I absolutely LOVED my stay. The hotel was in the perfect location right on the lake . In the back of the hotel is a lovely boardwalk filled with different restaurants, attractions and things to do, beautiful view. This was a beautiful resort ! My hotel room was renovated, remodeled and clean !! Everything was perfect . This was a Five Star stay ! I’m from Pittsburgh PA and everytime I visit Charlotte this will be where I stay ! The only thing I think they should change is the pool hours. The pool closes at 7pm I believe that’s too early for the summer weather.
