Staying at this hotel was like stepping into a Tuscan villa in the heart of Chapel Hill with beautiful fountains, marble touches, and modern rooms. The rooms were spacious and extremely clean and comfortable, but needing to go to the gas station next door for an ATM and the somewhat tired decor were minor drawbacks. The small restaurant's insistence on making reservations for breakfast was a minor hassle, though they eventually accommodated my request.

Wow, what a stay! The hotel rooms are super spacious, larger than your average hotel room, but unfortunately, my suite was right on the front, so I could hear every car leaving in the morning and people chatting loudly at night. The service was top-notch, with the staff making their own bread, pasta, and gelato - incredible! The location is pretty excellent, although a bit oddly inside a 'cutout,' but it's just a short ride away from fantastic food options. The dining experience was a delight, especially the delicious grits and blueberry pancakes – a lovely start to my mornings.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, while initially showing a stained bed runner and needing an ATM trip to the nearby gas station, ended with a pleasant surprise of being bumped to a suite. The decor was a bit tired, and the small restaurant initially gave me a hard time about breakfast reservations but eventually accommodated. However, the suites turned out to be huge and comfy with spacious baths and all the necessary amenities, offering a relaxing retreat.
