    no snacks

    The vibrant UNC-themed decor throughout the Graduate By Hilton Chapel Hill truly resonated with me. From the charming basketball court in the courtyard to the cozy lounge areas, the aesthetics were both welcoming and accessible for seniors.

    Improve breakfast options with more variety.

    comfortable room
    great amenities
    expensive parking

    I really loved the cozy Graduate King Room Balcony we stayed in, especially with the electric teapot for my morning coffee and the spacious terrace. The gym had some great treadmill options, and the leisure room was the perfect chill spot after a long day. Just a heads up, the parking fee could be a bit of a bummer, but it's just a minor thing in an otherwise awesome stay! 😊

    great access to parks and local attractions for city walks

    I had a fantastic stay here with my single traveler experience, truly enjoying the short walk to both the Ackland Art Museum just about 500 meters away and the cozy nearby cafe, Perennial Cafe, only a few steps from my room. it's easy to immerse yourself in the charm of the area without needing to drive anywhere, but the AC in my room was a bit loud during my stay.

    vibrant bar
    noisy air conditioning
    limited breakfast options

    Loved grabbing a bourbon honey cocktail made with rooftop honey at the Trophy Room bar! Plus, Crunkleton's cocktails are top-notch—they're a game changer! The hotel is a stone's throw from killer local spots, keeping you fed and happy.

    The air conditioning was louder than a basketball game! Also, no real breakfast options—pre-packaged muffins just don't cut it.

    vibrant campus
    cozy atmosphere
    extra seating

    We loved exploring the vibrant campus and the basketball theme around the hotel. Our elderly parents especially enjoyed the comfortable lounge area. The decor was charming and created a cozy atmosphere for our family gatherings.

    In my wife's opinion, extra seating in the larger common areas would be great for families.

    Exceptional Stay with Delightful Amenities

    From the moment we checked in, our family was welcomed with warmth by the attentive staff. The comfortable room with a balcony offered us a peaceful retreat. Don't miss the delicious homemade nachos at the bar, and ask for Jasmine's famous margaritas. Great spot for family time!

    Fun Family Atmosphere with a Unique Basketball Court

    Our family enjoyed a fantastic stay with stylish rooms and a delightful basketball court that the kids absolutely loved! The grocery bar offered creative cocktails utilizing local ingredients, making it a pleasant hangout after a day of exploring. However, I was disappointed by the lack of breakfast options, as pre-packaged items didn't meet expectations for a hotel of this caliber.

    I loved using the small but functional fitness room, and it was a treat to have daily housekeeping for the first time in a while! The relaxation opportunities were great too, with comfy lounging areas and a cozy bar to unwind at. 😊

    convenient cocktails
    spacious balcony
    friendly staff
    bed configuration issue
    subpar coffee

    If you’re hitting the food scene while in Chapel Hill, check out Crunkleton for cocktails that hit the spot like a Hail Mary in March Madness! The balcony at my 5th-floor room was a sweet surprise, perfect for a post-food coma chill. The staff? Totally on point and made the stay even better.

    Had a little hiccup when we checked in—ended up with a king bed for three people! The air mattress? Let’s say it was more of a floor partner than a sleep buddy.

    The vibe was electric, with that UNC homage throughout. Perfect for a fam reunion!

    No free coffee bar? And breakfast was just pre-packaged muffins? ! Really disappointing for the price, and it felt like the rooms were a tad on the small side.
