Top Downtown Chapel Hill Hotel Reviews

Hyatt House Raleigh / RDU / Brier Creek

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast choices were many and displayed well and clean."

Comfort Inn & Suites Durham near Duke University

10/10 Excellent

"My room was very nice and clean. Breakfast is good. The location is great and the staff are wonderful. I had a problem with my sink and they came to my assistance promptly, fixed it and asked what else they could do for me. Whenever I come to town I stay here so I am getting to know the weekend staff. This is a good place to stay."

Hyatt Place Raleigh-Durham Airport

10/10 Excellent

"The check-in went very smoothly. The staff was friendly and professional. The hotel was nicer than expected. It is located in a rather secluded place but it is right next to the airport. The Jets are very loud as they fly directly over, but the noise seemed to become less frequent throughout the night. The hotel has decent soundproofing so once inside you are able to get a good night's sleep."

DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Raleigh - Durham

10/10 Excellent

"We recently enjoyed a 3 day stay at the doubletree. The staff were all helpful.and friendly, and the,suite was very nicely renovated. Bed was comfy and bathroom was well stocked, with nice products and good water pressure. we liked having a fridge and microwave. Rooms were quiet with good sound insulation. Breakfast was solid but fairly basic, and it took some time to get beverages. the gym was adequate but !imited due to work being done in the usual workout room. overall it was a good experience and we would return, especially since we had nice upgrades as Hilton honors members. And don't forget those warm cookies!!"
