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.

Good not great

The place is fine. We needed the pull out sofa bed and it was horribly uncomfortable. Restaurant on site is average at best. Rooms are nice but our shower head was falling out of the wall, door to enter hotel from garage was broken...it just needs a little TLC.

Pot smell horrible outside, disgusting from outside the room through the window. We paid extra for a balcony and we could not use it because of the pot smell below. When they called from the front desk they would not change us to a similar room. Only a smaller one with no refund. No sympathy or help. Don't stay here.

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.
