I have stayed at the lovely Carolina Inn several times and every time, I am a bit sad to leave. I love this hotel for its the location, the decor, the staff, the overall warm and homey atmosphere. Will stay there every time I visit Chapel Hill. Only suggestions are for additional parking space during busy fall weekends (football, wedding,... more

Having read through the previous reviews, there's little that I can add. It's all true. The Carolina Inn is a charming Southern home, oozing hospitality for Carolina alumni. It's also an older property, with lots of quirks, including many smaller rooms with uneven floors and tiny bathrooms. It's THE place to stay if you're going to football games or other... more

The Carolina Inn is a lovely gem of a hotel. We were there for a family wedding. It is a beautiful wedding location oozing with southern charm and hospitality. They have perfect settings for both an inside or outside wedding. On this occasion the weather was iffy so the hotel prepared both the outside and inside venue for last minute... more

Spent a night at The Carolina Inn in Chapel Hill, NC. Room was small, very nicely furniched but without many of the amenities a hotel like this shojld have nowadays. Bathroom was very clean, but looked like it had last been updated twenty years ago. Hotel staff friendly and gracious... very Southern. Conference facilities were OK, but could have been... more

The Carolina Inn has it all, great location, great ambiance, great staff..it is the perfect home away from home for the business traveler! WiFi throughout the property is complimentary. Their fitness and business centers are both newly renovated. No one compares to The Carolina Inn! more

This is probably a great hotel for UNC Alumni to socialize. The location is great. You can walk everywhere you need to go. However, the rooms are very small. No microwave or refrigerator. You can't sit on the toilet and open the door. Water pressure was terrible. There was mold in the shower. Expect socializing in the courtyard outside of... more

From pulling up to the bell boy to departing for home, my experience was top-level. If you're a Tar Heel, stay here, it's your duty. If you are an out-of-towner, stay here. If you are driving North of South on 1-95, take the 45 minutes to visit, dine and relax. You won't be disappointed. more

My family and I enjoyed the Carolina Inn's hospitality overnight during the UNC Pro Alum game. We had looked forward to both the game and an overnight stay at the Inn--and were not disappointed in either. The Inn even sent a courtesy van to pick us up after the game. The staff was friendly and helpful, recommending good barbecue restaurants... more

We always stay here if they have a room when we are in Chapel Hill -football games, basketball games or just for fun. Staff is always friendly, rooms clean, convenient to everything! more

For the fourth year in a row, we have stayed at The Carolina Inn while moving our daughter back into UNC at Chapel Hill. The Carolina Inn is centrally located on the edge of the campus and therefore within walking distance of the city's major attractions and restaurants. The main reason we stay there every time is the old world... more
