After my friends had checked out of our uptown, noisy hotel and had flown home, I checked out just after lunch. I decided to stay a few days longer and moved into a completely different part of Charlotte.
I checked in to TownePlace Suites in the University Centre area. It was nice to be completely out of the downtown core.
I parked and checked in to the hotel. I had a friendly and fun person at the front desk. She asked whether I needed a late checkout, for she recognized that I was a gold elite member. I said that I needed to catch a flight in the morning, so I wouldn't need it.
My sense of humour made her laugh hard. I asked where the elevator was or if I had to haul my belongings up flights of stairs. She was kind to tell me where it was.
My room felt like home. It is an older hotel, but it worked just fine for me. The bed was comfy. The kitchenette was perfect. The shower pressure was fine. I had no complaints.
I got a bag of shrimp potstickers, and made them for breakfast and dinner on two separate days. I brought dinner in on my final night and was pleased that I had a decent meal in the comfort of my room. It truly felt like home.
More importantly, I slept well. It was far too noisy at the other hotel. I was well-rested at this hotel.
Housekeeping was great. My room was made every day. Everything was clean and perfect.
There are a bunch of eateries and shopping within a short drive. Check out the IKEA area that has plenty of stores to discover if you are staying here.
If you want to feel refreshed and relaxed, and appreciate excellent service, this hotel is for you.
