Drury Inn & Suites Charlotte Arrowood

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome place. Didn't have to go out to eat. Breakfast and dinner was included and the staff were excellent"

HYATT house Charlotte/Center City

10/10 Excellent

"The downstairs was hot when we were there, but that didn’t stop us from enjoying our stay. It was clean. The bar area was excellent. Plenty of seating for the bar/breakfast. The pool looked great. I didn’t use it. However, I used the gym. Very well maintained. The rooms were awesome. The fridge, kitchenette and the couch, made the room feel homey. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom spacious. It was just me and my husband with another couple. I didn’t see any kids at this hotel."

Great Wolf Lodge Concord

10/10 Excellent

"The kids had an amazing time. They love the bunk beds in the kids’ cabin. My son loved having the high plug near the top bunk for his iPad! The staff was friendly and accommodating. We felt safe both days at the water park as the lifeguards are always watching for safety violations. The dippin dots and pizza were amazing! The dunkin lattes were super tasty! The only negative was the dust gathered in the corners of the bunk beds. I alway travel with sheets and I noticed when I was covering the beds. I also travel with Lysol and other cleaning supplies so I handled it. But all in all, we really enjoyed it. Our last experience at a different great wolf location was an absolute nightmare, so we were nervous. I’m happy to say we will definitely return!"
