Reviews for The Carolina Inn
Classy comfort - Carolina Inn
The Carolina Inn is a gem! A fabulous location - walkable to UNC and downtown Chapel Hill. Our room was very well designed and appointed, as well as exceptionally clean and quiet. The room had everything we wanted, including a very comfortable bed. The Inn itself is a charming, 100+ year old facility that has been updated nicely, but consistent with the level of attention to detail and respect that you’d hope. A great place to visit when you want to celebrate a special occasion!

Made our hospital visit not feel so meh!
The staff was very welcoming especially late at night when we arrived at nearly 10pm. We had a quick dinner from the bar menu which was way better than expected and I love the option to add the pantry, it was a hit with my kids. Valet and the hospital shuttle were quick and easy, the young man who happened to be there both the evening we checked in and the following morning was extremely accommodating and even asked my son what kind of music he wanted to listen to which was very nice and I believe it helped make him feel more comfortable. I really appreciated the extra effort!

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!"
