Usually I stay in the Cary area when in NC for business; this time I decided to try the Chapel Hill area and found The Carolina Inn. The hotel had recently gone through renovations and as it was summer break at nearby UNC, we were able to secure a reservation. It far and away exceeded my expectations. Full of Southern,... More

Visited the Carolina Inn over the weekend from Florida for my cousins wedding. I room was breathe taking and from what we heard it just went through renovation. The staff was so helpful from the check in to the valet. For the actual ceremony was scheduled to be outside and we worried due to heavy rain. However, they did have... More

Not any wedding...this was my Son's! We had a great time here. The staff and food are #1. I would enjoy staying here again sometime for a weekend get away. It is located near Franklin Street where you will find many good restaurants, pubs and other establishments. The UNC campus is right next door so there are a lot of... More

I've stayed here previously in a room that had not yet been renovated. This time I was in a renovated room. The room was super-clean, quite lovely. The door to the room stuck in the doorframe and took quite a yank to shut properly. Housekeeping was finding this a bit challenging I think. The bathroom was perfectly functional, good hot... More

Last year we had lunch at the Inn during a road trip. We were so impressed that we returned for an overnite stay on May 19. At first, the front desk could not find our reservation. Due to a computer glitch the reservation sometimes list the reservation under the second guest's name. The front desk was professional and resolved the... More

This is THE place to stay in Chapel Hill. Gracious service, warm and inviting ambiance, finely appointed rooms, satisfying dining. Best location, too. What's not to like? My son will spend the next four years at UNC. I will be back . . . often

The room was really nice--outstanding comfy bed linen. Free WIFY, coffee pot, refrigerator, wonderful shower and bathroom, great evening turn down system in the evenings with chocolates and honey!. The staff were exceptional. The hotel was conveniently located on the UNC campus and near downtown Chapel Hill. I loved the tailoring of the floors to recognize notable UNC alum.

Besides the historical relevance of this hotel, you will find it tastefully decorated, clean and cozy. The staff could not be friendly enough and went out of their way to make us comfortable. The Inn is centrally located to the campus of University of North Carolina and we walked everywhere. There was no need for our car to get to... More

Very interesting spot--combination of historical (founded in 1924) and elegant. Room was a little smaller than the typical hotel, but more than adequate for comfortable living and easy working, though there weren't any available outlets close to the desk. Bedding was luxurious, and bathroom was well-designed and well-appointed. Breakfast was excellent, and staff was all very friendly and service-oriented.
