My stay at the hotel was a mix of great experiences and a few setbacks. The rooms provided a phenomenal view of the American Tobacco Campus from windows in two directions, yet they had a slight smell of old laundry. Despite their small size, I enjoyed the view they offered. The service was extremely friendly and accommodating, making my stay pleasant, especially the room service and shuttle services. The location was perfect for exploring the city of Durham, with plenty of nearby attractions and amenities, but the pricing for valet parking felt steep given the parking situation. The dining experience was overall delightful, with yummy dishes coming out fast, although there was a mix-up with breakfast vouchers. The facilities were well-equipped, with two saunas adding to the relaxing atmosphere.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The location was convenient, with great restaurants within walking distance, but I was unfortunate to have a room in the back with a view of a noisy AC system. The service was attentive and accommodating, making up for the minor inconveniences. Dining was a fantastic experience, although there was a mix-up with breakfast vouchers.

Staying at this hotel was a delightful experience overall. The rooms are spacious with updated Technogym equipment and plenty of towels, located on the 15th floor, providing a relaxing stay in the heart of the downtown area. However, the price for valet parking could be more reasonable given the challenging parking situation.
