Comedy Concert in Charlotte

Great weekend! Hotel was right downtown near clubs and bars but not near our concert venue on purpose - the staff helped us get a car to the show $15 each way - perfect! The room was clean and inviting and modern - the hotel bar was great and the bartender was excellent! The front desk staff really did a good job of meeting all of our needs - i will stay there again when i am in downtown Charlotte for business or pleasure! I could not have asked for a better location or better staff - super friendly. Breakfast bar was a little pricey but there was a menu that you could order form that was reasonable - i just won't eat $12.95 worth of breakfast food but the bar looked good and if i had been with my family it would have been a great value for my sons and husband! Great place to stay and i will be staying there again!

All the clubs, bars and restaurants were within walking distance. I also noticed that the stadiums and discovery place were within walking distance. They have a great location that allows you to walk to many attractions

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.
