Whether you’re visiting DPAC for a show, catching a Durham Bulls game, or taking in the downtown vibe, we are located in the heart of all the action Downtown Durham has to offer. Come experience the Aloft Durham Downtown.
The manager and staff are incredible. Don't come here seeking vegan options. They have nothing for you. Also, don't come in the evening because they run out of most of their food.

Man, we can’t say enough about the kindness we have been shown here at the Aloft Downtown Durham. Benjamin, front desk pm shift, was so friendly and accommodating last night at check-in. He automatically upgraded our rooms. We checked out at 7:45 this am not knowing how long my son’s bone marrow biopsy would take. With BMB and lunch complete we still had over an hour b4 Brent’s appointment with Dr. Hong. Brent was still drowsy from the drugs. So I called the Aloft and explained Brent needed a nap and ask if there was anyway one of rooms was still available. Jacqueline, front desk am shift, kindly said both rooms had already been cleaned but she had the perfect spot for him and to come on back to the hotel. Upon arrival she escorted us up to a large sectional couch in front of a nice warm fireplace and told Brent to get some rest. Proof there are kind, loving people in this world!
Beautiful and spacious rooms and lobby/lounge area. Our rooms were upgraded to King Business and King Savy. As a Marriott platinum member the perks are very rewarding. If you are not a member I highly suggest you join. #godisinthedetails #godsgotyouglover #Godisinthisstory #BRENTSTRONG #kickinapltothecurb

Eli and his staff were all amazing. This Marriott is one of the fancier ones I've been to. The lobby itself is a lounge, pool table, bar, restaurant. Pool and fitness center is on the second and third floor and beautiful view of downtown and the bulls stadium from the pool. I only wish I could've stayed longer. The rooms are beautifully set up. A must if you're visiting Durham. Tell Eli I said hello 🤗

Recently remodeled. Liked it better before. TVs in room had very very limited channels which were incredibly slow to load. No apps and no ability to connect external devices to watch Amazon, Netflix, etc. Was stuck watching one of 12 channels during stay. My room had no hand towels or hand soap. Offered complimentary water bottle for the first night despite my 5 day stay. Location is perfect. Bar stays open late. Breakfast sandwiches are delicious.

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!

Honestly it’s was a good stay, we came for a concert that was conveniently located adjacent to the hotel at the Durham Preforming art center. I was able to the teens go alone to the concert while I enjoyed the quiet hotel room. Checkin was smooth with John up front, parking was $15 a night in the garage next door, although it was cheaper to get even parking for $10 in the same garage. The hotel is located walking distance from many good restaurants. It had cool comfy lobby area with games and a bar. The breakfast was okay, not included but reasonably priced.
My only complaint is that there is train that passes by that is really really loud.
