This Fairfield Inn was very convenient to everything that we wanted to do in Charlotte. We were attending a concert at Skyler credit union amphitheater. It was less than 20 minutes from the hotel. The hotel seemed newer. The continental breakfast was good, the bed was comfortable, and it was a quiet hotel. Would definitely stay again.

All of the staff was nice from the check in desk to the cleaning crew. The continental breakfast was great & the ladies were so excited to see us that they gave my daughter a hug. We didn’t even know them but they welcomed us with open arms. Great place & close place to stay for the NASCAR race on Memorial Day weekend. Great experience!!
