Hyatt Place Charlotte Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"I love this property. It was close to everything downtown. Unfortunately, the parking is ridiculously high and parking overnight in the hotels. Valet is extremely expensive if you’re going to go, try to park on the street but overall it is a great area. It’s close to everything foodwise, entertainment and very family friendly. I will stay here again in the future."

Sheraton Charlotte Airport Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Only stayed for 2 night for our flight early in the morning but I loved everything about it. Very spacious rooms and the pool looked great but we didn’t get to use it unfortunately. The shower was fantastic had wonderful water pressure which I loved a lot :) Staff was very friendly and helped with any questions we had it was a wonderful stay!"

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."
