I booked this hotel a while ago because my cousin was getting married in Charlotte, it also happened to be our wedding anniversary so I wanted to make a little vacation out of it... I had no idea that I was booking it for when they would be in the midst of construction. So although I don't want to give the hotel a bad review just for that reason, since, they are only trying to improve, it definitely hindered my overall experience. I was really looking forward to using the pool...
With all of that being said, however, I was very happy when they gave us a room upgrade for our anniversary. The room was huge and thankfully we didn't hear any construction while in our room at all. The beds and pillows were really comfortable. They even brought up a little cupcake to us with 'happy anniversary' written on the plate. Very sweet!!
The location was good, you can walk to the epicenter without having to go on the street at all. There is a Walgreen's and Starbucks right downstairs as well as some small restaurants and shops.
If I was coming to Charlotte again, I would definitely stay here after the renovations are complete. It looks like it's going to be amazing. I just wish we had seen it!
