We stayed here for a wedding as the reception was here and this is where the guests were staying. Apon our arrival we get our room and the musty smell is more than i can bear. We are informed at the desk that there are no other avaiable rooms. Which explains why i did not get the king bed i ordered. I go to do my hair and the blow dryer is not working so i bring it to the desk and they assure me they will replace it with a working dryer which i didnt get the 4 days i was there. All night i could hear doors slamming in the halls. I did comp a free night for my troubles which was nice but the smell was so bad i wouldnt return anyways. At least the wedding was allright although it wouldnt be my choice of places thats for sure

I stay at this hotel often as I am commuting between Ott and Tor. Always friendly staff, clean room, great rates and the complimentary breakfast is a bonus. This hotel is conveniently located right off the 401, good old Stevenson exit.

The rooms in the low 200's are awesome (behind front desk). Office desk, couch, mini fridge and very spacious. If you are looking for a great hotel and very competitively priced- this BW Durham is a sure bet.

We requested a non-smoking room but were given a room that smelled from decades of stale smoke. Even walking through the hallway in the smoking section made it difficult to breath. After waiting and insisting, we were able to get a non-smoking room in a non-smoking section of the hotel.


This hotel is at least 40 years old. There are many bulges in the walls caused by concrete spalling. The furniture in the room was at least 20 years old. If you just want a cheap place to sleep and can get the place for less than $70 it is a fair value, but if you are sensitive to smoke, make sure you get a non-smoking room in a non-smoking part of the hotel.

I booked into the Best Western Durham Hotel and Conference Centre not knowing what and which hotels/motels were good in this region.

From day one, they are kind, courtious and extremely helpful! They made me feel at home during a very confusing relocation to this area. The rooms were always clean and the services were beyond expectations. The rooms were being re-done and only once did I have a room that was not up to their usual standards. Although the room was in disrepair, it was sparklng clean - that is what truly counts! I wish to thank the General Manager and all of the employees who went out of their way to make my stay(s) great.
