21c Museum Hotel Durham

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed one night in this beautiful hotel. If you are a fan of the arts, you will love all of the artwork. Bed was comfortable. Noise level in the hotel was great but outside questionable at times so bring ear plugs. Best hotel shower ever!!! The water pressure was dreamy. We will be back."

The Durham Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel is in a great location. The staff is very helpful and friendly. We were able to enjoy a drink at the rooftop bar and that was very nice. My only complain is with regard to the noise level on Chapel Hill Street until 2am. While it is out of the hotel's control, they should consider providing earplugs and noise machines to guests whose rooms are facing the street. We have stayed in similarly situated rooms at other hotels and those were appreciated amenities. We will certainly consider staying there again but plan better next time."
