Staff was great and helpful. The room was nice enough. The walls are very thin and can be a problem if you have a noisy neighbor. Our window AC was also not working fully and started having issues. Our sink also was not draining properly. Make sure to pay for your parking which is separate.
The front desk was helpful and courteous. The room was really simple and clean and just what we needed.

I was shocked to discover that there is now a parking fee for use of your parking lot. We have stayed at this Tru hotel many times and not only was this a surprise, but not listed on your web page.
Your staff is very helpful and friendly. The main desk clerk, Daniel, was outstanding and the breakfast buffet crew were always friendly and helpful with some easy food. I was also surprised that a light housekeeping was listed for an overnight stay yet none appeared.

This was a very nice hotel with clean and new accommodations for an affordable price. The staff was also very sincere and cordial. The hotel offers a buffet breakfast and is convenient to UNC-Chapel Hill and the Dean Smith Center.

Staff was friendly, rooms were clean, and nice amenities!
Good hotel with a great location while visiting my daughter at unc. The comforter on the bed is way too thin but the beds are comfortable. Staff was extremely friendly. Only downfall was no coffee maker or hot water machine in the rooms but they did have it available in the lobby. Nice touch to hand us water and a snack when we checked in.
Breakfast was awesome!! I was in town for a post op appointment. The girls at the front desk took such good care of me as I was by myself!!! Room was great!! Price was great!!
