I recently stayed here for business and attended a local concert in town. The location is great and is in easy walking distance to local favorite restaurants, and is not far at all from the local airport. The hotel also has a nice bar and restaurant area in the lobby.

This is a typical updated Courtyard. The front desk staff is very helpful and the cafe staff is excellent. Housekeeping was good. I agree with another visitor that the HVAC was loud. The exercise room is well-equipped, and there is an outdoor pool. The location is good for anyone visiting Duke who wants a Marriott. It's a short drive to... More

Marriott does it right. Not too complicated. Provide a large room and keep things fresh and clean. Which they do. Will stay again next time through Durham. Friendly folks, too. Not much more to say but 200 characters are my minimum.

We ended up staying here accidentally. I booked a room without realizing this place was no where near Rt 95. 45 min of driving off of 95 and we finally arrived. Check in was very fast . The staff was courteous and the room was clean. The Bistro was excellent for a quick bite in the morning before our long... More

We stayed at this Marriott only because of its proximity to Duke, and the fact that they said they have Mon-Fri. shuttle service from 7 a.m. - 7 p.m. My room was clean, very tiny bathroom counter, decent bed. The wall's heating/cooling unit sounded like an airplane revving up as it started up every 20-30 minutes - thus, sleeping was... More

I left the Brookwood hotel and came here. Why did I ever betray you oh sweet and faithful Marriott? :) Everyone has been kind and helpful. Clean rooms, beautiful lobby and restaurant. Oh, and AS ALWAYS, the BEDS and PILLOWS are extremely comfortable. :)

We have stayed at this hotel twice (and are about to have a third visit) while attending appointments/having surgery at Duke Univ. Hospital. The hotel is just minutes from the hospital and they are VERY accomodating to patients. Pleasant atmosphere, friendly staff and comfortable rooms. Little bistro serves a nice breakfast and there is a bar (overpriced). Outside there is... More

This was an excellent hotel stay. Pleasantly surprised that the beds are temperpedic so had a very restful sleep. Their towels were thick and soft, unlike other places that give you worn out towels that are rough as you dry yourself. Hotel lobby was very nicely done. Overall would recommend for the price, location and overall quality

I didn't expect much from a side of the highway hotel. If you're planning on staying more than one night, I wouldn't recommend it. I was here for a week. The rooms are fine, with a view of the highway, or the parking lot. The lobby is very nicely renovated, with a fireplace, and couches, and work stations. The rooms... More

My daughter and I stayed here one night due to weather conditions in Durham this weekend. After a meeting at Duke hospital, we found the conditions had deteriorated rapidly while we were inside. We could not safely leave the city due to snow and ice, so we found the Courtyard located nearby. I made a quick call to see if... More
