Moxy Charlotte Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and the employees were very nice"

DoubleTree by Hilton Charlotte City Center

10/10 Excellent

"I would like to lead with how amazing the staff was! Very accommodating and welcoming. My son left his jacket in the close out after check out. We were already at the airport when we noticed. We called the hotel and they helped us navigate the process of purchasing a shipping label to have it returned. They went above and beyond what was required. The facilities are awesome and the location is unmatched. I will only stay here when I return to Charlotte."
