Great location, comfortable and the best service!

When in Durham to visit family we always stay at the Marriot City Center. It's in a great location, rooms are comfortable and very clean and the employees are the best! Kind and helpful. It also has a comfortable lobby with lots of space to relax plus a good breakfast.
