Do not enter the parking garage until you have received your QR-coded parking pass
Our hotel is conveniently located in the heart of downtown, right next door to the Durham Performing Arts Center (DPAC). We share a parking garage, so make sure you give yourself extra time to find parking during events at these venues.
April through September, the Durham Bulls are at bat directly next to our hotel. During home games, the parking and arrival experience may be impacted. Please allow additional time to stop by the Front Desk to pick up your code to access the garage. Please contact the hotel for further information or click here for scheduled games.
To ensure the well-being of our guests, the following policies are in place:
Only guests and Talent have access to guest floors. Deliveries, including food, must be met at the Front Desk. Alternatively, a Talent member can bring items to your room based on availability.
The Parking Facility is separate from the hotel. Although it is adjacent to us, for your safety there is no direct pass-through connection. We suggest that you unload, take items to your room and then park vehicles in the deck.
Room keys are only provided to those whose name is on the reservation, verified with government-issued photo ID. If you would like to grant access to other guests, please call the hotel to arrange.

The hotel is compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). ADA-compliant guest rooms include two rooms with one king bed each, and five rooms with two queen beds each. Wheelchairs and TDD equipment can be provided at no charge. Please contact the hotel directly to request these facilities.
Extra Bedding
We don't have any extra rollaway beds, but many of our Aloft rooms offer two queen-size beds, so be sure to ask if that's what you need.
