Top First Ward Hotel Reviews

Great Wolf Lodge Concord

10/10 Excellent

"I have nothing but great things to say about Great Wolf. Everything and everyone was great! We originally came for one night and ended up staying for three nights. If you decide after you get there that you want to extend your stay and they have availability, it’s only $129 per night. What an amazing deal and the little ones will absolutely think they are in wonderland!"

HYATT house Charlotte/Center City

8/10 Good

"Staff was great, promote immediately. Rooms were ok, bathrooms were okish. There was still mildew on the bottom of the tubs, the sink drained very slowly and the AC unit had a terrible rattle. But overall the stay was decent. Would we come back yea, but it wouldn't be our first choice."

DoubleTree by Hilton Charlotte City Center

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful hotel, terrific vibrant location uptown Charlotte, great dining on premises and many locations nearby. Be prepared for steep parking fees ($36/night when I visited), next time I'll definitely use the train - Amtrak and commuter rail stop on the same block as this hotel."

315@Loso Hotel

6/10 Okay

"Disappointing. Accepts pets, which means certain tradeoffs, but odors were pervasive. Dog-walking areas were minimal: OK with me to say 'keep off the flowers' but grassed areas were also off limits, dogs are expected to use paved areas only. Staff were minimally present - e.g. signs marked 'ice machines out of order, see front desk' and desk personnel had limited time. No breakfast of any kind. Minimal services overall."

Homewood Suites By Hilton Charlotte Uptown First Ward

10/10 Excellent

"Inside was modern and clean: nice outdoor area with fire pit; the breakfast had a lot of variety and healthy options. The room was large and had an efficiency kitchen which was great. If there was to be a negative I would say it was about two blocks out too far from where you wanted to be, but not a deal breaker."
