10/10 Exceptional

A walk down memory lane

We came for our 13th anniversary 28 years after meeting at Carolina as undergrads. The hotel had the perfect mix of fun- basketball headboards- with sophistication and comfort. Loved all the personal nostalgic touches- the keycards featured alumni and their “check in” and “check out” dates from their time at Carolina. Very relaxed and refreshed after a night there.

Cute and artsy, sheik hotel with fun decor

Cute and artsy, sheik hotel with fun decor. Big hit is the carpeted basketball court in middle of hotel with pillow basketballs. Hoops are standard 10 ft. Boys really enjoyed it! Latte coffee was decent in the restaurant. No laundry (we were baseball players so bummed about that stinky laundry had to be reworn LOL) and no ice machines but you could get ice at front desk. Floors made out of old basketball courts and headboards are basketball headboards. Cute touch. Presential suite could use an "uplift". Looks dated.
