This hotel is our favorite pet-friendly hotel in downtown Durham. During this last visit, I had inadvertently double booked myself a room directly with the hotel and on Expedia. The check-in host was so kind to cancel the room booked directly with the hotel without penalties. I certainly was not expecting that and figured I'd be paying for two rooms due to my oversight. Thank you 21c hotel. That made my day, and I will certainly return.

The food options are good, but extremely limited. The museum on the premises is very cool. The staff are extremely nice. The only minor complaint is the room could've been cleaner, and updated televisions and phones wouldn't be a bad idea, and room service would be absolutely amazing!

The staff was very welcoming and professional. The location was great in terms of navigating downtown. Howeve the room was just average. It took a significant amount of time for the water to warm in the shower. I realize this. An be an issue in older buildings, so a heads up would have been helpful so we could have avoided cold showers. As an older individual having brighter lighting in the room would also be beneficial.

We arrived at 3pm after a 4 1/2 hour drive and was told it would be an hour but our room wasn’t ready until 5; yet the staff felt comfortable with checking everyone else in even though they arrived well after me. We were given an “upgrade” but the room’s lights didn’t work and the musty odor was atrocious! Racial inequality at its best! I’LL NEVER STAY THERE AGAIN!
