This is my third time staying at the property. I enjoy the spacious and clean rooms. The employees are friendly, professional, and very helpful in answering questions.

All fine. Love the turn-table tv. Rooms a little stark in all honesty. No pics on wall. Whatever. Had good time.
Kevin, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff were amazing and always made sure we were asked if we needed anything. No complaints about this hotel at all!
Nina, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

If you’re going to a show at the DPAC there is no better place for the money. Rooms were up to date with large windows and tall ceilings with a more modern design. Bathroom was upgraded and showers were nice. Easy onsite parking in downtown with an additional parking fee. But it’s good for 24 hours so you can stay parked after checkout to walk around or enjoy a show. Great experience overall.
Drew, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great experience. When we arrived (in the snow), the heat was not turned on in our room. It was 60 degrees! A little chilly. It eventually warmed up and was very comfortable. Maybe no one had stayed in the room recently and we certainly understand saving energy, but maybe just check when it is reserved!

Very nice and convenient to DPAC.

The staff at the Aloft went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable! The recent renovation is beautiful. The food for breakfast was great, and the bar was easily accessible and great service. I highly recommend this hotel!
Anastasia, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Stayed here 3 nights during our college tours in the area. Loved the size of the hotel room. Easy parking in the garage right next door to the hotel. Great gym and pool to cool off. Lobby bar and pool table was a nice spot to hang out at night and relax. Loved the location too!

Perfect stay for DPAC or Durham Bulls
Great location, comfortable stay, good service. We have stayed at this hotel several times—a convenient location to DPAC and Durham Bulls with walking distance restaurants.
Amy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We were in town for a Durham Bulls game -- excellent location!!!! We were able to wait in our room for the rain to pass :) Ate dinner across the street - excited for the new milkshake restaurant to open for our next visit. Staff exceedingly friendly and helpful. Hotel is busy but they were super calm and patient.

4/10 Fair

Receptionist Benjamin Granby needs to be removed
The reservation was made under my e-mail for my partner Rebecka who was staying at the hotel with her mother for a lecture. Shortly after her check-in, I received an e-mail of the receptionist asking my partner out on a date. The receptionist seemed to have no clue he was e-mailing me from what the e-mail suggests. He also went out of his way and provided free breakfast and parking as incentives to try and impress my woman. Using customer information such as email or phone numbers for personal matters is extremely unprofessional and should not be tolerated. I was going to leave this alone but I can’t help but to think of how many times this creep has done this to other clients. I request a full refund of my stay, since upon telling my partner what happened, neither her nor her mom were comfortable sleeping at the hotel after knowing this man used private information to reach out and try to get to her. I also request that the mentioned receptionist is removed from his position or at the least suspended. This unprofessional approach made my woman’s stay very uncomfortable for what was supposed to be a mom and daughter family matter stay at your facility. As an active duty service member currently deployed in the Middle East, incompetent people and unprofessional behavior I cannot keep up with. Attached is Benjamin’s email and my response to it.
