Experience a blend of comfort and cosmopolitan style at Durham Marriott City Center. Set in the heart of Durham, this hotel is attached to the Durham Convention Center and is steps away from the Carolina Theatre and other local Durham attractions.
The staff at this Marriott was flawless. They were helpful. Friendly gave great advice. Were ultra kind and the hotel was spotless. I had one of the best kale salads.I have ever had at this Marriott.I can't wait to go back and eat it again.

Great downtown location, walking distance to many restaurants and attractions. Make sure to check out the Durham Farmers Market on Saturdays!! The room was comfortable, but it had a musty smell and felt a bit damp throughout my stay. The common areas were well-maintained and inviting. The gym was clean but quite small, felt full with just two users. I didn’t try the restaurant, but I did attempt to get a drink at the bar one evening and was disappointed to find there was no server available.

Had a bit of a predicament with parking based on our vehicle type. Called ahead to chat over options and both the front desk and especially Brittany in sales were wonderful about accommodating us! This kind of hospitality is exactly what you hope for when traveling!

The location alone is spectacular. Felt quite fancy and front desk staff were able to get me and my date on a higher floor and were very welcoming. Shame the food options downstairs don’t include anything meal worthy and no on site food during the day, which is understandable but not ideal. Came using explore rate for a DPAC show. Great location and responsive staff. Plus only breakfast options being for purchase outside of elite members was a downer. Very fancy and large hotel. A great staycation mandatory valet was strange but was told we could park for free down the road. Honestly to get the most out of this location you have to be atleast platinum elite with Marriott. Which I am not (yet)

This is your typical Marriott, and I say that as a compliment. I often stay at Marriott hotels b/c I always know what I'm getting. Rooms were clean, M Lounge was open and stocked, staff were friendly and helpful, plenty of parking and local restaurants. And no ridiculous "destination charge." I used a free night certificate, and it was truly free. Thank you for an enjoyable stay that didn't include any surprises.

Overall, not bad. Getting checked in was a little challenging. Couldn't find my name or reservation number, even after showing the confirmation. The attendant could not find my information. Another seasoned attendant had to get involved (good thing it wasn't midnight). Small fridge in room wouldn't hold my leftover dinner containers. Laminate flooring is a plus. Breakfast was good, though a little $$$. Almost $50.

Great hotel within walking distance of everything. Rooms were very nice with a view of the downtown area. The lobby area had a nice bar area with lots of conversational seating areas. A full service hotel with dining area, special Marriott VP area with drinks and snacks for you as you watch one of their big screen televisions. I must add that the service from all employees was top-notch! Parking is $25/day, and valet service is generally needed. We would definitely stay here again! We could walk to restaurants and other events, and the hotel is connected to the Convention Center! The landscape is relaxing and beautiful

Here to attend a wedding, the Marriott is in a good location for a little exploring. The staff is super friendly. Rooms are typical Marriott but more spacious. The M lounge offers snacks all day, breakfast buffet is plentiful

This hotel was in a great location for us to go see a show at the Carolina Theater. The employees were super friendly and courteous. The room was clean and had everything we needed. But the room really smelled very mildew or moldy. If we were staying more than one night, I would have asked for a different room. Overall, a good hotel.
