Courtyard Marriott

    The Courtyard Marriott is close to downtown, the wedding site, and right around the corner from our house! We've reserved a block of rooms at the rate of $79 (plus taxes) for Saturday night at the Courtyard Marriott. Please note: we can only secure this rate up until May 19. You may be able to get the group rate for additional nights. To reserve a room, contact the front desk at (919) 309-1500 or at 1-800-321-2211 and mention the "Ward Lien Wedding" block. The address for the Courtyard Marriott is:
    1815 Front Street
    Durham, NC 27705

Other Options

The following are also nice options, although we have not reserved any blocks:
    The Downtown Marriott
    This Marriott hotel is located right in the heart of Durham, should you choose to stay downtown. The front desk contact number is 919-768-6000.
    The Washington Duke Inn & Golf Club
    For those looking to get in a few rounds of golf or thinking about turning the weekend into a true luxury getaway, the Washington Duke Inn (the Wa-Duke to us Dukies) is the place to go. Located very close to Duke's campus.
    Carol's Garden Inn
    A nice local B&B with beautiful landscaping (this was an alternate location for our ceremony), Carol's Garden Inn is a bit of a drive from downtown Durham and the ceremony location, but still within 15 minutes.
