People should be warned that the hotel is under construction! There was no lobby available and business center available. It is not right to not warn people that these amenities are not available when they are paying full price for a stay

Nice hotel that I have stayed at 5 or 6 times over the last 3 or 4 years. Unfortunately some type of construction materials took up most of the close parking spots and as luck would have it there was heavy rain that day

As of March 27, the property is undergoing construction and we had no idea when we booked. Hotel cancelled our next night but spent a long time on phone with Expedia and they still did not give a refund although they said they would. Pool is closed. Breakfast was great. But disappointed that we booked days before and no info about construction and Expedia did not follow through.

The property was clean and well taken care of. The only couple down side for me was the pool was closed for renovations and we were really looking forward to that. And the hotel was a little hard to find.

They have on website and show pics of pool. That's the only reason i booked here was to use pool with my family before our concert in Charlotte and in morning before check out. They have no pool i paid full price no discount and was told i can cancel and go some where else that has a pool. WOW. do better and take the pool off your website so other customers do not run into same issue.

The facility is under construction. There is nowhere to sit in the lobby for breakfast. Parking is marked off so we had to park in the next lot. Our room was nice until a giant roach came out and started jumping at us. However, the staff was okay.

The shower floor was not cleaned properly. There was a lot of hair that I ended up cleaning out before using. The pool is under reconstruction so you can’t use it. The breakfast could have better options for individuals that don’t eat beef or pork. Consider serving turkey options as well.

This was an ok stay, but I would say be mindful they are doing renovations so the rooms are looking better but it’s still an older hotel in some areas. ALSO try to avoid the first floor. There were a lot of bugs we encountered every day including gnats, mosquitoes, spiders and we even had a roach in the bathroom one night. However the staff was very friendly and helpful.

Website said remodeled in 2023 but there were issues with room. Mold could be seen that was chalked over, stains on floor, and around the shower, rust on ceiling in shower, the shower floor was dirty/stained and shower shoes needed. Molding pulling away from wall. Ceiling over sink had a small hole and stained. No door to separate room from sink and light which was very bright, loud and not private for those sleeping. Manager offered another room which was only slightly improved but no other rooms available the same size due to being at capacity. He did give 5000 Marriott points as compensation but since room was booked thru Expedia, could not adjust my bill and I contacted Expedia to get an adjustment on the room but they just said they would reach out to the hotel. Room was definitely not worth $378.00. Hotel also added a $20.00 per day incidental charge that Expedia failed to disclose. They did remove these charges at discharge.

Traveling for work, 6 night stay. King bed suite with a walk in shower, separate TV/sitting area, full size desk w/office chair, and mini fridge & microwave. Crisp clean linens and towels. Great location. Safe and well lit parking lot. Loads of restaurants within 1-2 miles, although none really in walking distance. Property is in the University area with easy access to the freeway and main north/south streets Tryon and W.T. Harris. I make it to my office in uptown Charlotte in 20-30 minutes depending on traffic. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Hot breakfast with real eggs, bacon, & juice plus all the usual grab-and-go items you get at lesser chain hotels. My favorite place to stay in Charlotte unless I need to be right downtown.

The hotel was clean and comfortable. The staff could be a little more consistent with information at check in. While standing in line waiting to be checked in, I overheard some information relayed to the guest in front of me that was not relayed to me when I checked in. Such as the time for breakfast, details about Wifi and so on. On my first visit, there was no one covering the front desk, there was a guy in the back on a computer, but I waited for about 10 minutes before I was acknowledged. On my second visit, I it seemed that one of the team members had a visitor that was hanging around the check-in desk. Though my stay was pleasant and I will stay again, I really feel that the first impressions at the front desk should be worked on a little bit. Overall the stay was fine, I really have no other complaints.

The property was overbooked. The manager called and stated that they have booked me a sister location. Which was out of the way, the new hotel was ran down, the lobby smelled and soon as i went into the room it smelled even more. The parking lot looked unsafe and in a unsafe environment. I literally came up from almost a 3 hour drive with my son's and boyfriend for the Nascar race. I had to drive back home because once I called the hotel back to express my concern they state that was the only offer they would be giving because they were not charing me for the room. This was the worst experience I've ever experienced with ANY hotel chain. Signed a disappointed customer.
