Be ready to pay for parking. Maybe this is endemic to Chapel Hill but this isn’t covered anywhere in the listing. Being surprised by additional fees is an instant 1 star.
Front desk staff are fine, no issues. Property is in a safe enough area. It’s just Fine, no frills.

Nice clean smaller hotel. Amenities way better than the Hampton next door. Seriously all the details are just better. Good coffee, shower stuff, facilities, all just a level higher than Hilton’s budget brand. Only crappy thing about this location is the parking charge. Rip off but not the hotel’s fault.
