I recently stayed at Chapel Hill University Inn for a UNC basketball game, and overall, I was really impressed with my choice. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The location was fantastic, just a short drive to UNC, though I did notice that the hotel is a bit dated with some amenities. Still, I would recommend this place for anyone visiting Chapel Hill.
