The property and rooms are clean. The location is great if you are visiting UNC-CH. The only negative was the breakfast did not have that many options in the mornings.
We were there for a night, but everything was amazing! The girl at the reception was adorable. The room was clean. Kids like breakfast the most but I was impressed with the lobby- designed and modern, different zones to rest. Thank you. Definitely come again
Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Rooms and overall hotel and parking lot were very clean.
