Hotels
and B&Bs in Durham
These are some centrally
located Hotels, Inns and B&Bs in Durham. The descriptions
and photos I got off the net because I was getting tired of
rewriting things I didn't know to make them sound like I did.
So I just cut and pasted and put this page together quickly
just to have the information on the site so people would not
have to look elsewhere. Hopefuuly the hotels won't mind since
they are getting free advertising. You can also check Hotels
in Chapel Hill and NC B&Bs
for more choices. (I copied those too) You can also find the
usual cast of hotels like Holiday Inn, Days Inn,
Comfort Inn, Hampton Inn, Red Roof Inn and the rest in Durham,
most of them off Interstate 85 but I did not include them since
it is easier for you to find them then it would be for me to
find them and copy the hotel descriptions. For more hotels and B&Bs check out www.booking.com

The Blooming Garden
Inn
Blooming Garden Inn is a delightful experience. The
house was built by James N. Umstead around 1890 in the 'Queen Anne' style. It
features a huge wraparound porch with 21 Tuscan columns. Dolly and Frank
spent nearly three years in intensive restoration of the property and opened for
business in the fall of 1990. High curved ceilings, heart-pine wainscotting,
raised wood panels, nine original mantels, doors (put together with pegs) with
original hardware, and all-original Southern Pine flooring will delight the
historical buff. Antiques of the period are abundantly distributed throughout.
The yard is fully enclosed
with custom front fencing and gate. Mature floral gardens and flowering trees
highlight the landscaping. The backyard is suitable for private events.
There are four primary guestrooms, each with its own private bath. Each has
its own distinctive character and is highlighted by antiques of the period. For
the convenience of our guests we are open year-round, including major holidays,
except for occasional short vacations during slower periods. With two rooms for single
and double occupancy the luxury suites can accommodate up to three people.
