Top Optimist Park Hotel Reviews

Drury Inn & Suites Charlotte Arrowood

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were friendly and helpful, room was clean, and pool was a highlight for my kids"

315@Loso Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is awesome!!! Do not even hesitate if you want to stay here and still deciding, just go ahead and book it! It was perfect for my trip. It is very close to the Lightrail so that makes transportation so easy. The front desk was always so helpful to me whenever I had a question. The lobby has all kinds of games for kids and adults to enjoy, board games and video games. It was such a nice place. They had coffee and tea available all day. The room was perfect and very clean. Everything was wonderful for my stay and I definitely recommend it!"

Moxy Charlotte Downtown

8/10 Good

"Parking is expensive—$55 through the hotel or about $31 for overnight parking in the lot behind it. Other than that, the rooms are clean, and the staff is very pleasant. I was there for a bar crawl, so it was nice being within walking distance of everything. There’s a Midnight Diner right next to the hotel and a Starbucks on the first floor, which is convenient for food since the hotel does not offer breakfast."
