Q:
Academy Park Hospitality, LLC has purchased the Mayton Inn. Early Bird Night Owl, of the Durham Hotel in downtown Durham, N.C., will now manage the Mayton Inn. What will be the changes they will make to improve the hotel and Veranda Restaurant?
A:
I love the Mayton Inn. It has a flair of old world glamour, while being approachable. Improving the quality of the outdoor seating for music, dining and a spontaneous drink would be an excellent choice.

This is my third stay at The Mayton, every room has been different but they are always clean, nicely decorated and cozy. Easy check in process, friendly and helpful staff and nice location for walking to shops restaurants and parks. Parking can be an issue as it's street parking and you're competing with all the other area businesses.
The Mayton has a bar and restaurant if you don't want to walk or drive for food and drinks. Nice ambiance and one of our favorite spots in this area.Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0 - Presley S.Tarzana, Los Angeles, CA53883Feb 25, 2023
I am very late writing this review but its better late than never. This was my first time in NC and I asked my siblings what are some great food spots here (because I review and rate a lot of restaurants in Los Angeles). My brother proposed eating here for brunch. So we went and I gotta say I had a blast. The service was great, loved the atmosphere, location, and the engagement. I am not a huge breakfast person but it was very delicious. I forgot the name of the dish but it was the crispy fried apple with cheese and egg on it. I was a little skeptical about the dish but everything taste great. Not too fulling and the flavor was definitely there. Oh and I also asked for a crab cake on the side and I felt like I was in heaven.
Overall:
Atmosphere: 9/10 (great place to meet up and have fun)
Service: 10/10 (our server was engaging and informative of the menu)
Quality of Food: 9/10 (can't give a perfect score because I also need to go for dinner hahaha but the quality is there an well prepped)
I hope this helps anyone that want to have a good time with friends/family and eating amazing food.Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0 - Ed M.Nashville, TN0346Nov 14, 2023
Sat in the bar area with 2 other ppl - three bar staff there and we waited ...and waited... no one came to the table. Finally had to get up and go to the bar and ask for someone to serve us. Finally got drinks but zero follow up for apps etc. bar staff had zero to do but just chatted with each other and ignored us- we finally asked for a bill. Had planned to eat but given the lack of attention we just closed out. So strange - had planned to spend a lot more on dinner but given the poor service to just get a drink, we said NO WAY.

We booked a room New Years Day looking to relax and have dinner at the hotel. Little did we know that the bar and restaurant were closed. Nowhere on the website did it state this and there was no communication about it I after I booked the room. I emailed the manager about our experience and got no response. Needless to say I will not be back

I loved my stay at the Mayton! My boyfriend surprised me when a night here for my birthday and I could not have been more impressed. We stayed at the deluxe king suite I think? It was honestly larger than a downtown Durham apartment I've had in the past!
The large tub and cozy king bed made for a comfortable stay. I definitely didn't want to leave and would go again.
The best part of our stay was our host Tristen at the bar. The bar was out of tequila due to a wedding the night before (another sign of an incredible event if you were looking at the Mayton for that!) but he made me a special drink himself and called it my birthday special. He was so sweet and kind and genuinely a great server. We had the pimento cheese (I think that is what it was called) at his suggestion and loved every bite.
You definitely want to visit the Mayton! It earned every one of the 5/5 stars.Helpful 5Thanks 1Love this 4Oh no 0 - Nneka C.SAINT ALBANS, NY171082Dec 16, 2023
The one-star rating is based on the hostess' behavior. My husband and I have dined at rhe Mayton several times, and we always make reservations.We have never had an issue just going to the bar to get a drink, either. Last night, we went to meet some friends at the bar, and the way the hostess pounced on us was off-putting. We would never return to the Mayton had this been our first experience there. She basically wanted to know everything, but my blood type regarding us meeting our friends there and letting us know we couldn't be there if we didn't have reservations. I looked at her in amusement and said "ok" but if she could read the room, she would know I was really saying "you to need to calm the hell down." I went to the bathroom, called our friend, and we met them for drinks elsewhere. There are way too many options downtown where you can walk in and have drinks. Your hostess needs training on how to communicate because someone will take offense to her behavior and verbally abuse her.

Have stayed here twice. We are locals and we stayed the first time when our HVAC died in the summer. We enjoyed it so much we decided to stay again for our birthday weekend doing a "stacation" so we could walk to all our favorite restaurants and bars. Both times the rooms were very comfortable and uniquely decorated. I adore that they have a white noise system you can adjust to your liking. Also recommend eating at their restaurant, but it is best to have reservations for that. Nice bar, too.

I got a deal for a night at the Mayton through Offline Raleigh. It was a great decision for my birthday weekend as my friend and I were able to eat dinner that night in Cary, sleep in, eat brunch and then check out (noon!) before we met some other people in downtown Cary.
Paul at the front desk greeted us as soon as we walked in, which was nice. The lobby smells amazing! Check in was a breeze and parking is either on the road or across the street where the old library used to be. Each floor has a different color scheme (team yellow!). Our room seemed to be a mix of modern and traditional decor/appearance. The beds were comfortable, but my friend and I wished they'd had extra blankets available as the cover was not very thick. The only drawback was there are not enough power outlets and mirrors. The closet has mirror doors, but I was unable to do my hair in front of them because there wasn't an outlet close enough. If two ladies are getting ready at once, the bathroom is a bit limiting. Perhaps pack a power strip?
Brunch in the Verandah restaurant was delicious. The waiter was very nice but couldn't keep my friend and I's coffee cups filled. A minor issue. He checked in on us often. I ordered the chicken and waffles and my friend got the omelette of the day. We both enjoyed our food. And because we're intelligent women, we did the smart thing and ordered the mimosa pitcher!
All in all, we enjoyed our stay and I'm glad I made the Mayton part of my birthday weekend. This would be a great spot to stay for the night once festivals return after COVID, or if you're just looking to have a nice spot to retire to after spending time in downtown Cary.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Robert M.White Post, VA045Sep 12, 2022
The chargers are taken with non EV cars and Mayton won't even put up a sign. Not cool ! Nice beds, super small breakfast. We went out to a bagel place and got a real meal. When they tell you they have EV chargers do not expect to use them! Huge disappointment for an expensive price. Parking was everywhere so this was done on purpose to annoy the American EV car owners. Very very un-american.
Won't return until they put up EV signage and make you register your car. If I could give it less than a star I would....sorryHelpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 2
