This is the place to stay
The staff was great. Ezra at the desk was a complete pro. They were dealing with a minor issue the day we checked in but the whole staff made it a non issue. Location is perfect, nice sized rooms and dont miss the rooftop for a cocktail and some small bites.

One of the Best
One of the best stays we've had anywhere. The hotel staff were helpful and friendly (getting us a bottle of champagne when they found out it was our anniversary), and the room was great. Thanks for a great stay.

Durham Bullls Game
My wife and I really enjoyed our stay. Front desk check in was very smooth. The front desk clerk was very helpful with info about the hotel and also provided me the rain out number for the Durham Bulls baseball game. Only knock I had was the room didnt get as cold as I'd like. Wasn't miserably hot just not as cold as it should be

Good hotel right in downtown. Cool architecture. Splendid public spaces; lobby and rooftop. Large room, pretty spare. Serious about their coffee. Would have been nice if staff had assisted us unloading to check in during a torrential downpour. Several staff standing around inside. No one assisted. Had to come in to borrow umbrella.

Hotel was great. We ended up in the elevator somehow with two of Durhams wannabe thugs. (2 mouthy women) coming from the rooftop bar. That wanted to get smart , we laughed it off but for the money shouldn’t have to deal with the rif raf.

Overnight stay for a concert.
Came for a concert at the Carolina Theater & it was literally a 5 minute walk. Great minimalist boutique hotel. Spacious room. Lobby had a cool mid-century feel. Very friendly staff. Fun rooftop bar with cool views. Would definitely stay here again.

It was a good night's stay. The food in the cafe was excellent for dinner, the service attentive. A minor problem was addressed swiftly and well. We will return.
