Reviews for The Carolina Inn

Overall, best place to stay in Chapel HIll

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 day ago

Best customer service ever. Beautiful, historic hotel in the heart of UNC-Chapel Hill. I am an alum, at it was amazing to be back in Chapel Hill and stay in the lap of luxury! Food was amazing. Staff is excellent. Great location next to campus and easy walking to downtown.

Beautiful but paper thin walls

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

The hotel is beautiful, staff were pleasant and decor is tasteful. Beds are comfortable and rooms are updated. The only problem, which was mentioned in other reviews, is that the walls are not soundproof and paper thin. We literally heard people peeing in other rooms the whole night. I heard clear conversations between a family in the next room for hours before they went to bed. Zero privacy and a hug problem for an expensive and beautiful hotel.

So comfortable...

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 weeks ago

Excellent and beautiful hotel within walking distance of the campus and lots of restaurants! The hotel service was wonderful. It was a wonderful place to celebrate the wedding of a high school friend's kid as well as meeting with high school friends.

Very high quality hotel

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 weeks ago

Very high quality hotel with excellent facilities, great restaurant, comfortable beds, and excellent in room coffee machines. Recommended by a business colleague with plenty of lobby space for informal meetings and coffee . The gym is a tad smaller than I would like but still very well equipped. Virtually on the UNC campus and walking distance from excellent restaurants and bars...Will most certainly be back!

Mindful decor

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 month ago

Exceptional hotel ambiance. Pictures are accurately depicted. Item left by accident, item never recovered. Called day of check out regarding item was directed to housekeeping voicemail. Didn’t receive call back for two days. Called property again. A physical message was taken this time , later that day received a call saying they didn’t recover anything from room. I should have physically went back but was certain the property would hold the item for me. End of day my fault just disappointed. I’ve stayed at other Hyatt properties and left minuscule items and received a call regarding the item. That’s all.

My wife and I enjoyed a superlative stay at The Carolina Inn using a 3-night stay package we purchased via an auction from Luxury Link.

The Inn proved to be a wonderful location to enjoy a romantic weekend. The Inn itself is a graciously restored Southern Georgian-style building with lovely decor and furnishings and excellent narrative plaques throughout the facility which detail both its history and various expansions and restorations. The highlight of the Inn is its deservedly acclaimed restaurant Carolina Crossroads, which offers innovative cuisine that effortlessly and creatively marries locally grown Southern ingredients and cooking styles with ingredients and cooking styles drawn from other U.S. regions and other countries with a lovely dining room and outstanding and genteel service. The spacious guestrooms are nicely decorated and maintained with lovely guest amenities. In summary, The Carolina Inn is a true Southern belle!"
