Such a gorgeous hotel with amazing food and friendly staff. Felt like we were living in luxury. The hotel has beautiful architecture and our room was cozy. The dinner restaurant was romantic and delicious. The breakfast/brunch buffet was the best I’ve ever had. Definitely recommend. A wonderful experience.

I had access to the 16th floor (outside patio) for comet hunting. Alexander in registration put me in to this and sent eight other North Carolinians to join me. This was fun.

The Brown is a very elegant hotel. It has quite a history, having been built in 1923. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the room was amazing. The bathroom has been fully modernized with a shower and large sink area, whole the main hotel room still has a wonderfully quaint feeling.

We loved our stay but the properties a tad bit old and dated for the price. Finding a dirty bandaid on the floor upon checking in was not a great experience. Having to ask to have it removed twice before someone came to do so was also frustrating. The area around the hotel is great for dining and shopping. Over all it was overpriced for the experience.
