Terrible parking, great hotel, great staff

Parking terrible; everything else fantastic. Staff were especially patient and resourceful, especially in dealing with parking limitations. Room is comfy, trendy, and clean. Disabled folks, please be aware that all parking is limited and you may be asked to park in a secondary lot 0.2 miles away.

Start was wonderful, end was terrible

Everything started off amazingly. We had a wonderful person check us in early, as we arrived before 12. It was great to be able to get into our room early and relax. The hotel is really fun and has wonderful touches, like pool with floaties and a pool table. So why did I end up giving this hotel a terrible? Well, the fire alarm went off at around 10:30am, we had to evacuate and stand in the rain thanks to the tropical storm for 2.5 hours. We were finally able to go back in at midnight just to have the fire alarm go off at 1:30am and 2am. So it was just terrible! No rest whatsoever. The fire alarm was malfunctioning. The worst part is there was no apology of any kind from any staff members for keeping us out in the rain for 2.5 hours.

Lovely clean and cozy property located within 10 min driving distance from downtown Chapel Hill. Staff is wonderful, especially bartender Malieah! We had so much fun, and she is so kind to host us after wedding guests at the hotel bar.
