This is a typical downtown Marriott with very friendly service, clean rooms of average size, and good amenities. The rate was reasonable and the hotel is centrally located. The lobby is nicely furnished and comfortable.

Stayed to see a show at DPAC. Great location. Rooms are typical Marriott rooms although the bed was too soft and the towels worn and too small. While the front desk folks were great, I have complaints about other service. First, I called while we were driving here because I wanted to find a restaurant between the hotel and DPAC... More

My wife and I enjoyed our stay at the Durham Marriott City Center, which is located in downtown Durham and is connected to the 44,000 square foot Durham Convention Center. Upon our arrival the hotel staff was friendly and welcoming and we were given a cold bottle of water. For some reason we had two rooms under our name but... More

Came here recently with some friends for a local college reunion. The staff was friendly and the beds very comfortable, but the water in the shower was not really hot and the hotel bar closed ridiculously early. The location is conveniently close to the 9th St Bakery, an excellent bar called Whiskey, the Carolina Theater, and other points of interest.... More

We had about 25 guests stay at this Marriott Hotel for my son's wedding. The staff was exceptionally helpful. The free shuttle really helped in getting folks to places of interest. The rooms were quiet and comfortable. Some very good restaurants a block or two from the hotel. Very reasonable pricing.

Wonderful hotel full of staff that are aiming to please you in any way possible. The valet parking staff, the front desk staff, the room staff...they were all awesome and extremely attentive to our needs. Being attached to the Carolina Theater made it very convenient to get to/from our concert. I'd highly recommend tickets to the theater and a night... More

We stayed here to attend an event at DPAC which is a 5-10 minute walk from the hotel. Although we were using our annual free night from Marriott , we were still given a really nice room, a corner room with great views of the city on two sides. The staff who greeted us, directed us to the complimentary parking... More

We were here to visit Duke University. This Marriott was in downtown area- not too much happening and have to drive everywhere. The staff was helpful and nice.

Beautiful Marriott in Downtown Durham. Within 3-4 walking blocks of DPAC and many resturants and coffee shops. We didn't book a corner room on the concierge level, but were given one (thank you!). Great complimentary snack, apps and breakfast served in the concierge lounge. Beds were super comfy with great pillows. Very clean. Didn't eat in the hotel resturant or... More

I'm a Marriott rewards memeber, so stay in Marriotts all the time. I have to say, this one in Durham is really pretty remarkable given it's in a mid-tier city.
