Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“This was 1 of the best-kept hotels I’ve ever stayed in and I have stayed in MANY hotels, in all different cities and states. The whole hotel was exceptionally clean, and staff was very kind and helpful. The pool area was warm and inviting which is very hard to find in winter time. I did not experience their breakfast but I felt the other amenities were wonderful so it probably was too. I wish I could find more hotels, in different places, that was held to these standards!”
“Once again, we had a wonderful experience during our 4 nights stay. Very friendly staff all around. I specially want to thank David, front manager, for going above and beyond to adjust our impromptus change of plans. This is definitely a customer first facility. Thanks again for making this stay a memorable one.”
“We stayed at SpringHill Suites by Marriott Durham Chapel Hill in December 2022, and it was truly awesome! Even though we were only there for one night because we were heading out on a long car ride, we really enjoyed our stay. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, and the hotel overall felt welcoming and well-maintained. We didn’t get to explore every part of the hotel in detail, but from what we saw, it seems like a great place to stay. Overall, our experience was very positive, and we would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Raleigh or Durham!”
“This has got to be one of the best hotels I have ever stayed. The moment you walk in you are greeted with exceptional services. The staff are amazing. My room was impeccably clean. So clean there was ZERO dust on the headboards. Yes, I check for that!!! The room was ginormous. It even had a separate office alcove away from the beds. My only gripe would be the breakfast. The sausage was overdone and the spinach quiche minis were burnt. Other than that I would give it 10 stars if I could. Well Done!!!”
