Everything was fine & clean other than there was no coffee in the reception even early in the morning. I have never been to a hotel that doesn't have free coffee. That was odd. Other than that, the stay was pleasant and the bed was super comfy!

Rooms are fine but a bit dated. There are no USB ports and very few outlets to charge. Good location off the highway and several good restaurants close by to walk to.

Verified review

6/10 Good

The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. However, overall, this property is outdated. The walls are so thin that I was disturbed all night by my next door neighbors' TV, which must have been their option for white noise. Above me was a heavy footed guest who was up early. Hallway noise also echoed into the room. It was a terrible non-sleeping experience.

It was a great experience especially from the staff. The barista was exceptionally pleasant and warm hearted each morning. The only complaint I would have was in regard to our bedsheets not being changed daily. Otherwise, we really enjoyed our short stay and look forward to coming back soon!

Courtyard by Marriott in Durham is a comfortable stay, works for its price range. Nothing to get excited about or really to complain about. When we checked in, we found the bathtub wasn't draining well; took them a day to fix it, but they did. Pool looked nice!
Verified review

4/10 Fair

No clean towels at the pool. Beds we got were hard as rocks. Breakfast available means pay for it. Had I known that I would have never booked our stay here. Thankfully we were only staying one night.
