Auto broken into
Room was nice, the bad review is because, even with needing a room key to get in the garage our truck was broken into.

Nice location
Check in was smooth and friendly. We had a few cleaning issues that were promptly taken care of. Bartender could have used backup help. Great location near food, drinks, shopping.

I was given room 103 which is located near the gym. I could hear all the equipment late into the evening and extremely early the next morning. I would recommend better sound proofing for the gym or the room. The in room HVAC system sounded like a helicopter coming in for a landing while it was cooling.

Chapel Hill convenience and comfort
This is a very convenient, comfortable hotel. They brought a microwave when I requested it. Parking is expensive though.

The place was great and incredibly convenient being so close to Franklin Avenue I was dissapointed our room didn’t get serviced in between our two nights. I didn’t realize they wouldn’t be making our beds ori would have done it before leaving for the day. It’s always a drag to come back to an unmade bed BUT not a dealbreaker !! I would definitely stay here again !!
