“Hotel was clean, spacious, and felt very elevated. We loved the hot breakfast. The location is a bit far from UNC campus (had a little trouble getting an uber) but they do offer a shuttle that we did not take advantage of. Would stay again!”
“The staff was so friendly and helpful. It's part of the Hyatt family but with small town charm. Lovely breakfast included. Swimming pool, fire pit, cornhole. Tucked away in the trees. Free parking. Close to UNC.”
“My total experience was positive. My window was open and broken when I arrived but the engineer came and fixed it shortly after I reported it. The photos of the rooms are pretty accurate (not quite as bright as the photos). They are clean and have a safe and mini fridge. They offer nice amenities including plant based hygiene products, full breakfast (very tasty), snacks, laundry area, etc. The parking lot was about a 5 minute walk to my room....”
