What Guests Are Saying
“Room was as we’d expect for this brand. Quiet and clean. Comfortable beds (regular and sofa). Friendly staff. My 89 yr old folks had an accessible suite room which was wonderful for their mobility needs. It was two rooms combine, one the bedroom and accessible bathroom and the second with the sofa bed and a large counter area and regular bathroom.” — Jean G., 5 stars
“I came to the hotel with my family . It was a good size and the front desk gave us connecting rooms. The carpets are very dirty in the hallway and need to be cleaned” — Jonathan L., 5 stars

What guests are saying about Courtyard Durham Near Duke University.
"I arrived for my stay after a long drive and Tianna at the front desk was super welcoming and accommodating. She was so kind and made sure the room was good when I came back down to the lobby. At the bistro Dominic was super quick, kind, and helpful as well. He delivered our food to the table and made sure we had everything we needed for our meal. The lobby of this hotel was decorated for Christmas and it even included a hot chocolate bar. For service. I would give this hotel 5 stars as their staff was extremely helpful and kind. This hotel was a perfect stop on my road trip, I would definitely stay here again."

I love the kidney bean shaped sleeper sofa. Comfortable bed with an lovely weighted comforter that puts you right to sleep. Good water pressure in the shower w hot water. Nice gym."
