“Nice hotel. What I expected from the Courtyard”
I stayed at the Courtyard Durham during the Easter weekend. The rate was pretty good ($59 a night), so I was a little hesitant about booking the room, but I've never had a problem with a Marriott property so I made the reservation anyway. I wasn't disappointed. The staff was friendly and attentive. The room was clean; the beds very comfortable; the location is ideal (right off of Interstate 40). The only complaint I have is that there is no restaurant on the premises so you can't order room service. There are several fast food joints right down the road, but I didn't see any nice sit down restaurants close by. They do serve breakfast until 11:00 a.m. The breakfast buffet was pretty nice (scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, grits, biscuits, oatmeal with walnuts and raisins, cold cereal, bagels, pancakes, and a "make your own waffle" machine). Oh yeah, one more small complaint....the television was pretty small (19 inches)!
I would definately stay at the Courtyard Durham Research Triangle Park again.
