I came down to North Carolina from NYC to view the solar eclipse the next day. We only stayed for one night but I was very impressed with the beauty of the hotel and the kindness of the staff. They really went out of their way to make us feel welcome there. The rooms and lounges are absolutely gorgeous. They also lightly perfume the hallways so stepping out of my room was very pleasant each time. I get headaches very easily from scents that are too strong but they did not go overboard with the perfuming. They offer a free breakfast and all of the food was fresh and great tasting. I was surprised to see that they also offered an espresso machine in the breakfast room. If I ever came back to Charlotte I would 100% stay at the Ivey's again.
