Staff, lobby and cleanliness were good. Only problem (and it was a big one) is our room was directly across from a bar that was packed with college students and played music until 2AM. I even had ear plugs and it did not drown out the noise. We asked to be moved but were told there were no available rooms. Everything else was great; however, that was so unacceptable that we will not be staying there again. We paid for a place to sleep and were not provided that. They did comp breakfast and parking which was something.

Chapel Hill specifically Franklin Street is disgusting due to the aggressive panhandling. The hotel is nice but it is in the middle of an unsafe area. There for 2 days and did not see one cop car.

Communication and service could be better

Room housekeeping at check-in was arranged for every other day; if check-in is day1, then daily housekeeping would start on day2 while every-other day would bring housekeeping on day3 and day5 of the 6-day stay. However, by end of day3, no housekeeping had occurred. I brought this to the attention of the person at the front desk; apparently, that person counts days differently than I do. All in all, poor communication from the front desk. Breakfast buffet appears okay but certainly not at European standards....but trying to order a la carte, though on the menu, is trying. Oatmeal on day2 was excellent, whereas on day3 it was terrible: the restaurant host was rather unconvincing in her "apology" and offered me nothing as compensation.
