Raleigh Institute for the Study of Minority Issues Hotels

"Nice clean room, beautiful view over the pool and city center, staff was friendly, and it was centrally located to plenty of good restaurants, shopping, and the Carolina Theatre. Will definitely stay again!"

"Clean hotel, nice employees, but there wasn’t a cart to be had for our luggage. I asked for handicap accessibility because my husband is disabled. We were given the room at the very end of the hall. He walks with a cane, but only for a short while. I asked for a wheelchair and was told there wasn’t one at the hotel. The problem was observed by the woman checking us in, but she offered no help. "

"I had an amazing day but parking and ways to get around we’re limited trying to get food was a hassle, but overall a good stay"

"This hotel is our favorite pet-friendly hotel in downtown Durham. During this last visit, I had inadvertently double booked myself a room directly with the hotel and on Expedia. The check-in host was so kind to cancel the room booked directly with the hotel without penalties. I certainly was not expecting that and figured I'd be paying for two rooms due to my oversight. Thank you 21c hotel. That made my day, and I will certainly return. "

"My wife and i have been on a 2 week roadtrip staying in vrbos all over 3 states and this was by far the cleanest and nicest and most welcoming place we stayed in. My wife greatly appreciated how clean the home is and the clear and easy written check out instructions. She also liked that the host doesn't use heavy scents and sprays. They had a hand writen note for us a nice book with places to eat and drink . Geat amenities. Only had 1 thing i can knock on this place and that is the beds are like sleeping on granite. Over all though we would stay here again and i would recommend, unless your sleep sensitive to ultra firm beds. "

"We stayed here for NYE/New Year's Day, and the front desk team was incredible. They were personable, energetic, responsive, and kind. The Suite is a great choice for a stay--it's spacious and perfectly situated in the hotel. What a great place to close out 2025 and ring in 2026!"

"Very nice house, we enjoyed our stay. Easy check in and the host was very responsive to messages. "
