Everything was great in the Hotel! Only thing I didnt like was parking. They charge $20 a night and parking is very difficult because spaces are too small even for a compact car.

It was a nice property but if I were to go back, I would stay in the downtown area. It’s convenient to Duke University, but not too much to do there.

Beautiful modern hotel in Durham

We enjoyed our stay at AC Hotel Durham. The hotel is very modern and sleek. The bar is beautiful with a comfortable lounge area to sit and relax. The location is excellent for those visiting Duke University/Hospital area, with numerous restaurants right outside the door.

The good: the location if you are visiting Duke, the cleannesses, the room layout, bed, pillows and bedding The bad: costumer service, receptionist, quality I had $10 food credit, that according to the receptionist could use for restaurant or food shop. The 2 cold coffees I took ended up being $10.75, so I asked her to charge my credit card for the $0.75, but my card was charged the entire $10.75. $10 is not breaking anyone’s bank, but the deception bothered me.

My stay was great. The staff were very professional. The rooms were clean. The only issue I had was I made reservations for a king bed room and got a double queen room. Overall it was a great stay and I would recommend this hotel.

AC Hotel gives an upscale luxurious feel. The lobby is beautifully decorated with modern fixtures and furniture. The bar area is always so neat and inviting. The staff is always pleasant. The rooms are spacious and clean. The only thing missing from this hotel is a pool.
