Fodor's Review:

A boutique hotel minutes from UNC's campus, The Franklin has helped sustain a renaissance on Franklin Street's west end since it opened in 2007. Its posh amenities, including marble bathrooms, in-room spa services, iPod docks, a pillow menu, and on-site parking (truly a luxury in Chapel Hill), lend an air of sophistication, while the understated elegant design of the building blends with the neighborhood's village aesthetic. Guests can people-watch from room balconies or mingle with the after-work crowd at Roberts, the cushy ground floor bar and patio. Service is spot-on, from the friendly hosts behind the counter to the well-versed bartender. The setting and the luxury combine to make guests feel at once part of the college scene but also far-removed from their everyday lives. Pros: high-tech in-room facilities include iPod docks and flat-screen TVs. Cons: Franklin Street location can get noisy when the campus is buzzing with students.
