Top Durham Hotel Reviews

Water's Edge Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Front desk helpful! Indoor bar area nice area for single traveler plenty of space."

Hampton Inn & Suites Hartford/East Hartford

8/10 Good

"The hotel is being redecorated and I don’t think our room was finished (trim etc), but it should be nice when finished. The shower started with ice cold water for 5+ minutes until it finally got warm. Sketchy area: parking lot sign says you assume the risk, and lobby has a Security guy at night. We needed another remote for the tv to stream our shows and the front desk couldn’t help with that. Housekeeping skipped our room. But a good deal for the price: our King studio was spacious, everything clean, and the free breakfast - eggs, waffles, oatmeal, bananas etc - was excellent. I’d try this hotel again."

Postcard Cabins Machimoodus, Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy

10/10 Excellent

"It was AMAZING! What a perfect place to reconnect with your partner. We had everything we needed and with the nor’easter, we were cozy up, having a few glasses of wine and playing games and cooking together. We can’t wait to come back! The place was clean, safe, and not a far drive from home."
