    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    unc-themed decor
    welcoming ambiance
    accessible areas
    limited breakfast
    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.

    great fitness centre

    This place suits me perfectly, offering free wi-fi, a 24-hour reception, and a great fitness centre. I remember my first stay when the staff helped me find directions. Definitely recommend asking for a room with a balcony!

    would like to stay longer

    Big room with lots of light, a super comfy bed, and a beautiful view. It's got a hairdryer, ironing facilities, refrigerator, safety deposit box, tea/coffee maker, and telephone. Plus, the spa facilities were a relaxing touch. The basketball court on the 3rd floor was super fun too. Can't wait to return!

    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!
