Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is ideally situated in the heart of Durham with all-new facilities and a riverfront location, offering easy access to various tourist sites. The rooms are spacious and modern, providing a large, comfortable bed and adequate amenities; however, they lack extra touches.

The dining experience offers well-cooked items with a good selection of organic Quebec cheeses, although hot foods were occasionally served cold. The facilities are top-notch, with a beautiful Collage restaurant on-site. The only downside was the lack of responsiveness to a request for extra bedding.
