Radisson BLU Hotel Durham

Radisson BLU Hotel Durham

8/10 Good
"Perfect location for Durham. Relaxing river walk to town. Restaurant food was good but a bit overpriced. The staff were brilliant, from front desk to bar and restaurant. They gave us their time to talk about the local area, routes into town and local events."
