| - When I was on one of my many trips to Charlotte to help my sister get her new house situated. Low and behold we had issues with getting the water set up. To make a long story short, we weren't going to spend the night in a house without any water, so we needed a place to stay.
Since it was the middle of the week and not the weekend, I was looking for something decent that was under $175 a night. With AAA, I was able to score a room for $158 (before tax) a night.
It was nice, because we got there around 10PM, and were able to get a room no problem (did NOT make reservations). The gentleman at the front desk was very friendly and got us situated immediately. I liked the fact how there is 10 stories of parking, and then the hotel (which explains how/why the elevator ride was longer than expected). We were on H1, the main floor. They even had a pool (didn't bring the trunks though)!
Sis brought her son (6mos) and we asked for a crib. They brought it up immediately, and were very friendly. We had 2 queen beds, a 30ish inch TV, and plenty of space. The room itself was immaculate, and I was impressed. The bathroom was also very clean, but you could tell it was dated (compared to the sleeping area).
All in all, I got plenty of sleep (but apparently I snored enough sis wanted to smother me- I told her thats what happens when my sinuses are dried!) and it was a great time.
We didn't utilize any services/bar/fitness- but WiFi was included with the room. We parked there- which was $10/night, and all you needed was your room key to get in and out.
AAA rates this place 3diamond, and I give it 4 stars while being in that category (as I have unfortunately given 4diamond hotels a 2 star rating, if that makes sense). So for the type of hotel this is and the location, it is def a great choice. Good job Marriott!
