Drury Inn & Suites Charlotte Arrowood

10/10 Excellent

"The lady from Chicago is the best! The lady with the beautiful gray ponytail is the best too."

The Mecklen Hotel, Charlotte, a Tribute Portfolio™ Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean and the staff was super kind! The only issue we ran into was at the bar. When we went to get drinks before the concert we attended Saturday, several of the signature cocktails on the menu were unavailable due to lack of ingredients. Ended up finding something but it took a while to find a drink they could make. Air-conditioning was another oddity. The unit was set very high when I got into our room (unsure if it was even on), and it took a significant amount of time to get the room to a cooler temperature. Other than that we had a great time!"
