OYO Hotel Durham West Hills is situated in the outskirts of Durham, North Carolina. Guests are afforded a superior check-in experience as they are offered 24/7 check-ins and parking facility.

I was a little skeptical driving in, it's not the best location. You will not be able to check your room out without handing over a deposit. So, I was pleasantly surprised with my room, 102. It is dated and simple, but was clean. The only amenities are a microwave, a bigger, dorm-style fridge, cupla cups and an ice bucket. There is a full-size bed with a decent, albeit, firm mattress. There are outlets on both sides of the bed with built in USB A ports. The bathroom is a little small, but has a full size tub and shower with a fairly new curtain. Did I mention, clean. You get two small bars of soap and limited towels. I don't know where the color scheme shown online is located, because my walls were battleship gray on the port side and rustic red on the right. This was a somewhat pleasant combination. The TV is prolly 40", 4K, with Spectrum cable, wall-mounted, in line with the bed. The room is finished off with one nightstand, small round table with upholstered chairs, and a long, short of stature, two-drawer dresser. Stayed two nights during the week and would consider staying here again. Two nights cost me 20% less than one night at the "down the street" Hilton.

I was given Room 114, a corner spot, and it was very nice! I requested a non-smoking room and it was very clean. Everything worked fine, including the hot water, television, air conditioning and the fan. They also charge a separate $100 incidental fee which gets reimbursed after the room is inspected. I am very happy with this budget-friendly motel! On a side note, they have a strict “no pets” policy.
