This hotel was such a nice surprise! The indoor basketball court for the kids, the amazing bar, and the friendly staff were top notch. Will definitely stay here again!
This was by far the best hotel we have stayed at. The kids enjoyed all the amenities and the Michael Jordan themed dorm room! The staff were polite and helpful. The room was very clean and spacious and the balcony was amazing! We will definitely be going back!

Staff lovely. Went out of their way to be of assistance!
Large room with quirky decor (shabby chic?) was clean and quiet. The helpfulness and friendliness of the staff, particularly "Shy" (who was not shy) made this a five star experience.
Unique property highlighting UNC Chapel Hill sports traditions. Conveniently located to campus and walkable to a number of restaurants. Front desk service and Trophy Room (staffed by Asia) were wonderful!
