Spice & Curry

I have eaten at a few Indian places in the Triangle and this is by far the best. The staff is always very friendly and helpful if at times slightly slow. The dishes I have had have been phenomenal. I especially reccommend the Shahi Korma, the Chicken Tikka Masala, and the Mango Lassis. Also, they give you a choice of... more

We stayed at this hotel in OCT 08 and it was perfect for what our group wanted. Let me start by saying that we did NOT want a five star hotel, we were looking for a place to stay for the weekend to go to a UNC football game. We tend to get a little loud and tend to make... more

Comfort Suites RTP/RDU

Houston, TX
3 Oct 2008

It is obvious this hotel is going through a renovation. The lobby is all torn up and you can still see the old dated carpeting in the elevator. However, the rooms are completed and what a beautiful job they have done. The new beds are top of the line quality....my husband who has a bad back and is very critical... more

Wingate Inn - Raleigh-Durham

4 of 5 stars
Concord, NC
1 Oct 2008

We stayed at the Wingate Inn because my daughter attended SRT (silver ring thing). We had originally booked La Quinta Inn, but they were charging almost 90.00 per night, but with our partnership we got the room for 60 per night. We booked a king room and a double for the girls. The rooms are a lot bigger than normal... more

Put bluntly, this hotel is a disgusting dump. The room we were assigned on arrival had a ripped duvet cover and pillow cases, which caused us to turn down the bed. When we did so, we discovered a human hair and a spider in the bed. The room's privacy curtains were also broken, so they could not be closed. We... more

This was a great place to stay! Room, Linens, etc were spotless! Staff was courteous but could have been a little more outgoing. Can't beat this place for the price! Great Value and easy access to the highway. more

Rockwood Filling Station

been there a few times. food has been uneven, one or two dishes stellar while others were not as yummy. Service is inexperienced but kind. setting not that comfortable. price point is great. We will give it time and go back. more

Blu Seafood and Bar

5 of 5 stars
Duharm, North Carolina
25 Sep 2008

This is one of our favorite restaurants. The wait staff are very nice, the food tasty--makes you feel like you are in Key West where the chef originated. They make a great rum drink that really takes you to the tropics. The fish is notably fresh and well cooked. They have fun special activities/dinners too so check them out. more

Serena Restaurant and Bar

Durham, NC
23 Sep 2008

I recently decided to take the boss to lunch. We work nearby. Tiring of Subway, other fast food joints, and the acquired taste of Greek food at Pita Express, we dropped in on Serena's. What a delightful experience. First of all, I read another review that inferred there isn't much business. If you want to see a crowd similar to... more

Courtyard by Marriott Durham Research Triangle Park

4 of 5 stars
silver spring, md
23 Sep 2008

I stayed here for 5 nights on a business trip. Nothing at the hotel really stands out, but that's a good thing for the most part. It was quiet, clean, and comfortable which is all I really need. The excersize room was pathetic which was the only negative for the place. There's a small pool and a whirlpool/jaccuzi thing. The... more

Marriott at Research Triangle Park

22 Sep 2008

I always try to book the best possible hotel wherever we are, comfort and cleanliness are important to me. Honestly, I am a little leery of airport hotels but this seemed like the best available for one night that was near the airport. I was very pleasantly surprised. Interestingly, we stayed in room 612, which another reviewer stayed in. I... more

Marriott Durham Civic Center

CIncinnati, Ohio
21 Sep 2008

Parking was across the street in a separate lot, which wasn't an issue for us but the lot did fill up. Some of our other family with us had to find off street parking. Upon arrival at the hotel, there were only 3 luggage carts, which had to be hunted down to use. Staff was very friendly and helpful during... more

Quality Inn and Suites

19 Sep 2008

I was traveling from Atlanta to New York. On the way I planned to stop some place and take rest and planned to continue my journey. Fortunately I ended stopping at the Quality Inn Hillsborough Rd, NC. The hotel was next to a Hilton Property under a good location. The room was nice and the staff's were so friendly and... more

Blu Seafood and Bar

19 Sep 2008

Seafood is definitely the star here, and preparation is made to enhance and not cover it up. The bluepoint oysters we had were delicious. The seafood paella was aromatic, delicious and bountiful. The diver scallops were prepared perfectly -- just a touch of searing on the outside and light as clouds on the inside. A minor drawback is that the... more

Serena Restaurant and Bar

19 Sep 2008

Although friends had recommended this place for lunch, we finally made it out for dinner and made a meal of shared appetizers. The grilled meat skewers were nicely seasoned and the hummus was very creamy and delicious. A decent collection of beer, wine and cocktail specials. Staff were friendly and efficient. Seems like a nice place to hang out, with... more

Piedmont Restaurant

18 Sep 2008

I went to this restaurant while visiting Durham in Sept. 2008. I was interested in a ravioli dish as an entree, but wanted to make sure I'd get enough to eat. The waiter assured me I would. The dish came with four raviolis, or $4.50 per ravioli. Nothing else came with the dish, no bread, no vegetables, no salad, just... more
