| - Bf and I stayed here for a night so we could attend a wedding shower for some friends in Waxhaw, NC. It was recommended to me by the future groom, and I am so glad he suggested it. In fact, if his wedding is close enough to this location, I will probably book us here again in October (unless they block off rooms somewhere else with a better price).
Our room, the King Suite, was welcoming and huge. It would be a great place to stay for more than one night because you have a fridge and cabinets full of plates and silverware. However, we still made use of that stuff because there is conveniently a Harris Teeter (as well as many restaurants and a movie theater) in the shopping area across the street. We bought ourselves a bottle of wine, cheese, and crackers to keep in the fridge for later. Such a great thing to do on vacay! And yes, the suite did have a wine opener in the drawer. AND a bag of popcorn that we enjoyed later that night while watching a movie on our HD TV that rotates 180 degrees. The only thing more I would have liked from the room is complimentary lotion to go along with the typical soap, shampoo, and conditioner because I didn't pack any assuming I would get some in the room.
The facilities are clean and updated. We arrived in time to play in the pool before the shower event. The outdoor area also includes a grill with tables and chairs, a basketball hoop, and a pagoda.
Breakfast in the morning on the weekend stops at 10 AM, so we set our alarm accordingly (we like to sleep!). I really enjoyed the toppings for my oatmeal: blueberries, walnuts, and brown sugar. Yes! The coffee was okay. I wish there was half and half available instead of that fake creamer stuff.
We were a little bummed that we could not get a later check-out (noon is typical) because too many other rooms had already requested it. But that was fine. Also, I don't really understand why the AAA rate is more than the weekend rate. As in about $40 more. It just makes no sense to me that my AAA membership will get me nothing there on a weekend.
Anyways, I totally recommend this Charlotte hotel to anyone who is actually trying to partake in events in Waxhaw since it is so close to the border.
