Good hotel with a great location while visiting my daughter at unc. The comforter on the bed is way too thin but the beds are comfortable. Staff was extremely friendly. Only downfall was no coffee maker or hot water machine in the rooms but they did have it available in the lobby. Nice touch to hand ...
