I found this to be a very good professionally operated hotel, with detail shortfalls.|Staff were willing, friendly and helpful (albeit for one receptionist who was merely transactional). …

We were very pleased with all the staff, service, and amenities at our Marriott in Durham, England. Some employees went above and beyond, however. My husband had had brain surgery almost two years ago. At this Marriott, we felt it was very tricky for my husband to get into and out of the tub early in our stay. I had packed a no-slip mat to use in the tub, but it was not much help. I was afraid that my husband was just going to have to sponge off for the rest of the trip. However, Stuart at the hotel found a chair that we could use as a shower chair, similar to my husband‘s full-fledged shower chair at home. Furthermore, Mr. Stewart helped us secure some bathmats under it to provide more stability. Shirley, a worker in housekeeping, found an actual bathmat that we could use, and we were good to go. Also, she gave us recommendations about stores and coffee shops in town. Finally, instead of just handing me an extra roll of toilet paper, she got it started and folded that nifty little triangle they make in toilet paper before she handed it to me. All in all, we were highly pleased with the amenities, the food, and the helpfulness of the staff.

Stayed overnight with the wife. No special occasion, just a night out somewhere different. Great location, near plenty of bars and restaurants. Room was lovely, very comfortable bed and lovely shower. Although some of the furniture looks a little bit dated. Staff were lovely, but we only really saw them on check in and check out as we were out in Durham for the majority of our stay. Can't comment on food as we didn't eat there. But given the standards of everything we did experience I'd guess you wouldn't be disappointed. I'd definitely return and definitely recommend.

This hotel is beautiful and we had a fantastic time here. The service is straight five 5️⃣ stars 🌟, no compromise..Friendly staff, comfortable beds 🛌, spacious rooms, clean, window view, high quality breakfast, conveniently located and the list could extend even further.I was treated like a guest and I felt relaxed knowing that things are taken care of. However, the Spa is not operational and parking is £11 per night, which is well reasonable. I am glad that I have had the experience of staying here.This part of Durham is beautiful..

Great hotel, very clean and well appointed room. At the price point, the hotel is very good value and really did surprise us with the size and quality. Staff were all very friendly, and offered lots of tips and advice as it was our first trip to Durham. ||We would definitely stay here again!
