Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is located in an odd place, which wasn't great compared to the price. The rooms had a nice Aloft style, with a good size but had a few minor issues. The service was friendly but uneven in quality due to a lack of available bartender. The location was convenient, catering to a younger demographic than the Marriott down the street. Dining options were limited to just frozen sandwiches that you could heat, but the price was reasonable. The facilities were standard with a downstairs bar that had a pool table and retro board games.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and clean with a splendid view from the window, giving a cozy college dorm feel in a good way. The service was exceptionally friendly and efficient, making me feel welcomed from the moment I arrived. The location was ideal, putting me right between the two things I was doing in the area. The dining options were varied and worked well for my needs. Overall, a great value for money with fantastic amenities and services.
The hotel has a convenient location close to UNC, although sometimes it can be a bit dirty with trash from the night before. The rooms were generally clean and had what I needed, but they could use some touch-ups. The service was friendly and welcoming. The dining options were good but seemed overpriced. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
