What guests think

At The Siena Hotel, Autograph Collection, travelers consistently praise the exceptionally friendly service, comfortable and spacious rooms, and the popular on-site Italian restaurant, while the location works well for visiting UNC though it's a short drive from downtown.

Guests often mention the local shuttle and smooth check-in and check-out. Large bathrooms and very restful beds stand out, while some mention dated decor, occasional noise from adjoining or exterior areas, and small maintenance fixes. Some diners noted confusing menu differences and one isolated wine issue. Expect a comfortable boutique stay near UNC.

If I could add 6 stars for staff, I would. Staff were very engaging and incredibly accommodating of changes in our travel schedule, alliwing for late checkout and holding room when I couldn’t arrive the original day. The staff and the food at the in-house Il Palio restaurant is fantastic & it’s nice as dress casual. Not overly fancy. Great proximity to campus/shopping and highways. Very dog friendly w great walking areas nearby. I will return

Nice hotel in a good location. I have to commend Victoria(guest relations), Kim and Tony(bar/restaurant). Excellent service from all. However, menus are a bit misleading. There is the room service, restaurant and bar menus. All have good selections. But, I had to order from 2 to get the foods I wanted to try. Mixed green salad was tasty and fresh, roasted squash ravioli was amazing. Charcuterie board needed crackers, not bread sticks. Didn’t fit the vibe of the board. But, was still very good. To the bad, room was a bit dated and smelled musty(bathroom was very nice). I did order a bottle of wine with my room service and cork broke off in the bottle(possible wine storage issue?). After pouring a glass I noticed(few mins later) gnats in the wine glass. Also, found a huge dead(thankfully) water bug in the bathroom the next morning. All in all a nice stay. I wouldn’t rate this a 4 star hotel. But, a 3.5. Try the bar for an app and cocktail(Tony) and then have dinner in the restaurant. If their room service is anything like their restaurant, it should be amazing.

This is a quaint hotel with easy access to UNC-Chapel Hill and Duke. We loved the surrounding area with lots of walking paths, trees, and the best breakfast biscuits at the nearby drive-through biscuit place. Did not eat at the hotel but the Italian motif and outdoor seating looked inviting. Beds were comfortable and room was spacious, but towels were quite small. Would definitely stay here again.

Easy location for UNC. We didn’t use it but they do have a shuttle that will drop you off right on Franklin Street if needed. Our room was well-appointed, AC worked almost too-well;). There was an adjoined room and each time their door was opened or shut it so under line they were entering our room through the connecting door. More of a nuisance than anything. All in all an easy hotel for a quick night’s stay in Chapel Hill!

I was so pleasantly surprised gorgeous small hotel. The restaurant chef, food and staff are exceptional and made our Friday night dinner ultra special. The food is authentic Italian with a touch of southern charm. As a regular traveler to Italy-Capri, who knew I would find a Napoli server in Chapel Hill. The beds are wonderful and I slept like a baby. I cannot wait to return to this lovely town and stay at the Sienna again. Grazie Mille Chef Bob for making me and my guests feel so special!

This property was nice but not worth the money. We like to be able to walk to places to eat but the small town is a 10 min drive at least. Nothing to do around there you have to drive 30 min or more to get to something to do. Not worth the money in my opinion it's an overpriced average hotel. With little to no amenities. We came up for a wedding and my mother-in-law stayed at a Hilton 15 min from us and paid half the price and a shopping plaza with food places 2 minute walk from their hotel door plus they got free breakfast.
