Top University of North Carolina Hotel Reviews

Residence Inn by Marriott Chapel Hill

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was only for a night as I was having a major surgery at the UNC Surgery the next day. Worth it. We loved it."

Tru by Hilton Chapel Hill

8/10 Good

"Hotel was clean and staff was friendly. Our room wasn't ready even though we arrived 4 hours after available check-in time, but they took care of us in a timely manner. Water pressure in the shower wasn't good, but I haven't been to any hotel in the past few years that has had a decent shower. Paying for parking on top of the hotel rate is ridiculous."

AC Hotel by Marriott Chapel Hill Downtown

8/10 Good

"Convenient to campus and to restaurants on Franklin St"

Rizzo Center, a Destination by Hyatt Hotel

8/10 Good

"The staff and the wait staff at the restaurant were lovely and accommodating. Unfortunately, our hvac would not go below 75 degrees. They tried to repair the unit when we were there but the next night we had the same issue."

Hampton Inn & Suites Chapel Hill-Carrboro/Downtown

8/10 Good

"Large room, double pane windows, parking right next door, good central location walking distance to several restaurants and a supermarket with a hot and cold buffet."

Courtyard by Marriott Chapel Hill

10/10 Excellent

"I had a great stay at the Courtyard in Chapel Hill! The staff was very friendly and kindly accommodated my request for an early check-in. I’d definitely stay here again."

Rizzo Center

10/10 Excellent

"It was fantastic, the complimentary breakfast was excellent and the staff were very helpful the only down side for us as we did not have a car they do not do dinner. But we can’t praise them enough."
