DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Raleigh - Durham
4.3/5102 Reviews

DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Raleigh - Durham

Durham|9.37km from city center
Honest review: Bad points: My 11 month old was anxious to crawl after riding in the car, and the carpet looked clean enough. After 20 minutes of crawling, her legs, hands, etc were covered in dirt from the carpet (even though it was visibly vacuumed.) She had to stay in our arms or her pack-in-play for the rest of our stay. Also, the sink handles turned 45 degrees each time we used them, exposing the soap-scum beneath (just needed to be screwed down), thin walls allowing us to hear the couple in the next room and their guest discussing which sports channel to watch, a hole in the drapes, and scuffed furniture and picture frames. Good points: Absolutely beautiful lake and pool area! Delicious DoubleTree cookies, and very friendly staff. After staying at other DoubleTree hotels, I was surprised that the Doubletree group would allow this hotel to use the name in its current state of maintenance. Suggestion: Deep-clean the carpets and at least use a furniture marker to quickly hide a lot of the dinged places on the furniture and picture frames if new furniture is not in the near future.

SureStay Plus Hotel by Best Western Durham Medical Center

Durham|6.2km from city center
Hard to believe this is actually a Quality Inn having stayed in plenty before. The whole place is very run down and dated to the point where it just feels dirty. The room had a no smoking sign however it REEKED of smoke- there’s actually a burnt cigarette under the bed (along with a condom). There’s burn holes all over the floor and part of the bathroom trash can was burnt/melted. The smoke detector was off/gone. Our heating/ac unit did not work- you get 85° F or nothing- plus half of the buttons were gone. The tub looked gross and I’m not quite sure what was growing around the knob (mold?). We were also left with a half roll of toilet paper with (what I can only assume was) poop smudged down the side. The floor doesn’t seem like it was vacuumed. Who knows about the bed sheets, although the bed was fairly comfy (a potential positive if laying your head on the pillow didn’t smell like you were laying in an ash tray), the sheets didn’t have stains or random hairs so I’m trying to be optimistic there. The headboard had random stains, smudges and smears, and the pipes under the sink are leaking and going right into the carpet. The mirrors and windows all have kiss marks and smudges on them as well. Yuck.

Millennium Durham

Durham|5.24km from city center
The hotel closest to my apartment, so I stayed temporarily for one night to make it easier to go to the apartment the next day. I didn't expect it very much, but it feels pretty good for this price. I hope to give my friends overseas a reference The service is average, of course, compared with the domestic, do not expect them to have any services, after check-in, do not tell me where to go upstairs The equipment is okay, there are refrigerators, hair dryers, coffee and disposable paper cups, etc., but no toothpaste and toothbrushes, because I brought them, I didn’t go to the front desk to ask if this was not provided or I had to ask him to take it (after all, domestically, I ask the front desk to get it. Give) Anyway, foreign bathrooms are equipped with bathtubs and shower curtains. There is no shower, but I think it can do the separation of dry and wet. There are two sinks, one in the shower and the other outside. For people like me who need to separate dry and wet It feels okay Although it is a double bed for one person, the single bed feels quite big, enough. Should it be full size or twin size?

Sonesta Select Durham Research Triangle Park

Durham|9.93km from city center
Staff were amazing! Jordan the night representative was amazing and very accommodating based on what he was able to provide. He was able to help with a room selection that was better accessible for my 88 year old grandfather. We did have a mishap with our room where the lightbulb in bathroom was out. Due to late hour (we arrived after 9pm) the tech was gone for the night, so Jordan updated our room, however and I did mention this to him, the new room smelled like mildew and the carpet looked like a crime scene. There was literally stains everywhere and hair on the bathroom floor. The sheets had weird brown stains on them and apparently my grandfather’s room sheets also had a huge yellow stain on them that had to be switched out. We were in town from New York for a funeral for a family member so we did not have the time to change the room again since we were leaving the following day, but staying in that room felt very disgusting and NOT what was expected based off of the previous reviews. Also the phones in all rooms did not work and our clock in our room did not work. I specified all of these details to the manager the next morning before we left for the funeral including asking to have the room cleaned, which she apologized for and stated they would take care of it. Came back and nothing was cleaned or replaced (no new toilet paper, garbage still full and no replacement towels. Had to go back downstairs that evening when we got back) We had other family members staying in the Sonesta Morrisville location that we had to visit and that location was a complete 180 versus this poorly updated location. Sonesta keep hiring similar professional front desk staff like Jordan, but your house keeping staff and the location’s rooms needs a complete overhaul redo ASAP! Truly feel nasty after having to stay in that room and do not ever plan on staying in this hotel again.

This was our second visit to University Inn due to visits to Duke Medical Center. We realize that there have been some remodeling since our 12/22 visit. We feel that the room we were in during our most recent visit was the cleanest room we have ever stayed in. The cleaning staff needs to be commended for the excellent job they do daily. Your shuttle driver is also a real asset to your business. We look forward to our next visit.

Hilton Garden Inn Durham/University Medical Center

Durham|2.75km from city center
Very annoyed at lack of internal stairs and very slow elevator. Had to wait 2+ minutes sometimes for elevator when I could have made a trip by stairs in 20 seconds. Gym was overcrowded in the morning; too small for such a costly facility. The fact that the breakfast had waitstaff, and the accompanying expectation of tipping, was very offputting. Breakfast quality was generally good, however. Although they should either provide enough bananas that everyone can get one or not at all; putting out just a couple of bananas but dozens of apples seems a bit asinine. Hotel was completely unable to furnish a single stamp, regardless of my offer to pay. Shuttle service was excellent, though they should let you know if you're going to be the last one and have to wait 30+ minutes to be dropped off.

Red Roof Inn Durham - Duke University Medical Center

Durham|4.58km from city center
We have stayed at RR in various locations multiple times in Pa., Va., and NC-Duke mainly because of welcoming my dogs and having a good place to take them outdoors. I have asked in the past (Durham-Duke and Harrisburg, Pa, if my 10 lb terriers were welcome and been assured they were no problem). Apparently it IS a problem and only ONE dog is welcome.. Also since we were there for a tx at Duke Medical we left them in the room and they barked when there were people in the outside corridor near the rooms and it was noted and was an issue. I am sorry they bothered anyone. The room was in poor condition with rust, paint issues, dirty floor, NO hangers but would have stayed again as it is near the Medical Center. Our dogs are usually quiet, well mannered and non destructive. Will go back to LaQuinta as before..

Sleep Inn Raleigh Durham Airport

My A/C unit was making a horrible racket. I went to front desk and asked to be moved. She told me they were full.... tough luck.. The rooms are nice. However, the breakfast is abysmal. The only protein they offer is a greasy sausage biscuit, which I declined. Not peanut butter, hard boiled egg. Just 5oz yogurt ‘cups,’ and bananas. No oranges, apples etc, They do provide small NutiriGrain bars. I was underwhelmed. There are 73 rooms here, and only ONE elevator. Good luck with that. I took the stairs going down, ( 4th floor) and elevator up. The sign on the elevator door says ONLY 2 Persons, when it can easily fit 6 - 8. Good luck with the wifi too. On the desk there is a placard giving information to call tech support to get connected. I never did. I asked who owned this property and the guy said a large corporation. No kidding. I would not let my ex-wife stay here. Good Luck.

I stay here for business a couple times a month and it’s very convenient to the airport. Nice customer service but in need of some renovations. The rooms need a make over but good staff. I must compliment a superb employee name Cassandra. She is very pleasant and professional. I travel 95% of the month and often times it’s tough in these days to find profession customer service. Cassandra is always greeting with a smile and ready to assist. That’s rare these days. More hotels need staff as professional and pleasant as Cassandra.

My wife and I stayed April 9th-12th. We have stayed at this property several times now. We arrived right around 3pm, checking in online. We were greeted right away and were in our room in no time at all. Usually we are in a 4th floor room, overlooking the front of the property. This time we were on the 1st floor, with more of a woodsy view. This visit, like the others, was wonderful. Our room looked great, smelled great, and once again the room had a very welcoming feel. Everything worked well. The bed was super comfortable. Our previous rooms were always very quiet. This was true once again. This room is now my favorite, and I hope to be able to stay in this room again. Breakfast was delicious, and very satisfying. My issue with our last visit was that there was no mixing it up with the breakfast offerings on that 3 day visit. Same mains each day. I will say that on this 3 day visit, they did indeed mix it up a bit, and it was very much appreciated. Once again ,everyone from the property that we made contact with, were super nice. Just a joy to interact with. The price was right for our stay. And more than likely we will seek out this property if we have the chance to come to the area again.

Very annoyed at lack of internal stairs and very slow elevator. Had to wait 2+ minutes sometimes for elevator when I could have made a trip by stairs in 20 seconds. Gym was overcrowded in the morning; too small for such a costly facility. The fact that the breakfast had waitstaff, and the accompanying expectation of tipping, was very offputting. Breakfast quality was generally good, however. Although they should either provide enough bananas that everyone can get one or not at all; putting out just a couple of bananas but dozens of apples seems a bit asinine. Hotel was completely unable to furnish a single stamp, regardless of my offer to pay. Shuttle service was excellent, though they should let you know if you're going to be the last one and have to wait 30+ minutes to be dropped off.

DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Raleigh - Durham

DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Raleigh - Durham

4.3/5102 Reviews
Honest review: Bad points: My 11 month old was anxious to crawl after riding in the car, and the carpet looked clean enough. After 20 minutes of crawling, her legs, hands, etc were covered in dirt from the carpet (even though it was visibly vacuumed.) She had to stay in our arms or her pack-in-play for the rest of our stay. Also, the sink handles turned 45 degrees each time we used them, exposing the soap-scum beneath (just needed to be screwed down), thin walls allowing us to hear the couple in the next room and their guest discussing which sports channel to watch, a hole in the drapes, and scuffed furniture and picture frames. Good points: Absolutely beautiful lake and pool area! Delicious DoubleTree cookies, and very friendly staff. After staying at other DoubleTree hotels, I was surprised that the Doubletree group would allow this hotel to use the name in its current state of maintenance. Suggestion: Deep-clean the carpets and at least use a furniture marker to quickly hide a lot of the dinged places on the furniture and picture frames if new furniture is not in the near future.

Hard to believe this is actually a Quality Inn having stayed in plenty before. The whole place is very run down and dated to the point where it just feels dirty. The room had a no smoking sign however it REEKED of smoke- there’s actually a burnt cigarette under the bed (along with a condom). There’s burn holes all over the floor and part of the bathroom trash can was burnt/melted. The smoke detector was off/gone. Our heating/ac unit did not work- you get 85° F or nothing- plus half of the buttons were gone. The tub looked gross and I’m not quite sure what was growing around the knob (mold?). We were also left with a half roll of toilet paper with (what I can only assume was) poop smudged down the side. The floor doesn’t seem like it was vacuumed. Who knows about the bed sheets, although the bed was fairly comfy (a potential positive if laying your head on the pillow didn’t smell like you were laying in an ash tray), the sheets didn’t have stains or random hairs so I’m trying to be optimistic there. The headboard had random stains, smudges and smears, and the pipes under the sink are leaking and going right into the carpet. The mirrors and windows all have kiss marks and smudges on them as well. Yuck.
