I don’t recommend the Breakfast the price is not in line with the menu they offer. I have visited many hotels where the breakfast is much better and also included in the price m. The staff super nice
They should include other fruits, there was only banana and strawberries, they should also include oats because they only have sachets and no nuts to add to them. The waffles are cold and already made, there is no machine to make them, they do not have a microwave to make the oatmeal, there were only 4 units of yogurt available after 20 minutes of opening breakfast.

Breakfast - 17/person. But through Booking.com should be 0.10 / person as stated on confirmation summary. It’s not worth a 17/person breakfast as you can get the same type breakfast options at a Holiday Inn/Comfort Suites/Days Inn/etc mid level hotel. Tried to make me pay full price. But manager took care of making it accurate based upon info shared. So kudos to the manager.
Staff were “eh”. Like not in tune to those staying and around the front lobby area. Like, get off your phones and get your heads up and pay attention to the humans around you that happen to spend their money and stay at your hotel and ultimately keep you working and receiving pay checks.

The AC Marriott in Durham is a very stylish, new hotel. All the spaces are very beautifully decorated in contemporary style. The room was very smartly designed and equally stylish. The bathroom was terrific, with a very large counter space - rare for any hotel. We really enjoyed the hotel. Great location, convenient to the university and with some good dining options nearby.
The only downside was the approach - there was inadequate signage to indicate where to park for check-in, so we parked in the lower level of the parking garage, and then couldn't find our way up to the lobby without a room key yet. But this was a minor issue.

Breakfast pretty good, better than a typical chain breakfast because there was fresh bacon, eggs, and waffles along with a meat and cheese platter, cereal, coffee machine, 4 kinds of fruit juice.
Oatmeal in packets, not many other pastry options that I remember, tea was kinda weak. Entrance and parking garage are challenging to reach for large vehicles because of narrow access road, parking spaces. Spin cycle on the industrial laundry was audible my room sometimes.

room was comfortable and clean Check in and out was easy. staff very helpful and friendly
The thermostat is directly in the path of the vent!! wouldn't cool the room. Finally covered it. (this is a problem in all marriott hotels I have stayed in. The Fitness room is in bad need of repair. Only one treadmill worked but we made do with what did and got a circuit workout in.

This was so convenient to Duke U. Hospital. Also the eating choices within feet of the hotel were outstanding! The hotel was beautiful, beds comfortable and pillows plentiful. Very nice how many USB ports and outlets there were, conveniently placed in the room. LVL flooring was nice rather than carpet that harbors a lot of bacteria even when vacuumed.
I did not like the huge glass door entering the bathroom. It was extremely heavy and cumbersome. There’s no way an older person or someone with arthritis or mobility issues could handle it. Also, the sliding glass door in the shower made a horrendous noise when opened.

Didn't have the breakfast but the setup looked great. Liked the fact that parking was on-site.
Didn't like that one has to pay extra for the parking. For the price that one pays for the stay you would think parking would be included for 1 vehicle.

The breakfast was good with a variety of items. However, the bread items were hard/stale and the coffee canisters were out a few if the days we were there.

It was a very nice stay. The lobby was a modern and clean vibe, which was very in step with the entire experience.
I think that the only thing that could've been improved was on the breakfast front. It didn't seem that the value for the money was worth it.

The modern hotel was quite convenient for visit Duke with an easy to use carpark underneath. There also were several F&B outlets located just a short walk away from the hotel. One offers really delicious donuts.
