Reviews for The Carolina Inn
Amazing Friday in Chapel Hill
Beautiful property! Phenomenal room with great vibe. Very welcoming! It’s a great place to relax and enjoy the town. Amazing staff and so courteous.

A fabulous wedding venue!
We recently had my daughter's wedding at the Carolina Inn and it was a perfect event! Kayla worked with us on every detail and was extremely kind and patient wth our MANY questions over the months. She helped to keep us on track and ensured that we had all of our ducks in a row for the big day. The food was fabulous, and the staff were attentive and helpful. Caroline's assistance was invaluable as well in booking the many rooms that we needed for out of town guests. All in all, we would not change a thing!

Southern charm
We were there for sports at UNC. The location is amazing - close to the campus and also to Franklin street. The hotel is lovely with many amenities. We especially liked sitting outside on the porch having dinner.

Nice hotel, horrible management
We had a wedding block and our suite was not ready because “a Hyatt executive was in the room”. We had multiple events over multiple days and the hotel even tried to violate parts of the contract we signed. Totally pretentious and obnoxious place- I can’t believe Hyatt is associated with them (or maybe I can?)

Southern Style
There is a reassuring charm about this place. You are greeted warmly by the men who take your car and right on through your stay. My room was comfortable but was one with an adjoining door which lead to some bothersome noise from next door at night. There is a charge for almost everything which given the basic price might be reviewed. The food was very, very good.

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!"
