I stayed one night at the Residence Inn and it exceeded my expectations. The location is central to everything. The football station and baseball field are on the same block as the hotel so if you're here during the sports season, this is the place to stay! We could walk everywhere from here so there was no need for an Uber or taxi. Parking is $11 during your stay in an attached garage which is much cheaper the other Marriotts in the city. The staff was friendly and helpful. When I checked in I was upgraded to a top floor room with a city view for being a Marriott Rewards member. Highly recommend if you're staying in Charlotte!
