Sonesta Charlotte Lower South End

8/10 Good

"The staff were all friendly and kind"

Wingate by Wyndham Charlotte Airport I-85/I-485

8/10 Good

"Room was clean and bed was very comfortable. AC worked great - blinds shut so we could sleep in. Bathroom had Dove products which was nice and also a makeup wipe also nice. Any and all staff we encountered very friendly and helpful. Hotel has a bit of wear and tear but I think being in close vicinity to an airport that is bound to happen with a high turnover of guests. Breakfast had instant eggs *is that a thing? Coffee was ok No fresh fruits available or healthy options aside from the eggs but still grateful for the eggs. Juices i think 🤔 Sugary cereals, extra flavoured creamers. Waffles/ bagels/ toast Airport shuttle was wonderful. Our driver was super friendly and very sweet. Quiktrip probably only took 10 to 15 minutes and she knew the airport well"

HYATT house Charlotte/Center City

10/10 Excellent

"It is conveniently located across the street from a great diner. We didn’t use the amenities, but they looked nice. We did buy drinks & snacks in the hotel store. It had an adequate selection. There was a non slip mat to use in the bathtub which was nice to have. One person in our party had coffee from the continental breakfast and said it was good. If we find ourselves in Charlotte again, we would definitely stay here again. One of our party had stayed there before for a Hornets game and he recommended."
