Great overall experience

The hotel is very nice and in a very nice location. Only problem I had was I booked the hotel and when I checked in they swiped my credit card and charged me again. The next day my problem was taken care of right away by a very helpful staff. I would definitely stay here again on my next trip back to Charlotte.

Nice hotel

Great hotel for the price! The staff was very friendly. I arrived in town early and called the hotel. They were able to get me checked in a couple of hours early. This was extremely helpful to me. The room was very clean and cozy. The bed and linens were very comfortable. I didn't even want to get out of bed in the morning! The Cupboard was a great feature! We arrived back to the room late after a night on the town and were able to have some much needed food (microwavable frozen pizza). This was very convenient! Overall great value, friendly and helpful staff, clean room, and great location(very quiet). I will definately stay here again and would recommend it to anyone!

Very quiet & relaxing atmosphere

The room was very spacious & comfortable. The hotel location was convenient to the Verizon where our concert was held. Also, lots of food choices nearby.
