All fine. Love the turn-table tv. Rooms a little stark in all honesty. No pics on wall. Whatever. Had good time.

The staff at the Aloft went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable! The recent renovation is beautiful. The food for breakfast was great, and the bar was easily accessible and great service. I highly recommend this hotel!

Great experience. When we arrived (in the snow), the heat was not turned on in our room. It was 60 degrees! A little chilly. It eventually warmed up and was very comfortable. Maybe no one had stayed in the room recently and we certainly understand saving energy, but maybe just check when it is reserved!

Stayed here 3 nights during our college tours in the area. Loved the size of the hotel room. Easy parking in the garage right next door to the hotel. Great gym and pool to cool off. Lobby bar and pool table was a nice spot to hang out at night and relax. Loved the location too!

We were in town for a Durham Bulls game -- excellent location!!!! We were able to wait in our room for the rain to pass :) Ate dinner across the street - excited for the new milkshake restaurant to open for our next visit. Staff exceedingly friendly and helpful. Hotel is busy but they were super calm and patient.

We love staying here for the convenience to DPAC and downtown Durham. The rooms are very comfortable & clean and the staff is welcoming, friendly and professional. Until this visit, we were never awakened by trains in the middle of the night, but this time we were, with shrill whistle blasts.

The staff was super friendly, everything from check-in, passing staff in the elevators, and halls, to check-out. Also, this is literally next door to DPAC, so if you are going to a show there, extremely convenient!

Good location
Hotel was clean and has a convenient location. Parking is easy with garage near by. Only knock I had was there was construction happening during our stay so a bit noisy.
