This property was great especially if you are visiting UNC or even if your just in the area and you are a HUGE sports fan! I had a King bed room with a balcony which I loved having the balcony to walk out on. The only complaint I had was the bathroom was VERY SMALL!! I couldn't open the door fully because it would hit the toilet.

Very friendly staff and a uniquely decorated hotel, close to several places to eat and shops for Carolina gear. Within walking distance to the Tarheel Express if you’re going to a basketball game at the Dean Dome. Would definitely stay here again.

Great location but not super impressed

Place was nice and so well located downtown. The rooms were OK but the bathroom was small and not well appointed. The room decor was purposely old fashioned. Bed was not super comfortable. I have stayed at other Graduates and this one disappointed slightly. Still a good place to stay if you can get a good rate. The staff were very helpful.

Great location, friendly staff!

Great location, great decor, awesome space. Parking should be included. Would like to have known where the ice machines were located if there even were any. I just went down and got a cup of ice from the bar. Forgot my body ash but would never have used their offerings as the scent was not pleasant at all, would prefer a different brand for the price you pay for the room.
