My stay at the Durham Marriott City Center was quite mixed. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but I encountered some frustrating design quirks that hampered my experience. The layout felt strange, especially with the opaque bathroom door and limited closet storage. On the plus side, the location was fantastic, providing easy access to restaurants and nearby attractions.

While my stay at the Durham Marriott City Center had some redeeming features, I was disappointed by several design choices and issues. The staff was friendly and helpful, and my room was clean and comfortable. However, the air conditioning had a musty odor, and there was no proper workspace in the room. Overall, I expected more from a well-known brand like Marriott.

Though I didn't dine in the restaurant much, the breakfast offerings were decent, and my husband enjoyed bringing back coffee and pastries. I would've liked more dining options on-site for lunch.

I found the lack of a pool disappointing, especially as the weather was lovely. The fitness center was basic but did its job for a quick workout. They could definitely improve on dining and leisure facilities.
