Very friendly staff and a uniquely decorated hotel, close to several places to eat and shops for Carolina gear. Within walking distance to the Tarheel Express if you’re going to a basketball game at the Dean Dome. Would definitely stay here again.

they did not have the room I reserved. I will be reaching out to Expedia because I paid more for a room than what I should have considering they said their AC was not working in the room reserved

The staff/hotel dropped the ball by not informing its guests that there would be a running race on Saturday morning which would leave guests stranded. We checked out at 8am but were stranded on Kenan St with no way out for an hour and a half. Thank God we did not have a flight to catch, but our plans to get out of town were disrupted. Had we known, we could have left earlier. Left a poor taste after an otherwise great stay.

Could this hotel be any cuter?! Seriously. They blended the North Carolina charm and UNC pride so well in the decor! The room felt very homey. The bed was comfortable. The shower was great. Loved the elliptical in the gym, too. They also have a carpeted basketball court in the center of the upstairs, which younger kids would love. What's even better is the hotel is located right on Franklin Street, near many stores and restaurants. It was very walkable to campus.
