Pros: club/bar scene, rooftop pool, quiet rooms, nice showers Cons: don’t bother the staff, because the staff won’t bother 9/10

Great spot!

Room and location for the bullpen area are good. Most things are within walking distance.

The staff could not have been nicer. They accommodated our every wish. I am truly grateful and we had a wonderful stay

There's no window! And the room had a terrible smell--not dirty or mildewy, but chemical-y. Gah. Awful.

Came here with my niece and brother. Great time amazing staff. Weekend are filled with activities for adults to do. Great atmosphere will stay here again.

Cool rooms (albeit small for the price of the room), beautiful lobby, check in was easy. I did see a few roaches outside my room though.

If you want a quiet place to sleep on a weekend, stay away. They have a DJ in the bar until 3 AM and the bass line was inescapable. In addition, some device was beeping in the hallway. Front desk did not answer or return my call about it. Breakfast offerings are limited. The sausage frittata was tiny and not at all tasty, but the sandwich was very good. Otherwise, everything was adequate. Service was good.

We really enjoyed the vibe of this hotel. The retro yet modern look was great, and we had no idea that The Patio would be such a party! We lucked into “Salsa Sunday,” and it was really fun. Also, the location is amazing, and downtown Durham is an awesome place to explore.

Very nice hotel Mondays are off night. No Barr definitely need to come back when things are more exciting.

Slight hiccup during check-in (apparently reservations via Hotels.com are hard for them to find) led to them not having the room I’d requested, so we got a nice upgrade to the BEST room right off of the pool deck. The drinks at the poolside bar were a little disappointing but that’s really the only knock

I love the rooms, cool design, and especially the bathrooms. Great shower, lovely toiletries, nice layout, sparkling clean, cool lighting, great ventilation, tons of towels. A/C was really comfortable. Why important? With dew point it was over 100 muggy degrees in Durham, but the room was comfy. Wish my unit at home was as efficient. Desk staff were great coming and leaving. Good walkable food choices close by with delivery available and I liked the Mediterranean restaurant on site. The only negatives were I couldn’t reach anyone when calling the main number to use the options for front desk and housekeeping, just voice mail. Also, the kind gentleman at the front desk suggested when I checked in that I stay in a room NOT facing the pool, but I was with younger family and wanted a room next to them. To be fair I was given options, but the parties at night were] extremely loud. I’ll still go back, just choose a different part of the building. My family members had fun.

I was greeted with a smile! My room was clean & spacious. I enjoyed the Rooftop pool & DJ. I’ll definitely stay here again when I visit my daughter (Duke School of Medicine)
