Wouldn't recommend to anyone!

2.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 8 Jul 2012
Aside from a convenient and quiet location, this place has little to offer. The 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath unit that we stayed in looked like a thrift store showroom. If I had to guess, I'd estimate that the sheets and towels were no less than 20 years old. The cheap polyester bedspread was of similar vintage. The carpet was dirty, everything was dusty, and there were cobwebs in the corners and at the interior door frames. The pull-out sofa included a board under the cushions to correct the sofa's saggy-ness. The type written directions (of which there are many) elaborated on the plywood feature of the sofa. Aside from the place being run-down and dirty, there's a "creepiness" factor about the whole situation. We were here for student orientation and will be in Chapel Hill many times over the next four years. We will not stay here again.

We are sorry that this family was unhappy with our condos. I wish they had mentioned to us upon arrival that there were any issues and we would have been glad to correct. We hope the reader will look at all the positive reviews below that we have from our numerous satisfied clients, many of whom return year after year.

If you're looking for something more than just a bedroom and a bathroom then you should consider this alternative to the cookie cutter hotel rooms. I was amazed at the extras that were included for the same price or less than I would have payed at a medium priced hotel in the area. My unit included a full kitchen, a living area with fireplace, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. It was also very conveniently located to the UNC campus and downtown area. This would be perfect for a family looking for more space and kitchen to cook in to save on eating out.

Accommodations are spacious and met our needs. Since we were staying with our two young grandchildren, it was much nicer to stay in a townhouse rather than a single motel/hotel room. Townhouses are equipped with all basic necessities and are located in a very quiet area. They are reasonably-priced and price includes free parking. The owner is pleasant and professional. Townhouses are conveniently located near hospitals, restaurants and shopping.

Excellent place to stay in charming Chapel Hill and a good alternative to a hotel. Walking distance to campus. Features a fully stocked kitchen, laundry in apartment and plenty of space for those traveling with family. The owner is beyond helpful if you need local tips etc. A 2 minute walk away there are several restaurants and an excellent bookstore.

We stayed in this town house--short term rental. It was clean and gave our family plenty of space to relax. Being walking distance from campus was very helpful. and it was so nice to have a kitchen. It was perfect for graduation weekend- I would go back anytime.

I was visiting my son and needed a room within walking distance from UNC. The Chapel Hill InnTown fit the bill perfectly. This is really an extended stay facility, so the "room" is really an apartment with full kitchen, washer/dryer, den etc. I stayed in Unit #3 for just one night. The rate was cheaper than the other local hotels. The apartment was very clean. The building is located behind another building but was easy to find with the instructions provided. I recommend this facility to anyone who wants to stay near the UNC campus.
