My week at the Rizzo Conference Center was a wonderful experience. I had never heard of this place before, but they were offering training that I needed for my professional development and certification maintenance. The staff was friendly and helpful, the food was excellent, and there is a fast wireless internet connection. There is a mall and several shopping areas... More

The Rizzo Conference Center exceeded my expectations, which is not easy to do! They made the stay comfortable and calm, and the serene garden setting away from the hubbub of Franklin Street was lovely. The shuttle into downtown Chapel Hill was easy, convenient and free. Wi-fi is included, as well as Free(!) ice cream stocked in the handy and convenient... More

Greatly exceeded my expectations. Hotel, restaurant and conference facilities were great. Staff was very pleasant. Area was beatiful and close to running trails and just a few miles from downtown chapel hill. Don't miss out on the free ice cream treats on the second floor of the hotel. Only annoying thing was the super low flow shower head. It was... More

I stayed here for a recent conference and was pleasantly surprised at this facility. The rooms are clean and comfortable, if a little bit dated. The food was simply incredible, both at the mansion up the hill and in the conference center. Each floor in the housing wing also had a pantry with ice cream bars in the freezer. The... More

Since we would be in the Chapel Hill area for a Frightened Rabbit concert we wanted to find a place to stay so we would not have to drive back home so late after the concert was over. So glad we found the Rizzo Conference Center; what a fabulous place to stay! The front desk staff were great; loved the... More

Stayed at this hotel for the UNC - Duke basketball game. I don't really understand the glowing reviews. The room was small (but clean), but the queen bed had a springs problem and we both ended up rolling into the middle of it. The bedding included some sort of comforter/bedspread that is clearly not laundered after each guest, and a... More

The Rizzo Conference Center is a beautiful property just a short distance from the UNC-Chapel Hill campus. The shuttle to the campus is extremely helpful. The rooms are nice. Bed was very comfortable. Our group loved the lobby on the second floor. We also loved the free treats in the guest pantries. Breakfast at the DuBose House was a great... More
