Noone was working the front desk when I checked in. The shower leaked which was clearly causing mold to grow in the bathroom. Hot water was hit or miss. The air conditioner only worked sometimes and was extremely loud. Some of the lights were also not operational. The floor was clearly not vacuumed for awhile. I will not be booking here again. This was not an ideal stay for the price.

I do want to say the customer service was excellent. When I first pulled up it was about 10 homelessness people gathered together. I got my room it was a guy standing outside yelling, clearly in drugs. The rooms wasn’t clean, it was crumbs on the covers. I didn’t feel safe at all.

The lobby smelled of old/habitual cigarette smoke when we arrived. We checked in, went to the room and the general area outside the room, as well as inside the room smelled of natural gas. We were given another room. The second room had a terrible smell as well, but not of gas, just a bad smell. The place is generally filthy with the lampshades by the bed being dirty and having what looked like dried blood on one. The bathroom wall also appeared to have some blood on it. We immediately checked out, losing 100% of what we paid for the room. Not the fault of the hotel, but there was a shirtless, shoeless man shuffling around outside who wandered into the lobby as we arrived. I'm not sure if he, or others with nowhere else to go are often there, but the hotel didn't seem to be in a great area. I will say that the front desk staff were very pleasant and greeted us immediately when we entered. But the property itself is rather disgusting.
Example of how dirty things were, this is the lamp next to the bed in the second room we were given.

My daughters liked the hotel, the only bad thing was at check in Hotels.com did NOT send the verification for room reservation/payment and it was CROWDED in a town with trafficking and my girls were NOT safe and had to wait 3 hours for their room. Also, if you could keep in mind gluten free/sugar free options that'd be great for breakfast. Great stay once they got in.

STEER CLEAR OF THIS AND ALL CHOICE HOTELS

Booked this location by mistake and IMMEDIATELY asked hotels.com to cancel the booking so i could book a hotel closer to my relatives in Charlotte, NC. The hotel REFUSED to grant the refund for a room i never used. Less than 45 minutes old reservation, it was early in the day and it wasn't hurting the hotel for me to cancel. There are many other choices in hotels, stay away from anything owned by Choice because they do not give a rats ass about the customer, that includes YOU.

Disappointing but tolerable.

Easy to find and a good location for food and activities. Comfortable bed and appliances worked well. However, the hotel is renovated old building but still showed ware that could easily be address, ie. shower lever missing, rust on metal bath surfaces, shower wand deteriorated, shower light/tub inop, a/c unit separating from the mounting. As a non-smoking establishment the smell of cigarettes was ever present in the hall and the room somewhat. I opened the window for an hour to flush the air out and I discovered a cigarette butt in the window slide track. I will consider this my last choice for future visits to the Charlotte university city area. Staff was courteous, and professional.
