Hampton Inn Charlotte-Uptown

8/10 Good

"The hotel was in a great location. However, upon arrival we were charged more than was noted on the reservation. We also learned that there is a parking garage you must use and they charge $35 per vehicle per night. That was not explained or included in the pricing. The hotel is also cashless- which was also not noted in the information. However, after the initial hullabaloo of check in, we were very pleased with the room. It was very clean and the beds were comfy. Breakfast was great- with both hot and cold options available. The hotel is in a great location- close to dining, music venues, and downtown activities."

HYATT house Charlotte/Center City

10/10 Excellent

"I went to a concert at the spectrum center. This hotel is right next door in walking distance. This is a perfect location. The hotel room was clean, staff friendly, there was a buffet style free breakfast and a bar. I had not utilize all the amenities on site such as the pool or gym but I was told about them. I would definitely visit again and recommend this hotel."

315@Loso Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is a gem in Charlotte, especially for the price. The staff were friendly and helpful. Room was clean and well designed. AC was a little loud and slight damage to the room that could’ve been better unkept but nothing that took away from the stay. They did have a sign with a strict linens replacement fee schedule and a sign about no locals allowed from within 50 miles for hotel “safety.” They have a cool downstairs area with a bunch of little games and a direct walkway to Fortune Wok which was absolutely delicious."

Sonesta Charlotte Lower South End

4/10 Poor

"I’ll be began by saying that the staff was amazing. Everyone was super kind and helpful. When I checked into my room, I took a look around and realized that the photos on the website aren’t the best representation of the rooms. The hotel is in dire need of a renovation. The lobby looks amazing, but doesn’t reflect what the rest of the building looks like. The first room that I checked into smelled like Clorox or some other cleaning solution but unfortunately they missed the headboard. The headboard had some kind of fluid that had been smeared. I informed the front desk who immediately upgraded my room. Unfortunately, the second room wasn’t much better. There was dust on the headboard, chipped wood on the TV console, an older AC unit, what looked like cigarette burns on the top of the lampshade. If I was staying in Charlotte for longer than one night, I would have changed hotels. I appreciate it how professional the staff was, but unfortunately, the rooms aren’t the best. Also, the parking lot was a whole different situation. There were people smoking marijuana in their cars, and a guy walking in front of the hotel at night, asking for money. When I told the staff person at checkout about my experience, she politely waived the parking fee, which I think was $15. I would not stay here again."
