“It is my opinion that this property presents a puzzling dichotomy; the lobby makes a strong first impression, but some rooms don't appear to reflect the same level of care and investment. I also noted that its Italian restaurant, Il Palio, holds the distinction of being the only 4-diamond establishment of its kind in the area. Despite some reported issues, the pet-friendly policy and convenient location near UNC remain notable advantages.”
