Great property. Price is doable on an off-weekend in Chapel Hill, but many times it just too pricey/not a good value to me. It may be to others. All staff, amenities, facilities, and services were excellent. Location is one of the 3 best in Chapel Hill. The not-tacky, but fun UNC touches are great. Love the plush-ball basketball court and balls. Two things that I would change are 1) to reduce parking to a more "normal" $20.00/night and 2) upgrade and raise wall sockets for those who have items they need to plug into the wall sockets. Should not have to move furniture to plug into wall socket. Overall: A

My stay.
Great one night stay, everyone was very nice, extremely clean. The only negative is that we could hear the conversations from the adjoining room. They were not yelling, just normal tones, but fortunately it was all quiet by 11:00 pm.

Sweet and fun hotel
I loved the fun, bright atmosphere of the whole hotel. The room was adorable and comfortable. Our junior king suite had a sofa bed and a nice patio balcony. There were several Tesla chargers and other EV chargers in the parking lot, which was really helpful. The staff was very helpful.
