About Sonesta Select Durham Research Triangle Park
Sonesta Select Durham Research Triangle Park offers a mostly positive experience for guests, with friendly and accommodating staff who often go above and beyond to provide good service. The front desk staff are praised for their quick and friendly service during check-in and check-out. The rooms generally feature comfortable and clean beds, and guests appreciate the quiet environment with minimal noise from other guests. However, the hotel faces some challenges. Many reviews mention issues with cleanliness, including sticky bathroom floors, spider presence, stains on carpets, and a generally musty or stale smell throughout the property. Some rooms have broken or malfunctioning features, such as a partially broken door handle. The pillows are often described as flat and of poor quality, with only two pillows per bed, prompting guests to bring their own. Amenities are limited, with no breakfast service and no hot tub, although a microwave is available downstairs in the lobby. The pool is reported to be in poor condition, with yellow residue, and the overall appearance suggests the hotel could benefit from updates. Despite these drawbacks, the hotel remains a decent choice for casual stays, especially given the affordable rates. The staff's kindness and the peaceful environment contribute to a generally pleasant experience, but improvements in cleanliness and maintenance could enhance guest satisfaction further.
Had a very nice stay. The man working the front desk was very nice helpful & accommodating.
