PamelaUnited KingdomA first class hotel on the edge of the city
From arriving Janet was very professional and friendly.. pointed out everything about the hotel we needed to know.. how to get into Durham and a map of the area.. our room was very comfortable and perfect bed linen ..…
AnthonyUnited KingdomHave paid less for far nicer hotels.
Overpriced. Not worth £274 a night. The extra £20 car park charge is too much when paying £274 for one night, it should be waived.

- Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.
- Whether breakfast is in the rate or added at checkout, and what time it runs.

Questions about Hotel Indigo - Durham by IHG
What time is check-in and check-out at Hotel Indigo - Durham by IHG?
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 Hotel Indigo - Durham by IHG allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Hotel Indigo - Durham by IHG?
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 Hotel Indigo - Durham by IHG?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does Hotel Indigo - Durham by IHG have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Can I book a block of rooms at Hotel Indigo - Durham by IHG?
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 Hotel Indigo - Durham by IHG 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 Hotel Indigo - Durham by IHG?
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 Hotel Indigo - Durham by IHG?
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.
