The bones of the hotel are great and it is an ideal location but I miss the caliber of the bar and the breakfast options when it was the Franklin hotel. This is picky but the decor of the graduate with backboards for headboards was a tad over the top. Sorry! Still a good value for Chapel Hill and front desk and coffee bar staff was great.

Very clean and large rooms! The bathroom actually had a large counter top with plenty of storage underneath. The free parking in a covered lot was a real plus.
