This hotel is in a good location, right next door to the NASCAR Hall of Fame, and one block away from the convention center. I had a nice two room suite on the 9th floor (so I can't confirm or deny the comments about the stench on the lower floors). The room was clean and comfortable and there was a nice jacuzzi tub in the bedroom. All the staff i encountered were friendly and helpful. i will say that it was a little bit of a walk to get to the "heart of the action" in uptown Charlotte..not too far, but in the 90 degree weather a slightly sweaty walk :-)
I will agree with the other reviewer that said the coffee was terrible..i agree whole heartedly, but since there are so many nice coffee shops in uptown charlotte there are other choices. All in all a solid choice to stay.
Park yourself and save the $15
