The staff was fantastic - very friendly and helpful. The hotel itself is in a nice area that was walkable to shops and restaurants as well as a slightly longer but very manageable walk to the UNC Chapel Hill campus. Hotel was very comfortable and clean.

The hotel was done really nicely. The room was really clean and spacious. There was a nice coffee bar downstairs in the morning. There wasn’t any lotion in the room, but they might’ve had some if I asked.

The hotel was nice and the staff were great. The bartender, Angela was especially friendly. The room was clean, however, on our last day we saw a bug. I don't think it was a bed bug but that was a little disappointing. Overall though the hotel was clean and well kept. I would recommend the hotel and stay again.

Great hotel that is within easy walk to downtown Chapel Hill. Extremely nice staff from beginning to end of stay. Unfortunately I had little help in contacting the hotel directly. I ended up using Expedia. DO NOT BUY CANCELLATION INSURANCE.with Expedia. A true rip off. One negative is there is no free parking like other high end hotels close in.
