The beds are by far the best I've ever slept in.
The rooms with a balcony only overlook the back of an old run down building.

I've stayed at the Franklin Inn a couple dozen times and as always I am completely satisfied with the great service and amenities the offer. It may not be the highest star hotel in the Chapel Hill area but it is certainly one of the nicest with the best location. Thanks for another great trip!

Beautiful rooms, very clean, great location!
Staff was terrible from front desk to bell cap. Maids did not speak but were efficient.

The hotel is very clean, nicely decorated and in a great location. The staff is the worst I have encountered in years. They are apathetic, very unfriendly, and not knowledgeable of the area.

Great location with wonderful restaurants nearby, lovely walking area next to UNC.
Failed to provide more shower gel and only one bar of soap for sink.
