Durham County Hostels

I stay here for business a couple times a month and it’s very convenient to the airport. Nice customer service but in need of some renovations. The rooms need a make over but good staff. I must compliment a superb employee name Cassandra. She is very pleasant and professional. I travel 95% of the month and often times it’s tough in these days to find profession customer service. Cassandra is always greeting with a smile and ready to assist. That’s rare these days. More hotels need staff as professional and pleasant as Cassandra.

Honest review: Bad points: My 11 month old was anxious to crawl after riding in the car, and the carpet looked clean enough. After 20 minutes of crawling, her legs, hands, etc were covered in dirt from the carpet (even though it was visibly vacuumed.) She had to stay in our arms or her pack-in-play for the rest of our stay. Also, the sink handles turned 45 degrees each time we used them, exposing the soap-scum beneath (just needed to be screwed down), thin walls allowing us to hear the couple in the next room and their guest discussing which sports channel to watch, a hole in the drapes, and scuffed furniture and picture frames. Good points: Absolutely beautiful lake and pool area! Delicious DoubleTree cookies, and very friendly staff. After staying at other DoubleTree hotels, I was surprised that the Doubletree group would allow this hotel to use the name in its current state of maintenance. Suggestion: Deep-clean the carpets and at least use a furniture marker to quickly hide a lot of the dinged places on the furniture and picture frames if new furniture is not in the near future.

The Homewood Suites located at 4603 Central Park Drive in Durham NC was filthy. We were moved to 3 rooms in the course of an hour, from spiders in the bed, crumbs on the counter and floor, trash already in the garbage can, cups of coffee/tea trash made, trash on the floor to rude customer service from 3 people, Joe, Jason and the GENERAL MANAGER. The entire experience was horrible. The General Manager tried to accuse our family of staying in 3 rooms. He was very accusatory in his mannerisms until we showed him how we had NOT stayed in the rooms ans in fact were moved to a 3rd room within an hour of arriving and the night check in guy Joe, told us to leave our things in the room and that we didn't have to move our belongings until.the morning since we had so many issues. The General Manager even showed us a pillow stain saying ”Sir and Ma'am, you guys put this on our pillow”...so I asked him if he was saying that because we were African American, we must have had some type of product on our heads that would cause a stain. How derogatory is this??? In today's climate, to believe that you can just get away with saying anything to anyone is absurd and downright rude. It is unfortunate but I will never be back to this property and I hope that others think twice about staying here. I will ask my company to NEVER book with this hotel again. In the pictures of the floor...where it looks like something might be blending in...those are CRUMBS on the floor of the room I literally had just opened. There were also 3 little spiders on the inside of the bed upon turning back the covers

I was a little nervous about staying here because of some of the poor reviews but we had no complaints. The room was spacious and clean and the beds were not too hard or too soft. My husband particularly loved the excellent top to bottom blackout curtains. Breakfast quality was similar to that of other hotels. Staff was accommodating. The decor overall was nice, not dazzling. The location was not in walking distance to anything but was an easy drive to restaurants in Cary. I would recommend this hotel to others.

Most value for the dollar in the area. Clean, modern, efficient rooms, generous breakfast area, helpful staff. Interior corridors, several amenities, convenient location and well kept grounds. Rooms on the back side may be quieter. No smoke odors, stains, worn or broken appliances or fixtures. A step up from the cheap places without breaking the bank. Instant access to Interstate 40 westbound, eastbound traffic has to go down one exit. Recommended.

Staff were amazing! Jordan the night representative was amazing and very accommodating based on what he was able to provide. He was able to help with a room selection that was better accessible for my 88 year old grandfather. We did have a mishap with our room where the lightbulb in bathroom was out. Due to late hour (we arrived after 9pm) the tech was gone for the night, so Jordan updated our room, however and I did mention this to him, the new room smelled like mildew and the carpet looked like a crime scene. There was literally stains everywhere and hair on the bathroom floor. The sheets had weird brown stains on them and apparently my grandfather’s room sheets also had a huge yellow stain on them that had to be switched out. We were in town from New York for a funeral for a family member so we did not have the time to change the room again since we were leaving the following day, but staying in that room felt very disgusting and NOT what was expected based off of the previous reviews. Also the phones in all rooms did not work and our clock in our room did not work. I specified all of these details to the manager the next morning before we left for the funeral including asking to have the room cleaned, which she apologized for and stated they would take care of it. Came back and nothing was cleaned or replaced (no new toilet paper, garbage still full and no replacement towels. Had to go back downstairs that evening when we got back) We had other family members staying in the Sonesta Morrisville location that we had to visit and that location was a complete 180 versus this poorly updated location. Sonesta keep hiring similar professional front desk staff like Jordan, but your house keeping staff and the location’s rooms needs a complete overhaul redo ASAP! Truly feel nasty after having to stay in that room and do not ever plan on staying in this hotel again.

My wife and I stayed April 9th-12th. We have stayed at this property several times now. We arrived right around 3pm, checking in online. We were greeted right away and were in our room in no time at all. Usually we are in a 4th floor room, overlooking the front of the property. This time we were on the 1st floor, with more of a woodsy view. This visit, like the others, was wonderful. Our room looked great, smelled great, and once again the room had a very welcoming feel. Everything worked well. The bed was super comfortable. Our previous rooms were always very quiet. This was true once again. This room is now my favorite, and I hope to be able to stay in this room again. Breakfast was delicious, and very satisfying. My issue with our last visit was that there was no mixing it up with the breakfast offerings on that 3 day visit. Same mains each day. I will say that on this 3 day visit, they did indeed mix it up a bit, and it was very much appreciated. Once again ,everyone from the property that we made contact with, were super nice. Just a joy to interact with. The price was right for our stay. And more than likely we will seek out this property if we have the chance to come to the area again.
