What guests think

Across recent reviews, SureStay by Best Western Charlotte Matthews draws mixed feedback: many guests praise friendly staff, budget pricing, and a convenient location near dining, yet recurring complaints cite dated facilities, cleanliness problems, and various maintenance issues.

Elevator malfunctions and inconsistent hot water or air conditioning appear repeatedly, alongside noise and cigarette or marijuana smells drifting into rooms and hallways. Housekeeping standards vary widely, with reports of stains, mildew, pests, and unclean common areas contrasted by a smaller number of clean-room experiences. Expect a no-frills stay where attentive staff and location compete with property wear and reliability issues.

No hot water. Lock on door was a nightmare, it was broken. Elevator had no lights on buttons and made loud noise’s when in use.

The staff was nice and breakfast was good. It was typical breakfast -waffles, eggs, sausage, cereal, bread. However, the elevator buttons didn’t work. It just stopped at each floor. Also, one of the bathrooms (we had 2 rooms) had a very slow filling toilet. You only had 1 flush and had to wait an hour for the tank to fill again. The other room didn’t have the toilet issues. Rooms were cleaned and when we needed extra bedding for a pullout couch bed, it was given.

Several things bothered me. The south entrance had a hugh hole in the pavement. The snack machine did not work even though it was full. Drink machine would not take my coins. The bath tub was rusted in several spots. The shower's water would not stay a consistent temperature. The wallpaper in the bathroom was peeling off. The refrigerator in the room appeared to be working, but my drinks were hot the next day. Just a sad place to stay.

My toilet barely flushed, and my shower at one point completely stopped putting water out , and kept going from cold to extremely hot. I paid extra to get what what’s a better hotel and it was dirty. There was trash in the stairwells and the elevator made the scariest sound. I would not go back.

The locations is great, it has breakfast included and Miss Carmen is super nice and helpful. The front desk is always there, they are nice and attentive. The only issue is the water, is super unstable pressure for the hot water if any, there was a few times when there was not working. Also the elevador is kinda scary since no light working on the board because of “maintenance”.

The hotel was not the most up-to-date. The elevator had issues and the hallways were absolutely freezing as if the air conditioning were on. The bathroom only had cold air blowing out of the vent, and if you put the heat on in the room, no matter the setting, it became a sauna within a matter of minutes. There was no way you could sleep with it on so you had to turn it off and you woke up in the middle of the night absolutely freezing. There were no directions on how to operate the safe and the coffee was terrible. There was one small waste basket in the bathroom, which we had to empty ourselves twice. There needs to be more waste baskets throughout the room. Since room service is not done unless you ask for it, we were constantly looking for someone to give us towels because we were only given two towels and two washcloths and we were going to be there for three nights. I would not recommend this hotel under any circumstances to anyone.

The staff was really great but the rooms were unkempt, leaky faucets and toilets . I found a used bandaid in my freshly “cleaned “ bed when we had to switch rooms because of poor plumbing , the bathrooms had hair on the floors and the smoke from cigarettes travelled to our non smoking rooms. The best thing about this place was the staff - all super friendly and accommodating but the rooms were very unclean.

The room was clean and comfortable while the building overall would benefit from cosmetic improvements. Breakfast was ok, but you had to present a ticket which you had to acquire from the front desk every day. Never experienced that anywhere else. Only real complaint is that I could frequently smell pot from my room which was right next an outdoor stairwell.

The staff here were nice, but the pictures look better than the facility itself. Once I arrived, the outside of the facility was very old and outdated, and once I got inside even more, so my room was clean, again. It just looked very old. I did not have any problems with staffing or anyone there as far as the ambience go. It just wasn’t up to my standards. I personally would not go back.

The front desk associates weren’t friendly. I was only greeted warmly by housekeeping as I was leaving the facility, which was as disappointing as my room (needs updating and the carpet deep cleaned). Had I not already prepaid for my room, I would’ve canceled and stayed elsewhere. My sleep was amazing, but the overall presentation left much to be desired.

Overall the area where the property was at was close to some malls you can do walking distance. Hotel is good for a quick stay. But some maintenance needs to be done In hotel. I had a friend stay the night and they ended up getting sinus congestion because rooms didn’t have cleanliness to vacuum nor sirculation of air and the smell from the air conditioner. So some things need to be fix.

While the staff was nice, I didn’t really feel safe as a woman traveling by herself staying at that facility. In my room particular, when I got there and went to look out the window, there was a homeless man with a bunch of trash and garbage bags right below my room. The rooms air conditioner did not get very cool, the coffee maker did not work, and most of the outlets did not work. And although I was offered to change rooms, I had just unloaded all of my stuff, so did not go with that. The sheets Are of the cheapest quality, the kind that make you sweat. I think a lot of people who do not have homes stay here, a lot of construction workers, so while a man might feel fine staying here, I am a traveling registered nurse and I did not feel fine.

I checked the reviews before booking—this place had great rating, and I figured we could manage a short night in an older hotel. Big mistake. While North Carolina’s roads are beautiful, the hotel’s parking lot was had potholes, trash on the ground, and overflowing garbage bins. Several homeless scattered around the parking lot which made the area feel unsafe with my daughter. Inside, the smell of marijuana. The elevator had some issues, the sheets looked old and worn. The only other access out of the hotels was via outdoor stairs, which had several blind spots—and one had a homeless person. Really! We stayed in the room for a short time left at night, rushing to our car and booking a different hotel. Never again.
