Love the location and historic relevance to the university- don’t like the ‘upgrades’ that Hyatt imposed- the hotel has lost some of its charm.

I found a used (almost empty) water bottle close to the curtains/window and thought it was nasty. I liked the decor and the “NEST” amenities, but wouldn’t go back.

Old Southern Charm
We were visiting UNC with our prospective student daughter and this hotel couldn’t be better located.
The place exudes history and southern charm and hospitality were in abundance.
Rooms were tastefully decorated, beds extremely comfortable and the bathrooms were clean with ample room and shower pressure.
We will def recommend Carolina Inn to anyone visiting UNC and look forward to staying there many times over the next 4 years.
