Durham Marriott City Center

Great location great town a bit more than I wanted

Pros: Everything about the hotel was nice. Normally I wouldn't stay in such a pricey hotel but all the hotels in the area that weekend had the prices jacked way up so I thought, "might as well get a hotel that's worth that money" Staff is very friendly and accomodating and it's so close to so much great stuff in town

Cons: The breakfast isn't complimentary so beware. It's totally setup like a free breakfast but then you get the bill for $16... i was kind of shocked by that. I would have eaten somewhere else had I known that

Pros: Location and most of recent improvements were very nice. Staff was beyond helpful! We did not mid the renovations in progress.

Cons: The change to the bathroom doors is a concern. There is very little privacy. We were a group of friends that needed that privacy. The door is a barn-door type and so it is never sealed shut. It's beautiful, but not a good decision for a hotel. In hindsight, we should have gotten two rooms - maybe that is why they put up those doors.
