Great hotel that is within easy walk to downtown Chapel Hill. Extremely nice staff from beginning to end of stay. Unfortunately I had little help in contacting the hotel directly. I ended up using Expedia. DO NOT BUY CANCELLATION INSURANCE.with Expedia. A true rip off. One negative is there is no free parking like other high end hotels close in.
