Stayed at Radisson as close proximity to the centre, walking distance in fact. Stayed in a superior room. Very spacious and clean. Parking at hotel a bonus and didn't need to use car again until we departed. Staff so helpful, whether reception, restaurant or housekeeping. Would definitely stay here again when in Durham.
