"Staff & breakfast were great!"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Univ Area Chapel Hill

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, excellent breakfast, friendly property manager, very good staff at the Donald Ross bar and at breakfast. This is an ‘old school’, wonderful inn, like going back to the old South and gentleman golf, when being an amateur player was highly respected and playing for money was frowned upon"
