| - My mother and I, we decided to go to Charlotte for Thanksgiving, to see my sister, and her infant son. We also had her 2 dogs coming back with us. I also have 2 dogs of my own. Because of their age and need(s), we do not take them to the vet anymore, unless under extreme circumstance. So we decided to do a road trip with all four dogs! This was a first for us, and believe it or not, my 2 dogs as well.
So the first things first- finding a place that allows pets (that weigh about 40lbs a piece). Then trying to find a place near my sister. We had to choose between the courtyard and the doubletree. Same location, but the doubletree was only $89 a night compared to the Courtyard's $132 a night! Mind you, this is during the holidays as well! We only had to pay a $50 non-refundable pet fee too!
My dogs are sweet, but can get grumpy. We let them loose in the backyard, so we don't take them on walks often. With that being said, they like barking at children and women (OK, only one of them does that, the other just burrows her head in your crotch). So bringing them through the lobby was out of the question...
Thankfully parking is around back, (mind you, this place is literally across the street from South Park Mall, I mean by like 100 feet from Macy's entrance) and we were able to get them in and out with minimal damage. The parking spots were somewhat slim (I kept my car at my sister's house, while we traveled around in my mom's Escape), which was pretty much the only downside to the stay.
It was weird being in the elevator with my dogs for the first time. I mean they are each 11 and they are just now experiencing this! Thankfully, they did well.
When we got to the room, I was amazed at how large the room was. It was a 1BR suite (which was actually previously 2 rooms combined into one)- with 2 queens, and a sofa bed. I took the sofa bed and the kitchen area, one dog took one bed, the other shared with mom. Space here was perfect. I still couldn't believe it was only $89 a night!!!
Everything was clean in the room, and as you would expect from around a 3 diamond hotel. But the staff all around and the cleanliness really set it apart from other hotels of that type.
They also have a pool, and a Hertz rental center as well. Overall in general, this place has a lot of space. So I never felt cluttered.
This is one of the best hotels I have stayed at for the price, and location, and what they have to offer. I will def come back here if I bring my pets, and hell, maybe for that fact, even if I don't!!!
