Directions to Chapel Hill InnTown
NOTICE !!!!!! MANY GUESTS HAVE DIFFICULTY FINDING OUR LOCATION USING MAPQUEST OR GPS SYSTEMS. THIS INCLUDES TAXICABS AND OTHER SHUTTLE SERVICES. There are several apartments visible on the Google Maps "Street View". They are numbered similar to ours (#1, #2, #3, #4, etc.) but these are NOT our apartments. We are located above those apartments at the top of the hill. You should print the directions below and bring them with you in case you have difficulty accessing the internet. We are sometimes unavailable to give directions over the phone. If you do not follow these directions, you most likely will have difficulty finding us.
