Gym and location
Let me start by saying, the gym is great and the location is perfect. However, this was my second to worst hotel experience. The room I was initially assigned shook ferociously all day. The front desk…

$20 per day parking fee - it’s Durham NC not a luxury destination.

Fabulous staff.
My experience with Santeria Moore was excellent.
She was able to accommodate and assist with family members arriving to visit our Patient at Duke Hospital.
hashemm318CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINAWas acceptable
The room was very cold when we got there, temp was 68 which was too cold for us. There is no need to make it that cold. Most of the people will prefer anywhere between 72 to 74.
The sink in the bathroom was draining…

- The pet fee and any size limit, which is where these bookings usually come apart.
- Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.

Questions about AC Hotel by Marriott Durham Duke University
What time is check-in and check-out at AC Hotel by Marriott Durham Duke University?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 12:00 PM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does AC Hotel by Marriott Durham Duke University allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at AC Hotel by Marriott Durham Duke University?
Yes — parking is available on site at a charge the property sets. We check the rate and whether a space can be reserved against your dates.
Is breakfast included at AC Hotel by Marriott Durham Duke University?

Does AC Hotel by Marriott Durham Duke University have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Can I book a block of rooms at AC Hotel by Marriott Durham Duke University?
The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.
Does AC Hotel by Marriott Durham Duke University have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at AC Hotel by Marriott Durham Duke University?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 3:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book AC Hotel by Marriott Durham Duke University?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
