| - Venue: Charlotte Plaza Hotel (Crowne Plaza Charlotte)
Decor: Average, basic
Service: Informational, Decent, Got the Job Done
Environment: Quiet
Food: Pretty cool (see sister review for Chambers Grille)
Prices: Fair, Reasonable for Uptown Charlotte A tad over $100/night
Huge Pros: Free complimentary shuttle within 3 miles of the hotel
Debbie Downers: The same complimentary shuttle doesn't run all night, if it did, I would give it 5 stars! $15/parking per day. TV's need to be flat screened The WiFi was sketch too. It would go in & out (needs improvement)
Conclusion: I don't know why other people seem to be b*tching & moaning off the hotel. I read the reviews and took my chances of what I got into. Sometimes you have to see for yourself and come to your conclusion and this is what my review is for. I thought the location was pretty good that it wasn't in the center of everything but within the I-277 loop on the edge of Uptown Charlotte to still be close to everything. Easy in and out from local street and Interstate. The staff was friendly, provided good information on where to go for your entertainment and leisure needs.
Overall: First, I am a simple kinda guy. I don't need the Waldorf Astoria to rest my head. Something that is clean, good location, nice staff, is in a safe neighborhood, quiet rooms. This hotel had all of that. I keep reading about the renovations but I saw NONE of that as being a distraction. I stayed on the seventh floor and that was quite fine for me. If your read this review, perhaps you should grab a room on the 7th. The bar at the restaurant was cool. The complimentary shuttle is very good. The hotel will even secure your luggage even after check out just incase you have to go to a convention or sporting event. For what you pay and where it is located, the price seems to be about right. I had zero issue with this hotel, I don't know why everyone else is b*tching for!
Grade: B
