I had to return to the front desk three times to get into a room which was actually clean. The first two that I was given had not even been visited by the cleaning staff and in one of these, there was vomit on the bed. There was no apology or any effort made at reparations.A horrible experience to endure after traveling for hours and needing a rest.

The hotel was terrible but it also wasn’t great. There were black spots all over the headboard that I made sure to take pictures of so I wouldn’t get blamed for damages. There was also spots in the nightstand and the lamp was broken and ac unit door was broken as well. Def not a up to date hotel. I also didn’t like that it wasn’t clear that a $75 hold would be placed on my card. That was a huge inconvenience especially because I was only staying 1 night.

A fine hotel, but...

This hotel is a good bargain and had everything you would hope for in a moderate priced hotel. It was sparkling clean and well re-modeled. The owners invested a lot to bring it back. homeless people and drug dealers inhabited a short street behind a nearby shopping center. Why is the City of Charlotte so NEGLIGENT in allowing this? Charlotte voters should be outraged at crooked politicians for allowing this kind of anti-business activity to fester in in their city.
