"Really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. They do it right."

10.0

I stayed at the Graduate Chapel Hill on a college visit with my son. I had to review the hotel because our stay was perfect. The room was really comfortable, and I'm buying some of their pillows for my own bed. I slept like a baby. The service was 5 star, from the front desk to housekeeping to the folks at the restaurant and bar. They location is awesome and very walkable, and close to lots of restaurants and the campus. The coolest things were the small details that really made you feel the spirit at UNC. Really great experience. Highly recommended.

"Great theme but service very lacking."

4.0

Upon arrival, there were two dogs consistently barking next door so we asked to switch room. Front desk staff seemed very bothered by this request; our request was granted but not without attitude. Returning from the basketball game at 920 p.m. we were delighted to see the sign outside the bar and restaurant that clarely said "Dinner and drinks 5 -10 p.m." We walked in and began to look at a menu and a very rude waitress barked at us "JUST TO LET YOU KNOW THE KITCHEN IS CLOSED". We asked why since the sign said 10 pm and she walked off. We tried to tell the front desk staff about this and she giggled and said "huh, I don't know". We asked if there were snacks she could offer us and she just laughed uncomfortably. With all the options in Chapel Hill walkable to campus, will not stay here again. The room was comfortable and clean and the whole MJ theme is very neat.

"Centrally located hotel with Nice decor with many unc chapel hill/tar heel references"

8.0

Nice hotel in downtown chapel hill. Eclectic furnishings with a lot of unc references . Don’t think it is worth the 4 stars though. Little things that you would expect for a 4 star hotel were missing. No ice bucket in the room, nor tea, just powdered instant coffee for example . Staff could have been friendlier.

内装デザインが明るく楽しい。夜は生演奏があってアメリカらしい良い雰囲気を楽しみました。

エアコンの風音が大きく感じました。部屋によるのだと思いますが。
