Centrally located hotel. Near University business district, University, and botanical garden. Bed was very comfortable and linens were soft. Restaurant had a nice selection and bar staff were friendly and knowledgeable. There were quite a few students lounging around outside that made it difficult to find a seat.

Tired old hotel that is among the most overrated I have ever experienced. Paper thin walls and floors make for a night at the Oberlook hotel - sounds like someone is coming for you all night long. Finishings are dated and almost gross. Service comes not with a southern smile but the arrogance that can only come from a hotel that has been here forever and is living off a reputation from another era. 8a look at the two maids baskets in front of my door that woke us up. Stay at the sienna or the graduate if you want a newer cleaner nicer experience.

Room Tip: Valet parking is a joke. It’s essentially the same lot as regular parking! Paying for nothing.

As a student, UNC, I always wanted to spend a little more time in this inn. Now that I’m on alumni, I’ve gotten experience it firsthand, and it’s very charming. Be cautious about suite upgrades, however, as you may end up with less beds than you anticipated. Almost upgraded to find out I would not have enough beds for my party. Very nice rooms though even for just the basic rooms.

We have explored many Chapel Hill hotels, this is the best. Rooms are comfortable. Staff is excellent. Offers great location within UNC campus (love to take morning and evening walks). Dining at Crossroads has been a plus. New lobby looks great.

The Carolina Inn was our home base for a recent wedding weekend in Chapel Hill. We had a wonderful time. The accommodations, food, service, housekeeping, location and convenient parking were outstanding. Always a treat and memorable stay at The Carolina Inn.

Great location and hotel. Food was better than expected at the Crossroads restaurant - loved the hamburger and turkey sandwich. Room was nicely appointed and the staff was excellent. The wedding event we attended was great in the ballroom and the Old Well room.

Carolina Inn is situated perfectly in Chapel Hill. Staff is very accommodating and very clean. Book the park and breakfast package. The valet parking is great! Sunday brunch is amazing. Gorgeous lobby space and a 10-12 minute walk to Franklin Street (restaurants, shops). This hotel is also on the grounds of UNC Chapel Hill which was useful. Staff sincerely wants you to enjoy your stay.
