“While budget-conscious, this hotel has practical advantages for short work trips, and some rooms are recently updated; there's even squash if you need to let off steam. Onsite parking and Wi-Fi are included, which is a real benefit, though kitchen facilities are limited. For an affordable stay near Durham, it's worth considering if your expectations are realistic.”
