| - My husband and I stayed at this hotel for a night when we were in Charlotte for a concert.
Located in the University Park area of Charlotte, it is about a 15 minute drive from downtown (uptown), however, it is much more reasonably priced than the hotels in that area which is why we chose to stay here. There are lots of chain restaurants nearby with TGI Friday's sharing the same parking lot.
We arrived in time for the (free) happy hour. We were given two drink tickets, good for beer, wine or mixed drinks. My husband and I both went for cocktails, which were good. They also had a lot of food set out, including pasta with meatballs, hot dogs, nachos, veggies and salads. Definitely much more than expected from a free happy hour and enough to make a light dinner if we didn't already have other plans.
Our room was a pretty standard hotel room, but it was noticeably clean and clearly well-taken care of. I think they allow dogs at this hotel, but you would never know by how clean the whole place is. Wifi was also free in the hotel rooms.
The bed was a little on the harder side from what I'm used to at home, but still pretty comfortable. In the mornings they have a free breakfast buffet with items like biscuits and gravy, waffles, scrambled eggs, etc. Unfortunately, we slept too late after the concert to make it by the cut-off time (9:30 AM).
They also offer free soft drinks and popcorn all afternoon until the evening for guests of the hotel.
Overall, as mentioned, this is a pretty standard hotel as far as the standard rooms, but the extra free perks, the reasonable price and the cleanliness of the place make this a hotel that I would definitely recommend to others when looking for a place to stay in Charlotte.
