I stayed at the Westin (3 nights/4 days), during a recent business trip to Charlotte and have nothing but great things to say about this location!
The interior/lobby is very nice (modern/relaxing). Check-in/checkout went smoothly and the staff's attention to detail, was very professional, yet not overbearing.
The lobby/cocktail bar area was very conducive to not only getting together to "defuse" after a day of training (great couches!), but this area was also friendly to those who's day cannot pass without hopping on the laptop to check e-mail (many outlets available in the lobby/cocktail area).
I utilized the fitness center early every morning (which was no small task, as it was hard to climb out of bed, as the bed/pilows, were so comfortable!). I have become a "treadmill snob," and one morning, all (6) were being used, so I hopped on the ecliptic (sp.?) machine. I loved the interior of the fitness center as well. There are also free weights and other equipment available as well. I kept hearing that you had to pay $5 each time, but no one on the fitness staff ever approached me regarding this.
There is also a spa within the fitness center. I did not utilize this, but other coworker's utilized this opportunity.
We had our meeting within one of the conference rooms at the hotel. It was nice (modern), although as is usually the case, the room grew too cold on occasion, which was addressed by our staff, but with no noticeable difference.
I noticed each morning, that our facilitator was met by the hotel staff to review the day's agenda, which I was very impressive.
The rooms were nice. Modern fixtures, with a fairly good-sized bathroom. The lotion and soap were great!
The Uptown area of Charlotte has grown and there are many great restaurants, within walking distance from the hotel.
I had a great time and would recommend this hotel for a great getaway!
