This hotel is a fraud.\nThe Channel 70 Productions crew was working a block away and the shoot ran way over schedule into the late hours, so we got caught in Charlotte overnight. The hotel looked acceptable and had great parking. I walked in to the really nice looking lobby to check out the place and their rates. $99 seamed reasonable, so I booked our small, tired, and, bedraggled, group. I didn't know I'd just become a bait and switch victim.\nThe rooms were horrible. Ratty carpets and decor. Bad smell. A worthless HVAC system. A shower design right out of a Basic Training barracks that sends water everywhere in the bathroom. We're talking nearly Third World here. The staff was professional, but probably embarrassed to work there. \nIt was late and we were too exhausted to go find another hotel, so we just endured. The $99 turned out to be about $93 too high."^^ . . . "2011-10-30T00:00:00"^^ . "4"^^ . .
