Good hotel, right downtown

Beautiful old hotel with amenities such as reliable wi-fi and a good breakfast. The bed was beautiful and the room was clean. The bathroom could use an upgrade: the shower seemed to run either scalding hot or icy cold but nothing between.

Comfortable hotel in the center of Durham

Pros: The hotel is a gentle walk from the center of old Durham. The staff are amazing! The manager was extremely helpful and Jon, the barman, is a character
Cons: There's something that gives the feeling that the hotel is a bit 'old' and needing a bit of a refresher.
Location: Durham is a lovely old town with walk paths in all directions. Of course, the castle and cathedral are but 10 minutes walking distance.
Our stay in the Durham Marriott County Royal Hotel was extremely pleasant. The facilities are a little shabby, but the charm of the place and the staff makes up for it. We had Christmas Dinner lunch at the hotel as well as a couple breakfasts and many pots of tea and coffee. All the food was excellent, and the food staff was very friendly and kind. We also used the pool and took a look at the work out room; both are clean, well lit and well serviced. Our luggage did not arrive with us (actually, only one of three bags ever did arrive) and the reception staff and manager were extremely helpful and worked hard to help us solve the problem.

Cons: Room was too warm, and no thermostat in room. Has to open window for several hours to get the temperature comfortable. (we were in the new wing)
Modern clean rooms and bathrooms, very nice. Excellent location...easy to get to by car, and easy walk into center of town. Also convenient to the University. Breakfast buffet is excellent.
