Best Western Plus Durham Hotel & Conference Centre

Our room was spacious and bright with excellent blackout curtains for night. Bed comfortable with bed linens and comforters that are fully washable (no worries who or what was previously on the bedspread 😉.) Room well maintained. Breakfast is good for a complementary breakfast — included hot options and the coffee was actually good. Lots of parking and greenery around the building. Staff welcoming and every staff member greeted and smiled when passing them is the hallway. Rooms quiet despite location between highway and train. You can hear a rumbling when trains pass but the windows muffle the sound quite well. Room doors can be noisy when closing but that’s a usual hotel issue. Easy access from 401 or GO / VIA train station. Bottom line: not the Ritz but great value for the money.

When arriving, the front doesn’t look very good. There are overgrown trees, vines growing up the building and the front steps didn’t look very nice. We wanted to check in early but was told there was a $45 early check in fee and our room was ready. We only wanted to drop OFF our suitcases. Not very good PR. We checked in around 9pm and was pleasantly surprised when we drove around the back of the building to find a nicely renovated exterior. Our room was nice with a panelled floor, two fridges, a Keurig coffee maker (only 2 k-cups for 3 guests) and a microwave. The beds were comfortable. Breakfast was ok. The food and dining room were small. You need to get there early to have a good selection. Only disappointment was the coffee (very weak).

Staff were very helpful. Rooms quiet. Breakfast selection was good although dining space is not optimal.

Thanks David for been so helpful!!!
