Pot smell horrible outside, disgusting from outside the room through the window. We paid extra for a balcony and we could not use it because of the pot smell below. When they called from the front desk they would not change us to a similar room. Only a smaller one with no refund. No sympathy or help. Don't stay here.

Could this hotel be any cuter?! Seriously. They blended the North Carolina charm and UNC pride so well in the decor! The room felt very homey. The bed was comfortable. The shower was great. Loved the elliptical in the gym, too. They also have a carpeted basketball court in the center of the upstairs, which younger kids would love. What's even better is the hotel is located right on Franklin Street, near many stores and restaurants. It was very walkable to campus.

This property was great especially if you are visiting UNC or even if your just in the area and you are a HUGE sports fan! I had a King bed room with a balcony which I loved having the balcony to walk out on. The only complaint I had was the bathroom was VERY SMALL!! I couldn't open the door fully because it would hit the toilet.

Great location but not super impressed

Place was nice and so well located downtown. The rooms were OK but the bathroom was small and not well appointed. The room decor was purposely old fashioned. Bed was not super comfortable. I have stayed at other Graduates and this one disappointed slightly. Still a good place to stay if you can get a good rate. The staff were very helpful.
