Cheryl, Greensboro, visiting Durham Performing Arts Center Mon, 13 November 2017
Great hotel; our room was like a small apartment equipped with fridge, microwave, dishes etc. Nice sitting area to connect to free Wifi and great swivel TV which could be viewed from anywhere in the room. My only feedback was the inability to adjust the room temperature.
Liked: Roomy.
Disliked: Room temperature.

Nice hotel but awful location
Liked: Comfortable room with nice amenities
Disliked: Across the street from a very busy train line with many trains blasting their horns late at night and very early in the morning. In addition there are some local bars across the street with many loud patrons walking around. There are also many very loud motorcycles and cars revving their engines from 11-1 on Friday and Saturday night. Also there was a gun shot murder on the street near the food truck lot directly across the street around midnight. College student parents should be concerned that this all happens a block from East Campus and their kids walk by this type of environment.

Not impressed
Liked: The size of the roomLocation while not in the downtown area but close to it as well as Duke UniversityQuiet location and the room was quiet too
Disliked: The cleaning is reduced to being done every other day and consists of only changing the towels and taking the rubbish out. There is no duvet cover just a duvet and a flat sheet in place of a proper duvet coverThe breakfast finishes some time at or before 9.30 so I never made it on time for thatNo kettle to make tea in the room

Great value for the money...
Liked: Excellent price and location and helpful and friendly staff. Free coffee morning noon and night. Decent breakfast for the price (self-cook waffles, scrambled eggs, sausage, yogurt, dry cereal, etc.) Big fridge and stove top. TV swiveled to face either couch or bed.
Disliked: Persistent repeated difficulties with room thermostat, which malfunctioned every two or three hours. Fixing it required maintenance staff to go onto the roof to reset, but there was no maintenance staff overnight or on weekends. Fortunately, the weather cooperated, so it was not a major problem with temperature between 65 and 75. Mattress was really soft and within 1 foot of the edge one felt like one was about to slide off. As is often the case, cleaning etc was only every other day and pretty minimal. Breakfast ends at 9:30.
