"Location!"

10.0

Location. Location. Location. I traveled with my college seniors to check out UNC for grad school. I debated on staying on campus or The Graduate. Given the location on Franklin Street, this ended up being perfect for us. Restaurants and shops all walkable. A fun vibe. Very clean with updated bathrooms.

"Good"

6.0

Spacious, airy, and clean—though the soundproofing isn't particularly good.

You should add toothbrushes, toothpaste, and combs; this way, if guests staying nearby decide to spend the night—and haven't brought many belongings—they will have something to use in case they've forgotten their own supplies.

"Not worth the high prices."

4.0

The location is great and the hotel is cute.

The room was ridiculously expensive and for the price, the bed was the most uncomfortable bed I've ever slept in. Pure springs. They offered to put a blanket on top to "fix" it. Additionally the room had 2 packets of terrible instant coffee that they never restocked or replenished. The amenities were low budget hotel and it's a shame.

"Great location but noisy atrium"

8.0

Nice, clean room. A little too noisy for me. Quiet hours do not commence until 10 pm so college kids fraternize in the atrium between 3 and 4 throwing play baskstballs and sounds travels making it difficult to work on rest. I much preferred Carolina inn and was said it was sold out. Another thing I should note is the balcony rooms far west Franklin on floor 3 not floor 4. I specifically chose a digital key on floor 4 since a couple reviews mentioned 4 as their balcony and was disappointed when I checked in they were wrong. I tried to switch immediately upon checkin to 4 but was not allowed to. They said they were sold out. Yes, they had been sold out for weeks.but moments ago I had two floor 3 options with a balcony so I don’t know why they didn’t allow me to switch. I paid something like $425 per night plus taxes and the room on the photo was much nicer so I didn’t appreciate the inflexibility, particularly with Hilton status which did not get me the two bottles of water either. The location is terrific though

"Fun Hotel for Visiting UNC"

8.0

This is a nice hotel in a good location for visiting UNC - we were in close walking distance to a lot of restaurants. Our room (two queen beds) was a good size and clean and well-lit. The hotel’s UNC-themed decor was fun and creative. And the staff at the front desk and in the restaurant for breakfast were excellent! Only downsides were that the mattresses were not super comfortable (harder than I like), our balcony looked out on a McDonald’s and a big dumpster, and the parking garage wasn’t great for accessing the hotel. Overall a good stay though and I would stay here again.
