"Great location between Duke University's East Campus and downtown. Interesting building; the hotel was originally the 1st hospital in Durham. The room was nice and well-equipped, and the staff was super friendly. Well-stocked market. Some amenities were closed because of Covid.2021-02-10"

"A nice, clean, modern hotel in downtown Durham. Next door to DPAC, and across the street from the baseball stadium. Lots of bars and restaurants in the area. Unfortunately, most of the hotel amenities and services weren't available due to Covid. Under normal circumstances, I imagine this would be a fun and lively hotel.2021-02-10"

How Do We Define Motel?
To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.
At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
