At Residence Inn by Marriott Durham Duke University Medical Center Area, guests praise friendly staff and a convenient location near Duke and restaurants, plus spacious suites, while noting noise from trains or street traffic and an extra charge for parking.
Breakfast feedback is mixed, ranging from plentiful and tasty to mediocre or poor. Some rooms show maintenance quirks such as finicky A/C, doorless showers that wet floors, or occasionally spotty Wi-Fi. Facilities draw praise for a decent gym and a shuttle within a few miles, though periodic renovations have caused daytime noise. Overall, expect a comfortable, well-located stay with a few trade-offs.

Staff was amazing! Breakfast had so many options, quiche, waffles, fresh fruit, sausage, hard boiled eggs…. Room was very clean. Small market store in lobby. Lobby area with a tv and tons of seating. Nice workout room. But again, staff was incredible!

Nice to have shuttle service to hospital and Duke campus (they serve a 3 mile radius). Easy walk to restaurants. Good breakfast and coffee service. Clean, well equipped studio accommodations.

Like: The location was very close to Duke University. The full refrigerator, dishwasher, stovetop, dishes, etc. was very clean & convenient as I stayed 12 days and didn't always want to dine out. The laundry room was also clean and convenient. The business center had a printer. The fitness center didn't have a lot of equipment, but what it had was in very good condition and the room was very clean. The beds are comfortable. Good water pressure in the shower. The toilets flushed well. Not so great: The property really needs updating. It is clean, but the couches are stained, the carpet in the hallways is old/stained, the air conditioning doesn't always work, the drawers don't close,etc. I had to change rooms a couple of times when issues with the A/C arose. Management was very quick to respond and gave me a credit for one night because of my trouble.

It smelled musky and like urine in our room and much of the facility just smelled like cleaning supplies. The wifi wasn’t great in the room. The location is decently close to Duke, but the immediate area is at a street intersection right by a gas station. There was plenty of parking for pay by mobile 15$.

We love staying here when we come to visit our family. Every stay has been wonderful. The room is very comfortable. We love the gym and the breakfasts. Having a nice laundry area on the premises is also a huge plus. The best part is the fantastic staff-everyone is so nice and helpful. Thank you for always making our trips memorable.

This hotel was clean and well kept. The breakfast was very good. What I did not like is that I requested twice for my room to be clean while I was away on business and it did not happen. Poor customer service with regard to this issue but otherwise the sparse interaction I had with management was fine. I never did receive a follow up call as promised. Also beware if the train that rolls through the town of Durham in the middle of the night. it will awaken you with the blaring horn. Also, there is a $15 per night charge for parking.

The place to stay if you have business at Duke. Housekeeping is hit-or-miss, but that's par for the course for an extended-stay hotel.

Hotel was very clean, just didn’t have a fresh smell. Loved the shower!! The room was spacious. Sofa bed was not very comfortable. Also loved having free breakfast offered! Front desk reception had excellent customer service! Loved that hotel was close to convention center and restaurants! Don’t like that you have to pay for parking.

I was on the business trip for 4 nights and 5 days. While the room and facility is clean, it lacks good room service, they don't even make up the bed and give us extra liner of trash bags. The quality of breakfast is the worst, boring, lacking variety, compared to other Residence Inn that I have stayed.

The breakfast was good, a lot of options and food was fresh and hot. The only con I could think of is that there was a lot of street noise. I woke up multiple times throughout the night from cars zooming down the street.

Located in Downtown Durham, just on Main St, and across the street from Duke University's East Campus, this hotel has an unbeatable location. The area is very quiet and relaxing, and offers excellent strolls and some good dining areas. Bars and restaurants are within walking distance and a bus will take you to Duke's West Campus. Facilities are fine, although the rooms have a bit of humidity. Staff is helpful.

The room was clean and comfortable and the gym was good. However, I gave the hotel 3 stars because the shower lets out so much water that it is actually wasting water. There's no door for the shower, so when you bathe, the water streams out of the shower and onto the bathroom floor. So much water streams out that I had to place the bathmat 12 inches away from the shower entrance so that it wouldn't get wet.

Overall I would definitely use this facility again. However, my check-in staff was nice but not very informative. She didn't tell me about the parking, breakfast time, check out, the deposit, nothing. I had to ask the questions for my reassurance. Although, it wasn't the best check-in experience, I would still recommend and stay.

After confirming my stay with the Residence Inn Durham by checking in online, then email exchange just hours before my arrival stating “I am on my way and would be there in 2hrs”- then the hotel acknowledging that check in… I got to the front desk at 6:10pm to find out I no longer had a room and was being re-booked at a different, lesser quality hotel 10 mins away. (After driving 9hrs to get there). Utterly ridiculous and I’ll never book a room with them again.

I am thankful for the very hospitable staff that I encountered at the hotel. Everyone was smiling at the front desk every time I passed by.

Very convenient for Duke and downtown, with many restaurants and venues within walking distance. Some guests noted train or street noise and a few felt the immediate area less safe after dark.

My son and I stayed here for his freshman move-in weekend, so it was my first time here but I’ll definitely be in Durham again within the next four years and will happily stay here again. The staff was friendly, helpful and competent, the facility and rooms were very clean. They have coffee and water available 24/7 in the lobby. The breakfast was substantial and varied for those with different preferences. It’s very convenient to Duke — esp. East campus — and you can walk to restaurants nearby or drive just a few minutes to even more. Great option for Duke parents and visitors.

This hotel was clean and well kept. The breakfast was very good. What I did not like is that I requested twice for my room to be clean while I was away on business and it did not happen. Poor customer service with regard to this issue but otherwise the sparse interaction I had with management was fine. I never did receive a follow up call as promised. Also beware if the train that rolls through the town of Durham in the middle of the night. it will awaken you with the blaring horn. Also, there is a $15 per night charge for parking.

Located in Downtown Durham, just on Main St, and across the street from Duke University's East Campus, this hotel has an unbeatable location. The area is very quiet and relaxing, and offers excellent strolls and some good dining areas. Bars and restaurants are within walking distance and a bus will take you to Duke's West Campus. Facilities are fine, although the rooms have a bit of humidity. Staff is helpful.

It smelled musky and like urine in our room and much of the facility just smelled like cleaning supplies. The wifi wasn’t great in the room. The location is decently close to Duke, but the immediate area is at a street intersection right by a gas station. There was plenty of parking for pay by mobile 15$.

Great location! You can walk to great restaurants and coffee shops. The room is clean and spacious. The bed is very comfortable and it felt like a nice treat at the end of long day. The staff is very friendly, specially Tiffani and Laura at the reception desk. They were very helpful and welcoming, always greeting you with a big smile and making sure we were doing fine. I will definitely stay there on my next visit.

Overall this was a good place to stay for an extended trip. The staff was very helpful and the rooms were very clean. As a pet friendly place, this was a plus. Our only complaint was the included breakfast buffet which was uniformly terrible each day. But, with a kitchen in the suite it did not really matter.

Pro: Queen Bed/Suite very functional and nicely divided between the kitchen, ,office/living room and bedroom areas. Cons: Don't think Expedia mentioned there was a $12 fee per day for parking or that cleanig would be done every 2 days The breakfasts are bad.Nothing fresh and natural except for fruit. The decaf coffee was horrible.

The room itself is exceptional and perfect for a business stay or writing retreat, especially as the kitchen allows you to cook and stay focused on work without having to leave the room. Location is also great if you do want to explore restaurants and Duke. Only complaint is that their breakfast is mediocre at best.

I was on the business trip for 4 nights and 5 days. While the room and facility is clean, it lacks good room service, they don't even make up the bed and give us extra liner of trash bags. The quality of breakfast is the worst, boring, lacking variety, compared to other Residence Inn that I have stayed.

Location is great, the building's in very good condition, but covid's over, and it's time to go back to servicing the rooms daily. Also, the breakfast was standard fare, and yet.... not as good as other places.

This is always a great MARRIOTT chain, and they did amazingly well considering that a major access road to the hotel is now under construction. It was difficult to gain access, but once the detour signs were located, it was fine.
