and had a great experience. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the hotel was quiet, allowing for a restful sleep. The staff were attentive and responsive to requests, especially the front desk, who ensured I had everything I needed for my work.

There were some issues with the room's maintenance.

Visited the area to explore local attractions, and it was a wonderful experience! The staff were incredibly attentive, ensuring I had what I needed for my stay. I also loved the cozy room, which provided a perfect retreat after a day of exploring. However, I wish the breakfast options were more diverse.

The breakfast selection featured fresh fruits, flavorful pancakes, and tasty bacon, standing out among hotel buffets. Room comfort was commendable with cozy bedding and a clean, modern design. However, the translucent bathroom door can compromise privacy, especially for guests sharing a room. Additionally, there’s no recycling bin, which is surprising given the hotel’s location in a progressive area.

Clean, modern rooms. Staff were friendly and helpful. Valet parking is pricey. Noisy doors in the hallways. Reasonable bike rentals available nearby.

Charming, Comfortable, Convenient

I absolutely loved my stay! The recently renovated room I had was stunning and provided a cozy retreat with plenty of natural light. Plus, the on-site restaurant served delicious food, and I was especially impressed with how prompt the room service was, my snacks arrived just when I needed them.

can recommend 😊❤️

The Durham Marriott City Center features a beautifully decorated lobby that exudes modern charm, with accessible seating areas perfect for seniors. Staff were attentive, ensuring I had comfort during my stay and helping me navigate the hotel easily.

Improved breakfast options would be appreciated.

A Relaxing Urban Escape

Had a delightful two-night stay with a spacious room, where I admired the lovely city view. The breakfast staff, particularly Betty, provided exceptional service, making us feel right at home. Pro tip, try the local restaurants nearby for even more delicious meals!

Plus, that local gem, Pizzeria Toro, had pies that were pure fire. Can't forget about the Durham vibe—there’s always something to do nearby!

However, I did hit a snag with breakfast surprises and some disorganized service—it felt a bit chaotic. Plus, the dining options weren't all that remarkable, leaving me wanting more.
