“The location within Durham's historic railway station gives it a unique feel, especially with the multi-building layout, and I appreciate that they offer pet-friendly rooms; standard rooms include king-size beds, which is a definite plus. Despite some mixed experiences with room maintenance and amenities, the 24-hour service is a notable advantage for late arrivals or early departures. It's a spot with potential, blending history and convenience.”
