Priority findings and recommended moves
- FINDING 01Each homepage callout title is repeated twiceObservation: the homepage repeats every callout title, creating a visible echo in the primary story. Business impact: repeated labels add noise and make the retro property feel like it is being assembled from an unfinished template.Recommended move: Keep one title per callout, then use the recovered space for a specific guest reason, a supporting image, and one relevant next step.
- FINDING 02Thirty-two named rooms need an easier comparison layerObservation: the property has 32 named rooms, but the current presentation does not give guests a quick way to compare room fit, layout, or stay intent. Business impact: a memorable inventory becomes a browsing task instead of a reason to choose Tar Heel.Recommended move: Create a room index with best-for, bed, capacity, and key amenity cues, then keep the selected room close to availability.
- FINDING 03The fishing, pool, and cookout story is separate from room choiceObservation: the retro identity and outdoor moments can differentiate Tar Heel, but they need to support the accommodation decision rather than sit as separate feature notes. Business impact: guests may remember the mood without understanding which room makes the trip work.Recommended move: Connect room cards to fishing mornings, pool time, and cookout evenings so the experience becomes a practical choice cue.
