Great weekend trip

We stayed at the Holiday Inn as we were attending the Bobcats vs. Cavs game on 1/16. Location was perfect for bars and restaurants and only a block away from the arena. Only downside was parking cost $15 a night. 4 stars nonetheless

Time Warner Arena Event

Accommodations were OK. Close proximity, but late night clubs on next street were really load until early morning. Hard too get a good night rest with all the noise. Don't know if I would stay again with all the loud music.

Charlotte

Great location! I was disappointed that there was a daily charge of $15 for self parked cars. Also, I have stayed at this hotel before and had a great looking, modern decorated room, but this time the room seemed cheaper somehow and not quite as clean. Overall, the location makes up for a lot, but for the money I'm sure there are better rooms available in Charlotte City Center.

Nice Location

Staff was great. Very helpful and pleasant. The room is an average room. Nothing special about the room. Would have been nice to have a little fridge and or microwave. I would say expensive for the room but you are paying for the location. Perfect location for walking to everything. IMO, good for a weekend stay.

The Perfect Hotel

The service was outstanding. From the time you arrive, the valet is there waiting for you. The bell man is ready to take your luggage. The hotel representative where very curtieous and attentive. Great location and access to evertything. We went to a All American Basketball game. Went to eat at our favorite sports bar. This by far is the best hotel we stayed in. We have been in Charlotte numerous of times. This one beats all.

Clean, Modern, Great Location

The hotel was clean and comfortable, and the location was perfect. Easy walk to many bars and restaurants. We only stayed one night, so we didn't have an opportunity to check out the hotel's restaurant, but it seemed to be popular. Overall, a very good stay.

Holiday Inn

Let me start by saying that the hotel was of quality and the staff were very nice. They were very accomodating and we appreciated their stellar customer service. We didn't realize that there was a convention in town. We didn't quite enjoy our trip the way we had planned. The streets were very crowded and we didn't get to enjoy the city sights. The hotel was worth it, unfortunately, the weekend we chose was not.
