Front desk staff and maintenance were excellent. Despite a few issues with the room upon check in they were quick to remedy them and even compensated with free parking. One housekeeper was excellent, and the other was extraordinarily lazy. Thinking I had left for the day she simply went and pulled the comforter back and threw a towel on the counter and didn’t realize I was coming back to the room five minutes later because I had forgotten some thing. The front desk immedistely sent the other housekeeper to the room who made it up properly. Very convenient location to both downtown Chapel Hill and UNC. Lots of great restaurants in walking distance. I’ve stayed at other graduate hotels before the others seem newer and better maintained.

Room was really nice with extra large top floor balcony. Shower was awesome. Very clean room with nice decor. Pull out couch was very uncomfortable to sleep on but still appreciated the suite and beautiful top floor balcony. Definitely come back and recommend!

Gentleman had front desk was great. Bathroom configuration was horrible. Beds were not soft, and they should tell you that a number of the balcony rooms face a McDonalds. Not worth the upcharge.

Location was great because close to my son’s house. I understand an up charge over graduation weekend but was annoyed I had to pay for a cup of coffee when spending $1,000 a night. Seriously, you get free coffee at court yard by Marriott for $100 a night.

Consistent and convenient place
Amazing location and convenient for on campus events. Only removed 1 star since we had to ask about the rewards for silver members and then were told it is changing. Just feel like there should be some transparency there. Staff were friendly, bar/coffee convenient, nice lounge and easy parking. Parking is expensive for where it is but not many other choices. Balcony rooms (facing Franklin) are large and really nice. The ones on the other sides are smaller but covered.
