BEST HOTEL
Pros:

We stayed there because it was the closest hotel to UNC medical center, my son G was fighting for his life. The gentleman that checked us in the first night was amazing. He made sure we received excellent service from the moment we arrived. He even let my son L and I borrow 2 umbrellas one day for the unexpected rain. I will have to return to UNC medical center i look forward in staying at this hotel. I only wish I could remember this young Latinos name, he was marvelous.

Cons:

Nothing to complain about....

Overall it was nice, I'll stay there again for the next trip to the area.
Pros:

Room was very clean and comfortable, nice bathrooms and showers also. I was unsure if the waters in the fridge were complementary or not so I didn't use them. If they are, a nice little sign would be helpful.

Cons:

If breakfast was included with the room fee, I would have given a 10/10 score. The breakfast rate was too high to expense when local businesses are much cheaper, but if it was included with the room then it would have been a no brainer.

Perfect blend of high standard and friendly welcome!
Pros:

The welcome at the AC Marriott in Chapel Hill was warm and friendly. All the staff were so helpful and accommodating (thank you Miss Renee for making myself and my daughter so at home and to the night staff on check-in for ensuring I had a quiet room). The hotel is centrally located and close to the university, shops and amenities. Its rooms are of a high standard, spacious and well-equipped.

Cons:

A kettle in the room would have been good! Other than that, there was nothing I didn’t like/love.
