Disappointed

Four guests were registered to the room. Only enough towels for three of us. Pillows were worn out. Breakfest is for purchase but fruit appeared to be unwashed. Muffins were dry, deemed inedible and we threw them away.

Room was nice overall and the decor was a bit retro, there was a really nice Bluetooth radio in the room, but the fridge was under the sink in a weird spot almost like it was an after thought. No microwave in the room, you had to go to the room where they kept the ice machine to use the microwave. The shower was not clean.

Just ok

This hotel was just ok. We stayed 3 nights and in town visiting our son who is a student at UNC. The staff was not that friendly…never greeting anyone when they walk in. Our room was on the second floor and above the reception/bar area so sometimes a little noisy at night. Walls are paper thin. Otherwise, the room had everything we needed and was clean. Parking was always available. We have stayed in a lot of hotels and I would not stay here again. The overall unfriendly/unwelcoming vibe needs to improve. It makes a big difference.

Was in town for a college baseball series. It was super close to restaurants and the stadium. However, it was by no means quiet. The street in front of the hotel is a very busy one and high traffic early and late. For the price of the room, it certainly wasn't worth the price. The hotel lost power for about 5 hours and no generator etc. Thank goodness we were on the 3rd floor and only had to walk up the 6? flights of stairs.
