Sonesta Select Durham Research Triangle Park

Mixed reports: multiple guests mention stained carpets, mold, dirty walls, stained furniture and bugs, while a few reviews note the property felt clean on arrival.

Generally praised — front desk staff frequently described as friendly and helpful; a few isolated comments about rude staff, but overall service is a strong positive.

Convenient/acceptable location for many guests, with some mentions of sketchy parking/homeless nearby making a few guests uncomfortable.

Rooms often described as old, with damaged furniture, holes in walls, stained carpets and occasional mold; some guests found beds acceptable.

Several broken or missing items reported (ice machine, TV, phone, hair dryer, occasional A/C issues); basic amenities present but inconsistent.

Multiple reviews explicitly call the property affordable/budget friendly and good value for the price despite shortcomings.

Very limited — guests report no breakfast beyond coffee and missing or minimal F&B offerings; this is a consistent minor negative.

Mixed overall: friendly staff and strong value offset cleanliness and room-quality issues for many guests, producing a generally acceptable experience for budget travelers.
