Great Location

Rooms were clean, great bed! Not very pratical for business travel, no workspace in the room I had. Going more for the funky look than functionality. In a very quiet and safe area.

Parking was pricing considering other properties offered much lower parking fees. Dining was nice. It was good to actually have a breakfast in the morning and not a muffin. Rooms were okay, although the bed was not very comfortable. Overall it’s just okay.

Hotel is in an old bank has some character but also has poorly running elevators and check in on the second floor

Lovely backdrop of incredible art. The staff were friendly but clueless when it came to recommendations for outdoor eating and other questions asked about the area. They were very courteous about not knowing, but it would've been helpful to have suggestions. The young lady that checked me in was very helpful throughout my stay . I usually say the Marriott when in Durham, but I would give 21C another try.
Nice view of neighboring pool

Good hotel overall but they gave be a double when I booked a king bed and after I went back to tell them, they blamed it on the Expedia system and couldn’t give me the room I booked. One of the staff said to leave my contact info at the front desk and they would talk to the manager but no one at the front desk took my contact information.

great location, friendly staff
Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025

8/10

Although my overall stay was very nice, I was surprised by a few items in my room considering the price I paid. Those include a very noticeable and rather suspicious stain on one of the couches, a glass shower door that gave off a loud, sharp sound when opened each time, and a suspicious hole in the side of the mirror as if it had been penetrated by a ping pong ball size rock. Otherwise the museum style exhibit throughout the property was lovely. I understand exhibits are in a rotation with other 21c properies. I would probably return if ever in the area again.

The history of this property is unique along with the exhibits. The staff was super friendly and helpful, and it was a really speacial experience.

Staff were all very helpful, but the air conditioning in our room didn’t work. They moved us to another room. The art work in the hotel is a definite plus. The hotel is a moderate walk to several restaurants.

The room was nice with a comfortable bed. It is in a very walkable area and close to many restaurants. The staff was not very attentive and check in was a bit chaotic. The building also needs some renovations.

Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025

6/10

The hotel is in fair condition and room was clean. Downside is the room AC which didn’t work properly and room was a bit musty. We had to swap rooms in order to get a less musty experience. For some reason we didn’t have hot water running at all in the evening nor in the morning…not to bad since the weather was hot, but this is not a 3 star hotel should miss in any circumstances. I recommend other hotels near by for weekend stays/visits.

Buildings smells. Towels smell very dirty. Water filters in the filling stations were expired. AC in first room didn’t work and had to move. Elevators are also dirty.

The staff was top notch, and the aesthetics pleasing. I did, however, find the beds, bedding, towels, and robe to be subpar. Not a great sleep or shower experience.
