Top Downtown Durham Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Raleigh Durham Intl AP

8/10 Good

"I stayed at this hotel at the beginning of my trip 2 weeks prior and I loved it so much that I wanted to end my trip here too! It was clean, quiet and I got to enjoy the breakfast this time, which was good. My only complaint was the issue with checking in this time. There was a mistake made by the front desk staff that was quickly recognized and solved."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Univ Area Chapel Hill

8/10 Good

"The size of the room was excellent. But if you are a person like me that use a lot of towels this is not the hotel for you. As I was traveling for business and had an evening meeting I couldn’t check in unless I paid an extra $30 and to have a late check out that was another $30. I didn’t like those extra fees at all."
