Enjoyed the convenience of being only less than a 10 minute walk from DPAC for a reasonable rate.

Clean, good service, and very convenient location - we walked to a concert at Carolina Theater. Room was nice but a little odd in that it opened up to pool area like a motel room. Still secure but unexpected.

Loved this hotel. Love the vibe around the lobby, love the pool area bar, LOVED my yummy breakfast burrito at the bar. The location is great and walkable. There is parking just around the corner at the Corcoran St garage that will save you $$. Overall a great choice.

Funky, mid-century modern, boutique hotel located close to DPAC and many restaurant options. Room was low-key with average amenities but the bed was soft and the noise level was low. Slept like a baby! Staff was super-friendly and helpful. Breakfast options were a bit vague and not available in advance. No coffee in room??? Overall a fine night's stay.

Cool new hotel in a cool area of Durham but not a great stay. There was no internet/TV service, the thermostat reset itself in the middle of the night and we roasted all night long, and breakfast in the lobby cafe took almost 45 minutes to be served.

Great clean space with impeccable service. Bathroom is set up weirdly though. Barn doors shouldn't be bathroom doors
