| - I'm a big fan of Residence Inn properties and this one was just fine. I actually hardly saw the place, to be honest as we arrived at 12:30 AM on a Saturday night, the night before the Coca Cola 600 NASCAR race. After a painless check in, where the desk person provided us with some cold waters, we trudged off to our room and fell into bed. We had a HEAVY suitcases as we'd been vacationing a while and were bummed to have to carry them upstairs, but they hotel was sold out and our bad... our profile asks for a high floor, which I didn't think to check when I booked here. Ah well. We used Marriott points to stay here so not sure what they were charging for that weekend, but I don't think it was too much because they provided some pricing for the following year in the rooms and it looked affordable.
We sleepily rolled out of bed when we awoke, showered, dressed and headed to the free breakfast. It was the usual fare with hot and cold foods. Liked that they had biscuits and gravy (love the south!) and they had waffles, eggs, assorted breads, etc. The usual. nothing was spectacular, but it filled the void, the staff and guests were friendly and we were in and out, headed off to our event.
When we got back late again that night, same drill... up the stairs and into bed and then we headed out at the crack of dawn to catch a flight home, so no time for the breakfast that day.
I was glad that we were so busy or I would have been disappointed to find that there was no Jacuzzi at this location. I think thi sis the first RI that I have been to without the Jacuzzi and that is a deal breaker for me when I travel because I don't have one at home. They do a have a pool, but it's pretty dinky, and a tennis court.
Because they were booked up, parking was tight, but we managed to get spots both nights.
Lots of construction taking place on the road around it, so it's a little tricky getting in and out of there, but otherwise, this was a good stay.
Great AC, good shower (except that it didn't drain properly... how do cleaning people miss this stuff???), comfy bed and even though I didn't use it, love having the kitchen. It worke dgreat for the short weekend visit... don't know if I would be happy there on a longer trip, though.
Also, lots of stores and restaurants nearby, so that is handy. Location is AWESOME for hitting up Charlotte Motor Speedway. It's like less than 5 miles away and on the same street! Although, I think if I were to do it all again, I would probably have selected a property near the airport since we were flying out so early in the morning after the race. Something to think about.
