Durham Common Ground Theatre Hotels

"The property had a good layout, parking and a nice looking pool and hot tub. However, the gym inadequate and consisted of a poorly functioning treadmill, one other small piece of equipment and a few hand weights. No mats. The staff was limited, but was polite and accommodating. The only breakfast an available was a $12 per person buffet, no coffee in the lobby and no restaurant otherwise. There was a bar open Saturday night. It appeared that property hadn’t been updated or maintained in years. In our room the carpet was old, one of the 2 sinks had a nonfunctional hot water handle, that fell off in my husband’s hand. The shower curtain rod was bent and coming loose from the wall. One of the electrical outlet covers was loose dangling from the wall. "

"Totally enjoyed our stay. Would definitely stay again and recommend it to everyone!"

"For a hotel in the process of renovation - very good. Wish new owners luck in finishing the improvement."

"They provide the bare minimum. Don’t clean up the rooms during your stay, don’t freshen up the room either. If you happen to need an extra towel you have to go to the lobby to try to get one. Breakfast ran out before ten am. It felt like a hostal in a third world country. Definitely overpriced for the service provided."

"We stayed there for $450 for 2 nights during UNC graduation. First, there was roaches in the bathroom. My family that stayed in the adjacent room had roaches too, so this clearly was not a one off. Secondly, when I ran the water for the bath it was brown for at least 30 seconds. Which probably explains why the tub was so dirty. Other annoyance was the floors were uneven. The laid cheap lament and did not think to level it before. This is definitely not a place I would ever stay again. "

"Would stay here again for sure. Everything was great."

"The rooms were very clean and spacious with a separate seating area so it was perfect for our family. They went out of their way to celebrate Duke’s graduation weekend and Mother’s Day… decorations, welcome party, lobby snacks, roses for mothers. "

"Carpets throughout were stained, sheers in room were torn and room very tired. Clean but in need up updating. Disappointing overall for the price of the room. Hotel is close to Duke and we did find a great place to eat. Try Local 22 Kitchen & Bar. Very good restaurant, reasonably priced nice atmosphere. Would have chosen a different hotel if condition was known ahead of time. "

"Bullet proof glass at lobby says it all, then add no non-smoking rooms and possibly rented by the hour accommodations. It felt like a movie set."
