  • if you have money to burn, or are lucky enough to find a good deal from the internet, then the Marriott in Durham is the place to stay. Right in the centre of town, it is handy for sightseeing and shopping, and has all the facilities you'd expect.

    Ask for a room with a view...there are some overlooking the river, which are obviously far nicer than those overlooking the car park or the main road. It isn't usually in my budget to stay in four or five star hotels, and I'm usually happy with a bed and a door that locks...well, the Marriott has that and more! If you can't relax on holiday unless you have a trouser press by your bedside and marble taps in your bathroom, the Marriott won't disappoint.

    There is a "health club" in a bright conservatory-type building by the river, with all sorts of hot rooms and saunas and things. The swimming pool is a bit of a joke, though...I realise that health and safety is important, but is it really necessary to create a swimming pool so shallow that you are nervous about doing the breaststroke lest you graze your knees on the bottom? Makes it very popular with children, so if you are allergic to kids, noise and extreme splashing, avoid like the plague.

    Although I have satyed here I can reccomend satying here as it is the most expensive hotel in Durham with all the facilities you would expect.

    Wonderful riverside views, a perfect location all leads to a great stay.

    Worth paying a little extra for perhaps?
