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.

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.

Staff at check-in was extremely rude and disinterested , not helpful with parking. Loud clicking noise in the room all night long. Slow service during breakfast. Manager Jean Garner was not helpful and unwilling to help with issues since it was booked through Expedia. When told about complaints, we were notified that there is no manager available on weekend and to contact this Jean person on Monday. Avoid this property at all cost!
