Absolutely loved it!
Very clean and large rooms! The bathroom actually had a large counter top with plenty of storage underneath. The free parking in a covered lot was a real plus.

What a beautiful hotel!! So many wonderful surprises, from the basketball court to the secret Room 23! Stunning interior design, great cocktails in the bar, and we had a massive patio. Can’t wait to come back!

2/10 Poor

My 14 yr old son had a severe allergic reaction to the sheets on the bed. Had to go to UNC ER at 3am for emergency medical treatment. His entire body covered in hives! So irresponsible of this hotel chain to launder their linens in such a fashion as to cause such suffering! We will never return!

6/10 Good

Location, parking and upgrade was great benefit. The a/c was so incredibly loud we couldn't hear the TV and were woken up when ot kicked on. If we weren't so exhausted and alreadyunpacked our toiletries when we realized, we would have asked if a quieter room existed. I'd hesitate to book again and roll the dice.

4/10 Fair

Disappointing Two Night Stay
PROS: - The location on Franklin Street cannot be beat. Incredibly convenient to shops, restaurants, and UNC’s campus. -The hotel and room decor are very creative. -Our room was very clean and a perfect size. - Daily room service - The Michael Jordan “dorm” room is really cool. - The basketball court on the 3rd floor is cute and fun. CONS: - Complimentary bottles of water are not available in the room. - No complimentary toiletries in the bathroom (i.e., mouthwash, cotton swabs, shower cap). - Awkward bathroom configuration. - Water pressure is not very good. - Water temperature was not hot at all. - I had a washcloth that had not one, not two, but three holes in it! - The room temperature was terrible and AC was loud but didn’t work well. - Self-parking is an exorbitant $27 per night! - Horrific check in. The room we were given was nice but muggy inside, despite the fact that the AC unit was on full blast and VERY loud. There was a portable AC unit inside. Was told by front desk some of the rooms don’t cool off sufficiently because the building is so old. Was offered a different room with a single bed and a blow up mattress (instead of the double I had paid for). Unacceptable. It cost way too much money to have this many issues during our brief stay.
