No Bull- This is Durham's Finest
Pros:

My wife and daughter arrived for one night on the way back to Pennsylvania from Myrtle Beach. This hotel is nicely situated, in the center of town, approximately 5-10 minutes from Duke University. The front desk staff was friendly and offered some good recommendations for dinner. We chose Toro Pizzeria right around the corner from the hotel. And it was excellent.

The rooms are on the small side but clean and nicely decorated. They also have an attractive bar area and breakfast buffet. We didn't indulge but it looked pretty appetizing. On weekends, they also have some live music in the park directly outside property. The only thing missing was a pool but, overall, the place has a nice casual vibe and we would stay here again.

Paid too much for roaches crawling and filthy floors.
Pros:

Convenient to the convention center. Valet parking and staff were so helpful.

Cons:

Rooms and Hallways were dark. There was a roach crawling across the floor while we were changing for bed. The shower leaked water into the floor. When cleaning up the water the white towel was filthy from the floor.

musty, sad room in a good location with staff not very aware of their surroundings
Pros:

location is great, best thing about it.

Cons:

the property was not full but they put me on a floor with a fan running in the hallway to dry out the carpet; the room was musty and a bit sad, the windows were very dirty; I asked a few times about close restaurants and the staff was unaware of where anything was although friendly; I was a single woman on business and could have been upgraded to a better floor (I was on the second floor) with a nicer room but... I would choose another hotel nearby as this was not much better than a very basic motel with better branding in theory
