Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Hillsborough

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice"

OYO Hotel Durham West Hills

8/10 Good

"I travel all over for work. Most times car camp or tent camp. For the price I paid for this room it was perfect. It was clean and quiet. Looks like a shady place but it’s perfect for a nights sleep and a hot shower."

Modern And Cozy House In The Heart Of Hillsborough

10/10 Excellent

"I’d recommend this place. This was recently updated and had everything we needed. The location worked well. It was a bit noisy at times being on a busy street. Close to downtown which was active when we were there. Good food and art along with nice trails to enjoy but we needed to drive to them. In the master bath it is a tighter squeeze to get into the shower but it was all new. It all worked."

Newly Renovated Carriage House in quaint, historic Hillsborough; quiet location

10/10 Excellent

"Another great stay in the Carriage House. We had everything we needed and then some. Didn't make it to downtown Hillsborough this time since we were only seven miles from our grandkids! Can't wait to return - hopefully before the end of the year!"
