Staff Excelled

Front desk, shuttle driver, wait staff were all exceptionally friendly! However, our room smelled smoky and did not have a balcony which was promised. Because we were on our way to a Checkers game, we were too short on time to ask for another, but I'm certain the staff would have taken care of it. The beds were quite comfortable.

Urban Delight

Hotel was excellent. Check-in and check-out were rapid, service was couteous by all I came in contact with, and the room was spacious (had a balcony on a 9th floor room) and clean. It was a downtown hotel with all the amenities you expect from a top hptel, and with a 10 min walk to the Time Warner Center for a Bobcats game.

Very Nice Hotel

This hotel is close to everything. I thought the amenities were comparable to most hotels. I really liked the room. The beds were incredibly comfortable with lots of pillows and down comforter. Hotel staff were excellent-the best feature of The Crowne Plaza.

comfortable

just one night to explore the city of Charlotte. There are other hotels that are closer to the nightlife, but this one worked just fine for me. It's located in a quiet area of town next to the courthouse and other government buildings, so it is really dead.

Great evening

I attended the John Edward event on Saturday evening. The event room was well laid out and easy to manuever and to see him. My hotel room (#711) was very roomy, spotless and quiet. However, someone needs to check the stability of the TV - I went to swivel it to watch from the chair and it tipped like it was about to fall over. I'm sure that just a screw or something on the mounting is loose but it needs to be checked.

Above Average Quality and Service

Skip the hotel restuarant and take a walk to the Epicenter area where you will find a bountiful array of restaurant and nighclubs. The staff is great about transportation around the local area. There is some morning issues with transportation and their commitment to the airline pilots, although they will not transport you to or from the airport.
