Absolutely fantastic from beginning to end! Dan, the legend (the most dapper guy in Durham), was incredibly helpful. And June is just wonderful too; both are a true asset to the place! I’ll definitely be returning!
What a lovely little hotel! Each room is unique, beautifully decorated, and spotlessly clean. The staff are incredibly friendly, and the breakfast was fantastic. Plus, the location couldn't be better—absolutely no complaints about this place!
