Rooms were clean, great bed! Not very pratical for business travel, no workspace in the room I had. Going more for the funky look than functionality. In a very quiet and safe area.

Although my overall stay was very nice, I was surprised by a few items in my room considering the price I paid. Those include a very noticeable and rather suspicious stain on one of the couches, a glass shower door that gave off a loud, sharp sound when opened each time, and a suspicious hole in the side of the mirror as if it had been penetrated by a ping pong ball size rock. Otherwise the museum style exhibit throughout the property was lovely. I understand exhibits are in a rotation with other 21c properies. I would probably return if ever in the area again.

Good hotel overall but they gave be a double when I booked a king bed and after I went back to tell them, they blamed it on the Expedia system and couldn’t give me the room I booked. One of the staff said to leave my contact info at the front desk and they would talk to the manager but no one at the front desk took my contact information.

Lovely backdrop of incredible art. The staff were friendly but clueless when it came to recommendations for outdoor eating and other questions asked about the area. They were very courteous about not knowing, but it would've been helpful to have suggestions. The young lady that checked me in was very helpful throughout my stay . I usually say the Marriott when in Durham, but I would give 21C another try.

Parking was pricing considering other properties offered much lower parking fees. Dining was nice. It was good to actually have a breakfast in the morning and not a muffin. Rooms were okay, although the bed was not very comfortable. Overall it’s just okay.

Great location and great place to stay

Amazing staff and managers! It was such a fun art gallery combined with a very comfy room. The location is also awesome! You can walk to a ton of good restaurants and be sure to check out The Parlour if you want a scoop of ice cream.

Well it is a good hotel, but we were there for 3 days and they never cleaned our room. Despite seeing housekeeping cart on our hall, they never cleaned. We ran out of toilet paper & towels & had to ask for them. Valet parking is very slow. Says it takes 20 minutes, but we waited for 20 minutes for someone just to show up one morning. We opted to park in street our last night so that we wouldn’t have to wait so long for our car to head to airport. They were working on broken elevators on our floor and the men began clanging and drilling & making noise at 7:30. Overall our stay wasn’t pleasant.

Still feels like an old dentist's office

Pros: Great location, friendly staff, bar and restaurant on site, comfortable beds. Cons: unfortunately, the conversion of this old office building into a hotel is incomplete - a broken elevator, chipped old floors, terrible lighting in the guest rooms, a suspicious odor in the bar area - it feels like an incomplete remodel. The broken elevator meant that floors 7-15 were all relying on one old elevator. This was quite inconvenient. The art takes the place of comfortable public spaces to meet up with your group, so even that potentially appealing detail turned out to be a negative overall.

I felt like the room was way overpriced! I also felt that the lighting in the room was a lot to be desired. The way the buttons worked, either all the lights were on or all the lights were off. That was the most unusual thing I’ve ever seen in our room, and I travel quite a bit! I also felt my throne was very small with little or no sitting space.

A cool experience, but a mediocre hotel.

Like the neighboring Durham and Unscripted boutique hotels, 21C is a cool experience with unique amenities and a fun vibe. Also like the Durham and Unscripted, 21C struggles with the basics: Cozy Bed, Cold AC (or heat if that’s your thing), The room was clean, quiet, and looked great. Bathroom could do with a better showerhead. The AC fan never seemed to turn on no matter what, so the room was a too warm. The mattress was hard and lumpy.
