Courtyard by Marriott Chapel Hill offers a mixed experience for guests. The hotel is noted for its friendly staff and convenient location, particularly for those visiting UNC Medical Center or attending events at the nearby Friday Conference Center. However, many reviews indicate that the property is on the older side, with dated rooms that could benefit from updates and a thorough cleaning. Guests have described the rooms as clean but warn that the beds are extremely firm and the furnishings seem worn. The hotel features a hot tub that some found underwhelming and a gym that is described as small. Despite these drawbacks, there are positive mentions of the comfortable king-size beds and helpful staff, including commendations for Alonzo at the front desk and Tim at the breakfast bistro, who provided excellent service. Breakfast options include a hot choice or cold items, with some guests enjoying the quality of their meals. Overall, while the hotel has its shortcomings, it remains a convenient option for travelers looking to access nearby facilities and attractions.
Close enough to UNC Chapel Hill. There should be free parking at this hotel but they charge a fee. Rooms are tidy. The lobby is clean and plenty of space to get work done.

Fridge wouldn't stay cool. Had to get repeatedly for drinks. The in room phome didn't work and 1 day the bistro opened very late for breakfast. The room was quite nice and traffic noise wasn't a problem.

Okay rooms but lobby and corridos smell musty.
Wet towels were left on the floor. Coffee maker was so dirty (even more than regular) and had an oily residue
