Staff, lobby and cleanliness were good. Only problem (and it was a big one) is our room was directly across from a bar that was packed with college students and played music until 2AM. I even had ear plugs and it did not drown out the noise. We asked to be moved but were told there were no available rooms. Everything else was great; however, that was so unacceptable that we will not be staying there again. We paid for a place to sleep and were not provided that. They did comp breakfast and parking which was something.

Chapel Hill specifically Franklin Street is disgusting due to the aggressive panhandling. The hotel is nice but it is in the middle of an unsafe area. There for 2 days and did not see one cop car.
