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.
I checked in late and the gentleman at the front desk was very attentive and had very positive energy about himself. The room I has was nice and clean but the bathroom was very disappointing. The ceilings had disturbing bubbles over the bath and shower..It was clear it was from the bathroom above. Kind of nasty but I only had one night their and the overall room was clean. I was told showers were being replaced in all the rooms but I would recommend the entire bathroom remodel..Location was good. Not sure I would come back until the renovations were complete. I'm just use to a higher quality from Marriott..

The staff was very nice. Great amenities. Buffet has pretty good options for the price. Room clean. The room had a great aesthetic. It’s around the corner from fast food restaurants. You got what you paid for honestly. I enjoyed my stay

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
