Aloft Durham Downtown is a modern hotel located in a lively area next to the Durham Performing Arts Center (DPAC) and the American Tobacco Campus. Its prime location makes it a popular choice for those attending shows or exploring nearby restaurants and attractions, including a great steakhouse just outside. The hotel offers convenient parking options, with a voucher provided for the attached garage, and is within walking distance of many dining and entertainment options. Guests generally find the staff to be friendly, attentive, and helpful, creating a welcoming atmosphere during their stay. The spacious lobby area features games and a bar, adding to the relaxed vibe. Rooms are on the small side but are well-laid-out, especially the king deluxe, which is noted for being large and comfortable. However, some reviews mention that rooms can have issues such as loud train noise passing nearby, high ceilings, and a lack of dresser space. Additionally, some guests found the rooms to be bright or dark due to missing window sheers, and a few experienced noise disturbances from the bathroom vent fan or the train. Facilities like the pool and gym are small, and service can vary; for example, some guests noted that water in rooms was not replenished during extended stays. Overall, the hotel is a good option for short stays, especially for attending shows or events nearby, but potential guests should be aware of the noise and room size considerations.
Comfy beds and in walking distance to the baseball field.

A nice hotel in a loud area but that's not the hotels fault. Pool and gym facilities are a bit small.Staff were very attentive and welcomed me in everyday, the only thing being that they didn't replace the water in the room despite being there for 2 weeks.

We will never forget the friendly and helpful service that we received at the aloft hotel in downtown Durham for our baby shower! It was a baby shower to remember! The space was beautiful and spacious!
