During my stay over graduation weekend, this hotel proved to be a convenient choice due to its friendly and helpful service, great location near UNC and various shops, and the well-maintained facilities. However, the rooms lacked adequate working space for those needing to set up a workshop and had limited electric outlets. Not ideal for those accustomed to luxury accommodations.

My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. On the bright side, the room I stayed in was clean and adequate in size, although it had a lingering smell of smoke. The location was very nice with a lovely outdoor area, but some aspects made it feel a bit unsafe and dark. The service was a bit hit or miss, with accommodating front desk staff but some indifference in other interactions. Overall, it was an average experience with some ups and downs.

I found the hotel to be okay overall, but it may not meet the standards of those accustomed to five-star hotels. The rooms were bright, clean, and neat, yet lacking in some aspects. The service was very helpful and informative, especially with resolving an issue I had. The location was a necessity for my visit, being conveniently close to UNC Chapel Hill and other attractions. However, the dining experience fell short, not being worth the additional cost in my opinion.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was convenient, close to stores and downtown, but I was disappointed by the additional $10 for 'Tax Recovery'. The service was superb, with staff going above and beyond to help us out, even barefoot behind the desk. The rooms, though clean, had a bug on the pillow, and the thermostat didn't cool the room properly. Dining options were good, especially at the adjacent Timeout sports bar, offering decent meals at a reasonable price.
