Chapel Hill hotel operates free shuttle service and sports-themed bar
Chapel Hill University Inn stands as a favorite for anyone traveling to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, which is just two miles away. The property runs a free shuttle to designated spots, and keeps  a festive, sports-driven atmosphere at its on-site restaurant, a stone- and wood-filled tap dotted by multiple flat-screen TVs. Rooms take on garden themes and sport free Wi-Fi access.
Location

Chapel Hill University Inn operates free shuttle service to local destinations such as the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill campus and its affiliated hospitals. The property is also just two miles to Franklin Street, where the locals congregate for nightlife and shopping.

Rooms
Chapel Hill University Inn rooms brim with Southern charm, from the fluffy, floral-printed comforters to coordinating artwork. White arched headboards further the traditional style. Patrons have a choice of double or king rooms equipped with free Wi-Fi access, cable TV with premium channels and a coffee maker.
Dining

Sports plays a huge role at the Chapel Hill University Inn. Time Out Sports Bar – the resident tavern and eatery – engages diners with a comfort food-driven menu, patio dining and 17 HDTVs for catching the game. The light-filled dining room reflects a more modern style than the rooms, thanks to sleek light fixtures, stone walls and shiny hard wood floors. Burgers, ribs and a hearty breakfast are a few signatures.

Good price for good location

This hotel is located near a shopping center with plenty of dining opportunities. It's also located on a bus line and includes a shuttle, so the access to downtown is simple. The staff were friendly and the room was nicer than expected though still not outstanding. I would recommend staying at this hotel for a visit to Chapel Hill.

Great service, mediocre rooms

This establishment is really a motel with a guest check-in building. The rooms are older, and they have the old motel smell. There is nothing wrong with the rooms, but don't expect extravagance.

Great Getaway

The hotel location was a short distance to Franklin Street. The staff was curteous and helpful. The hotel may have been a little out dated, but it was cozy, clean, and a great value. I would definitely stay there again!

great location, right across from shopping center w/ trader joe's

The hotel is 2 minutes drive away from campus (UNC) and just about ten minutes away from anything and everything. Staff was nice, room was clean and just fine.

Luckily, it was close to campus!

While visitng family and going to a football game we found this hotel with a great price. The room type was not guranteed, but i didn't expect that the room type included smoking or non smoking. The only rooms available were smoking and the room we stayed in must have had chain smokers for the last week. IT was disgusting. The staff was not willing to help (the couple checking in just before us experienced the same issues with smoking rooms and not reserving a smolkng room) much and seemed uninterested in making the stay pleasant for anyone. The restaurant and bar that is part of the hotel did have friendly waitstaff and we enjoyed the snacks we had while watching football. Overall, it was disappointing and I would spend the extra $ next time to stay at a different property where the customers are treated with more respect and are welcomed.
