Pros:

Location, room space, cleanliness, breakfast, mattress was all great.

$10 parking was an unpleasant surprise. Our room was humid (stuff felt wet). A/C made it either hot or cold.

Perfect for visiting UNC Chapel Hill
Pros:

Staff was incredibly friendly and professional. Bed and pillows were so comfortable. Very clean. It’s very close to Starbucks and near UNC chapel hill. Close to the interstate. It felt safe and inviting.

Cons:

If you don’t plan on breakfast or coffee on site the hotel is great. No coffee maker in the room and coffee in the lobby was terrible. Good thing Starbucks is in walking distance. Breakfast was a no for us but they had it available.

First and last stay
Pros:

A typical hotel breakfast. Nothing to rave about.

Cons:

Hotel interior layout was chaotic. I am 80 years old and my wife is 65, in the area to receive medical treatment. We were required to put up a $50 security deposit as if we were a rowdy motorcycle gang. The place must be attracting the wrong kind of crowd. We won't be back.

The staff, location, room & breakfast were tops.
Pros:

Continental breakfast was awesome with great selections.

Cons:

We were terribly disappointed that there wasn't a coffee pot, coffee, tea etc in our room or even a station in the dining area to make our own.

Pros:

Free breakfast was nice and room itself was good.

Cons:

Niche experience but the fire alarm went off in the middle of the night, causing a full evacuation, which would be excusable if it was the first time but many people said this had happened the night before too.
