La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Univ Area Chapel Hill

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Univ Area Chapel Hill

8/10 Good
"Sheets in one of the beds were dirty and a couple hand towels had stains. Great water pressure in shower/bathroom. Breakfast was straightforward with nice options. Cereal, biscuits and gravy, sausage patties, scrambled eggs, bread basket and fresh waffle maker, juice and hot coffee. Sadly, indoor pool was closed during our visit. Overall a good stay!"
