Unique Hotel

This hotel is unique with an art museum inside the hotel. As you walk down the halls, you enjoy paintings, sculptures as well as small exhibits. The room was comfortable and had everything you need for a nice stay. We loved the reusable water bottles waiting for us in the room. The restaurant, The Counting House, has a small dinner menu, but everything we had was delicious. This old bank building is charming and has some of the original features of the bank including the large vault in the basement. There was a sauna and a steam room, a small fitness room with enough free weights and exercise bands to get a decent workout. It was a hot summer weekend so I would have loved a pool, but other than that, everything was great! We used the municipal garage down the block instead of the valet parking. There are nice coffee shops, restaurants and bakeries all within a few blocks of the hotel. I highly recommend this hotel for an evening at the Carolina Theater.

It was convenient to the Flying Home swing dance at the Durham Armory. Museum had quality art. The open bank vault in the basement was interesting. Valet parking was efficiently run. I recommend a $5 tip. Counting House restaurant was very nice. Their biscuit was more like an English muffin, but not a great one. Everything else was excellent.

The concept is super cool (two floors of a 24/7 art museum?!), the rooms were spacious and managed to be both updated but kept their art deco charm. The front desk folk were incredibly helpful and informative--I couldn't have asked for more during my super short stay.

Amazing - must go again!

This was one of the best experiences in a hotel, and I have traveled around the globe. The staff here was absolutely phenomenal, and the manager at the front desk was absolutely lovely, caring, accommodating, and kind. From the housekeeping staff to the valet it was absolutely amazing. The restaurant staff is something to be desired, but hopefully they will learn in time because they all seemed new, but we’re absolutely lovely even though they didn’t know much about the menu. That’s just me being brutally honest. The room was absolutely clean and comfortable, and the best of all was that it was quiet. Everything about the hotel was chic and cool and I couldn’t have wished for better for my short stay to visit my friend in Raleigh.

The front desk staff were accommodating as the first room we stayed in was changed due to noisy elevator. The valet team was awesome; gave us lots of smiles and tips on where to eat. We did not have enough time to enjoy all of the museum but what we did see was very interesting. The service in the bar area was just blah! As restaurant staff was not so welcoming (espresso machine broken) however brunch the day we were leaving was great so kodos to the Chef.
