This is a partying spot, plain and simple. The hotel lobby was taken over by a high-volume DJ dance party on Saturday night that lasted into the wee hours with no regard for the comfort of guests. The resort fee is ridiculous and adds no value. I was shocked that this was a Hyatt property and will not stay here again.

Very cute and hip, in a great part of Durham. EXCELLENT staff, friendly and engaged. Some surprising shortfalls given how wonderful everything else was - in our interior (no windows) king room, the TV was mounted to the wall to the side of the bed, rather than directly across from it; breakfast in the downstairs bar/lounge area ran out of food items, service in the third floor restaurant (where we opted for brunch since we couldn't get what we wanted downstairs) was glacially slow, still VERY FRIENDLY, but we were seated just after 10 and served at 11:15. My wife's comment "It's as if it's a posh youth hostel..."

We stayed in room #238, a “corner” room. While the bed was fantastically comfortable, we had difficulty with the heat, and complete lack of access to Netflix. The room was very clean but not fully functional. There were windows only on one wall, so while the room may have been in a corner, there were not views out two sides, as implied. The most unfortunate aspect was the inability to close the drapes to provide darkness in the room for sleeping. There were drapes but they were floor to ceiling and could not be closed due to everything (tv, coffee maker, light) being plugged in on that wall behind the counter top. This is a simple (and fire safe) fix) to cut the drapes to just below the window ledge on that one side.

Great Stay!
Great location. Just a few steps from the convention center, where the conference I was in town for was hosted. Clean and comfy with retro decor that’s too cute. My room overlooked the lively pool and bar so it was a little noisy, but earplugs were provided, and I didn’t mind. The lobby had a DJ, and if I were a few years younger, I would have had a ball dancing! I will definitely stay at this venue again the next time I’m in downtown Durham.
