Raleigh Brightleaf Square Hotels

"We had trouble getting in--they had given us the wrong access code for the front door, so I had to call. The "coffee maker" is actually an electric kettle and you make your coffee with tea bag coffees. Be aware only stevia is provided, not sugar, so you may need to bring your own sweetener. They do have creamer. No bedding provided for the futon. For positives, the location is wonderful and the neighborhood is beautiful."

"Clean room, gorgeous galleries, great restaurant, wonderful staff"

"We loved our stay at The Durham hotel. We've stayed in several hotels in the area, and this is our favorite to date. All staff members we interacted with were amazing!"

"Cool place in downtown durham, great location."

"As a native from town I wanted to stay somewhere that had a little history behind it. The condo was fully stocked with towels, cleaning supplies and coffee. The space was clean and cozy. "

"Location is easy 8 min drive to Duke U Hospital but felt like a small escape from the serious purpose of visit. We were attracted by the hammocks for that reason and it WAS nice to grab a swing.As a close-proximity stay — as long as you don’t want to be right on the hospital campus — it was a winner. Nitetime arrival was no problem due to code entry. Plenty of room for 2 and would work equally as well for 2 couples who get along in shared spaces. Just one TV, but WiFi was fast & reliable for streaming. Bedroom walls open to ceiling so keep tantric acts muted. Bed was comfy and all rooms were spotlessly clean. Lighting in bdrms moody vs bright.Generous # of dishware, utensils, and glasses, large fridge water-filter pitcher drip coffee maker and microwave. (No toaster, no large mugs.) With several restaurants within a few blocks, kitchen perfectly stocked for take-out & leftover meals. Just the basics for pots & pans, tho, so if you need a specific item, ask if available. Laundry room is right across the hall and detergent is provided. Machines accept credit cards or phone pay.Parking in lot in front is a dice-roll but we lucked out each night & backup lot is 1blk away. Longish walk from elevator to room, so opt for wheeled luggage.Super well stocked with shampoo/conditioner/soap/ towels/paper products.Only con: 3rd party vetting requires all guests’ selfies, primary license photo & sig, a privacy concern since no data protection terms provided.
