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.

Absolutely loved it!
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.

My 14 yr old son had a severe allergic reaction to the sheets on the bed. Had to go to UNC ER at 3am for emergency medical treatment. His entire body covered in hives! So irresponsible of this hotel chain to launder their linens in such a fashion as to cause such suffering! We will never return!
