Beautiful decor, like all Graduate hotels. But service left a lot to be desired. No foam pillows, water not filled in the gym, food and drinks took forever to arrive and often cold. Very disappointed in this hotel.

The bones of the hotel are great and it is an ideal location but I miss the caliber of the bar and the breakfast options when it was the Franklin hotel. This is picky but the decor of the graduate with backboards for headboards was a tad over the top. Sorry! Still a good value for Chapel Hill and front desk and coffee bar staff was great.

Absolutely loved it!
Very clean and large rooms! The bathroom actually had a large counter top with plenty of storage underneath. The free parking in a covered lot was a real plus.
