Great Chapel Hill spot!
The hotel is great and very convenient to everything (don’t need a car). It is next door to a great local bar that can get loud at night, but that’s part of the fun! Highly recommended!!!! Tons of restaurants around, Target a block away, for last minute items! Can’t beat it!!

Check in was handled by an exceptional employee…her name escapes me! She was great though and made us feel very welcomed! Only bad thing was the shower didn’t drain well and water pressure was super low…other than that everything was great!!!

I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone staying in the Chapel Hill area. We moved my son in to his apartment before his semester at UNC. It was clean, staff was amazing, nice continental breakfast included the next morning! Overall wonderful experience.
