The Graduate Hotel in Chapel Hill is an excellent location to visit the campus of UNC. There are tons of restaurants, shope, and so close to campus. You feel you are right in the middle of things. The room was clean and comfortable. The coffee and breakfast foods were perfect and reasonably priced.

I think it was nice and clean but I cannot believe what I paid for three nights vs what I could have got. It was great being on Franklin street but honestly the building was a bit more older than what I was expecting for the price. Again, it was nice but I found a luxury apartment with so much more space after the fact that was 1/3 of the price
