Branden, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It sure is a uniquely themed and relatively small hotel, with basketball themed hardwoods, and headboards on each bed. The staff are great and the bar area is particularly nice. Facilities are limited and breakfast is not included. The building infrastructure Needs a little work as the AC unit was incredibly Loud, the loudest of any hotel I’ve ever stayed at and the concrete on the balcony was crumbling. I do think that the hotel was overpriced for the services on offer but you can’t beat the location.

The staff at the front desk was outstanding.

A walk down memory lane

We came for our 13th anniversary 28 years after meeting at Carolina as undergrads. The hotel had the perfect mix of fun- basketball headboards- with sophistication and comfort. Loved all the personal nostalgic touches- the keycards featured alumni and their “check in” and “check out” dates from their time at Carolina. Very relaxed and refreshed after a night there.

Great theme to the hotel. Near all of the restaurants and to UNC
Stephanie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Large room with quirky decor (shabby chic?) was clean and quiet. The helpfulness and friendliness of the staff, particularly "Shy" (who was not shy) made this a five star experience.
Arwen, 2-night trip

Unique property highlighting UNC Chapel Hill sports traditions. Conveniently located to campus and walkable to a number of restaurants. Front desk service and Trophy Room (staffed by Asia) were wonderful!
