3 night stay... no housekeeping, no clean wash cloths, even after asking for them. Power went out no emergency lights in hallway or stairwells. No compensation. Would NOT recommend.

There was a storm and the power went out Saturday night and still had not come back on Sunday when we left. It is hard to believe there was not generator. We were not able to shower due to cold water only. Also, the noise from the room above us was insane until after 4:00AM. They were blasting music, talking loudly, and dropping stuff on the flower, like boulders. We could literally hear everything and I mean everything! It was disgusting!

The room was clean and staff was hospitable. There was a loud knocking noise that awoke us from our sleep at 3:00am. Cause unknown. Our room was a bit warm in the middle of the night. One of the elevators was out of order. Overall a decent 2 night stay.

The hotel is right in the middle of everything. Places to shop and eat... It's a very good location. The front desk staff was very friendly. They served breakfast downstairs... It was small but very nice. My bathroom wasn't very clean. I bought some stuff to wipe down the counter, sink, and toilet. I cleaned the shower as well. Otherwise the hotel was very nice, and I'd stay there again, and would recommend it to others.

This is the noisiest hotel I’ve stayed in in a very long time. The people above us were stomping and running and sounded like they were moving furniture until after midnight! Then there was knocking outside our room early morning, not knocking on our door specifically but just knocking sound that woke us up. I understand that the hotel was not responsible for the obnoxious guests, so not blaming holiday inn. But it was not the best stay because of noise!!!

This is an amazing hotel. We stayed here when Hurricane Helene brought a tree down onto our home last September. We needed a place to stay for a bit while the final repairs were being made to our home recently. As I went to check back in because we needed more time at the hotel, a worker told me that they would allow us to stay that time. But those of us that live within a 30 mile radius of Charlotte were not welcome. Apparently they had some bad experiences with local customers. I'm sorry to hear this. I just want everyone to be forewarned before they make reservations.
