I really enjoyed the bar here. It is a sectioned off bar/restaurant and has a nicer feel than the Marriott/Hilton business hotels -- you aren't here drinking alone because you are stuck here; you are drinking at some local tavern in anytown, USA which could be down the street from home. Bartender was phenomenal and took the edge off of having to stay in Charlotte for another evening (airplane mechanical problem).
Check-in/out was pretty standard; staff friendly enough. Very professional. The side of the hotel that faces the highway is a little loud, but getting a room switch is easy enough. Rooms could use a little sprucing up/renewing, but overall no complaints.
