Omni Charlotte Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel!"

Homewood Suites By Hilton Charlotte Uptown First Ward

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay with one exception…. The bathroom door is a barn door and there was at least a one inch gap between the door she the wall - so you could see someone sitting on the toilet from where you were sitting on the couch. Super uncomfortable, even when traveling with family. Other than that, the room was great."
