A solid clean hotel that's squarely in the three star category, the Crowne Plaza in Charlotte is a bit off the main downtown core. Which is not always a bad thing, just plan accordingly with your activities. Inside the rooms are a bit dated but clean and reasonably spacious. Smaller LCD TV, in room coffee machines, don't expect anything too fancy here. But for a quick stay, this hotel will work in a pinch. And it's definitely cheaper than the more conveniently located hotels. Probably prefer the Holiday Inn downtown but why can you do?
For the price the Crowne Plaza is fine. It is still located in Downtown Charlotte but you'll just have to walk a bit more to get to the core. But if you want to go to the courthouse or City Hall you're in the perfect spot!
