The Good: Location--8 minute drive to the university, 2 minute drive to super target and pharmacy. Despite good location, fairly quiet. Value--you get a decent sized room with kitchenette and decent sized bathroom. Friendly Staff--they are helpful and friendly. Wifi Internet--excellent signal strength and speed, can stream videos. The Bad: Hygiene! Sheets and pillowcases seemed not have been changed when... More

Like others have said, the extended stay was convenient (walking distance to fast food and a target is hard to beat) for a reasonable price, but the staff is the true value of staying here, particularly for longterm stays (i.e. more than a few days). It's a rare quality to encounter hotel staff that can be real people and also... More

If you are looking for convenience and a good price, use this property. I was attending a graduation and the area hotel prices were ridiculously high compared to other times of the year. The staff was very accomodating and it's a great location for shopping. Could use better TV reception on a few of the channels, though.

My fiance and I were down visiting family and chose to stay at this property because it was much closer and nicer then other hotels near my families home. Its very quiet and peaceful at night, you don't hear hardly anything while sleeping so we were able to get a great nights rest before getting back on the road to... More

It's a nice hotel it comes with modern furniture a flat screen tv and a kitchenette with dishes. I was impressed despite the outside looks I was able to relax and enjoy my stay. I even had the opportunity to grab a muffin and coffee while heading out to my meeting, the hotel provides a variety of breakfast cereals, granola... More

Worst 2 nights we've ever had. Walk ways dirty, room stunk, heat wouldn't shut off so the room was like 90 degrees. First night pulled the plug on the heater and opened the windows to enjoy the 25 degree weather outside. Should have done it again the second night. Should have left at 4 in the morning since everyone was... More

I am a Duke patient who is very sick who travels 10 hours to come to Durham. Extended stay was great. Mrs. Perry was very accommodating and her staff so pleasant. I didn't get to meet most the staff as I was ill, but my boyfriend did and they helped out in anyway they could. My room was very cozy... More

I thoroughly recommend the Extended Stay America Durham University. I have been staying here for over two years, they have always treated me well. Although not always perfect, I feel like the staff really treats in a very special manner.

I've happily stayed at ESA properties in other cities, and had high hopes for this one in Durham. The location is great-- close to I-40 (a mile or so), close to Duke and Downtown Durham (a couple miles +/-), and very close to a big shopping center with a Super Target, Sam's Club, and several chain restaurants. But even though... More
