“This Durham hotel, with its origins in 1815, has a prime spot near the River Wear and stands out for its dining, especially at the Cast Iron restaurant; I think its historical feel, combined with updated rooms, makes it a solid choice. Though some past visitors have mentioned issues like dated bathrooms and pricey parking, the central location and pet-friendly policy are definite advantages. Overall, it's a credible option if you're looking to explore Durham.”

super central stay!
central positionhelpful staffsink edge
I really liked the hotel's position. It's so close to everything! the staff were also very helpful, especially at check-in! they answered all my questions and even helped me with directions around the area! i could easily walk to different attractions and restaurants!
the bathroom taps were placed too close to the sink edge. this caused water to splash all over the countertop whenever i didn't run them on full. it was a bit annoying to constantly wipe down the area after each use.
