Moxy Charlotte Downtown

8/10 Good

"Valet was a bit backed up, but everything was beautiful!"

Quality Inn Charlotte Airport

8/10 Good

"It is right off the highway, so expect some traffic noise, but it's not enough to keep you up at night. The staff was very helpful when needed. The free airport shuttle was definitely needed and appreciated. Our room was somewhat smaller, but sufficient. It was also updated and clean. Most importantly, no bed bugs or roaches!"

Spark by Hilton Charlotte Tyvola I-77

10/10 Excellent

"Check in was quick and easy. Clean, bright, safe-feeling. Quiet building, stayed on the 3rd floor and couldn’t hear neighbouring rooms at all, or outdoor noise. AC worked well, was quite quiet, and no odours. Bed was very firm, but still comfortable. Pillows were hit and miss but there were extras so we both had good ones. Typical continental breakfast. Parking lot well laid out so you could park close to the building. Surrounded by other hotels. Shower pressure and toilet flush both had plenty of power. TV was quite large and had the option to log into common streaming apps (Netflix, Disney, Prime, etc…) as well as cable TV. Only stayed one night during a road trip, but would definitely stay again."

Woodspring Suites Charlotte Airport

8/10 Good

"The room was clean the bed felt great they have a great size fridge and a stove but no utensils or pots even when I booked the room with kitchen utensils but they refunded me the other half no shade BUT I WILL COMPLAIN ABOUT IS ROOM SERVICE KNOCKING ON MY DOOR 8AM asking me when I'm checking out and then coming back round 10 asking me the same thing VERY ANNOYING"
