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.
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.

Great location. The front desk is nice and helpful.
My only feedback is tell the valet workers stop smoking and getting in the cars. I can smell the smoke in the car. It’s a rental and if the smell stays in there we get charged an arm and a leg.

We reserved a room block at the Marriott Downtown Durham for our wedding weekend, and the experience was nothing short of fantastic! From the moment we started planning, the staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for us and our guests. Brittany Wells, in particular, was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. She helped us secure a conference room to use as a hospitality suite, and she was so generous in accommodating what we wanted to set up for our guests.
Communication with the hotel was seamless—they responded quickly to all my calls and emails, which made planning so much easier. The staff also handed out welcome boxes to all our guests staying at the hotel, which was a lovely touch that everyone appreciated.
One of the things that really stood out to us was how attentive they were to our guests with disabilities. They made sure those guests were in rooms with accessible showers and booked everyone in our group close together, which made it easier for everyone to stay connected throughout the weekend.
The location of the Marriott is unbeatable, right in the heart of downtown Durham. It was within walking distance to all our wedding event locations, which made it super convenient for our guests. Everyone was so impressed by the kindness and professionalism of the staff—it really made our wedding weekend all the more special.
If you’re planning an event in Durham or just need a great place to stay, I highly recommend the Marriott Downtown Durham. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

No rating for rooms because I didn't stay overnight. For the most part, the set up was great. The meat (chicken & salmon) had minimal seasoning which I understand for a large event. Salad, sweet tea, rolls, and dessert were all wonderful. And the room temperature was good. I get evil if I get too cold!

My small family and I booked a room for a wedding and we had a wonderful experience at this hotel. We were greeted with a very friendly and helpful front desk staff. The room was very and in a very good location.
In addition to all that I was in a rush to leave and because of my own carelessness I forgot my wedding rings!! I was of course heartbroken and terrified and going through all the emotions. I called the hotel, they ended up finding the rings and getting them back to me. So as for me I will always go back to this hotel when I am in town. Thank you again to all the staff that helped find my rings. I am forever grateful!

This is my first time ever writing a review, and it’s all thanks to Stuart (the bartender at the hotel restaurant, Table South). I had the absolute blessing of coming to the hotel restaurant and being served by Stuart. My job allows me to travel every single day, and I am always experiencing new people, restaurants, and different levels of service. I have never had a better experience at a restaurant and it’s all thanks to Stuart. I watched him, as he went out of his way to make a connection with all of the Customers that came to the bar. He created an experience I’ll never forget and I am looking forward to coming back to this hotel just for his service. The world needs more people like Stuart. I hope anyone who comes here in the future has the pleasure of being served by him.
