| - Finding a home away from home is tough, but Residence Inn Charlotte Concord made the search as easy as 1-2-3.
I stayed here for eight days for a business trip and I couldn't have been more impressed with my suite. The kitchen was clean and neat, stocked with a full set of plates and silverware, a fridge, a stove top, a microwave, a dishwasher, a sink, as well as plenty of empty cabinets. Even though I barely used the kitchen, it was really nice to have, especially whenever I had leftovers from dinner.
The living room and seating area was organized and clean. I had a great selection of channels to watch on the T.V so it was a great way to unwind after a long day at work. The large king size bed was roomy and the lamps on either side of the bed had an outlet that made for a convenient charging station for my phone and laptop. I had also signed up for an elite member program so I was able to use private wifi that had a consistent signal.
One of the most important criteria for me when it comes to hotel rooms is the bathroom, specifically the water pressure. Most of the time, I encounter bathrooms that have weak and sometimes nonexistent pressure so I either take a long shower or feel not as clean as I would when I shower at home. But this bathroom was amazing. The tub was clean, there were plenty of towels of various sizes, and the shower head produced a strong, heavy stream.
On top of the well-designed room, the hotel also provided free breakfast from 6:30 am to 9:30 am where they offered fresh scrambled eggs, turkey patties, oatmeal, yogurt, fruit, various grains (that you can toast), make-it-yourself waffles, and juices. I love how everything was labeled and that the counter was very neat. The employees consistently replaced anything that ran out and there was plenty of space to accommodate a large group of people.
The gym was a bit small, but it did have an indoor pool next by which was incredibly nice, even though I didn't use it. The lobby is spacious with two computers that you can use to print out your boarding pass or anything else you may need. The team of employees at Residence Inn always greet you with a big smile as well as with a sincerity that makes you feel as if they truly value you as a customer.
This was the first very trip I took without my family or my hubby so I was certainly out of my comfort zone. But staying here at Residence Inn made my experience so comfortable that sometimes I forgot I was homesick at all.
So thank you, Residence Inn, for taking such good care of me.
