The room smelled really damp. I was concerned about mold. The sheets had an odd unclean smell. The bathroom wall near the bathroom door Was nasty. Staff was nice.
We stayed over New Year’s. Easy check in and out. Clean comfortable room. Fresh coffee and nice continental breakfast. Friendly staff. Weather was cold so didn’t use outside amenities. Will stay there again if needed
Check in and out was a breeze. The staff was wonderful - helpful and joyful. The bed was really comfortable. Great water pressure in the shower. My husband forgot his fan that helps him sleep - called the front desk and they found a fan for him. Breakfast was not excellent but very good. We were there for a football game at UNC and that was a very convenient location. Definitely would recommend staying here.
