Sonesta Charlotte Lower South End

8/10 Good

"The staff was super nice and helpful. The room was very clean and the bed was comfy. Theres a 14 dollar fee to park your car for the night, which I find add on fees obnoxious, but besides that, it was a very nice property."

Drury Inn & Suites Charlotte University Place

10/10 Excellent

"Several years ago, we had occasion to be in NC and stayed at The Drury; found it to be one of the BEST hotels' we've ever stayed at and have returned several times' since. The staff is friendly, helpful and courteous. The building and grounds are clean, and aesthetically pleasant. The hotel itself (Drury Inn & Suites Charlotte University Place)is conveniently located with access to most needs. The breakfast is exceptional with pleasant, helpful staff and the added benefit of a meal with drinks makes Drury a "return to" place without a doubt! Thank you to each of the staff!"
