Woodspring Suites Charlotte Airport

10/10 Excellent

Drury Inn & Suites Charlotte Arrowood

10/10 Excellent

"I must say Drury was the absolute best hotel I’ve stayed in this year (2026). I’ll start with my entry into the lobby, it was clean and welcoming I felt seen as if the staff was waiting on my arrival. The receptionist Jin was amazingly polite and knowledgeable. I was next in line, a little tired as I had gotten off work that morning and the long drive there so I almost wanted to get annoyed because it was taking so long. BUT when I tuned in as to what Jin was doing I was at ah, because Jin had remembered and recited everything there was to know to this guest about their stay. When it was my turn I almost wanted to say to her “you don’t have to repeat it, I heard everything “ but I just had to see if Jin would give me the same run down and she did awesome. The breakfast & kick-back spread was amazing and delicious. Clean rooms friendly staff. I do have to say that the 3rd shift staff is not as friendly or maybe they were having a bad day but overall I will be returning, I felt like I was at a resort of some kind. I believe it was the manager that played with the grandchildren and took a liking to the baby (birthday girl) took our plates if they were walking by, and constantly asked was everything okay. If I could make an suggestion it would be that guest took a number and sit or hang out at the bar until their number is called.if you arrive on the weekend in the afternoon ask for Jin."

Home2 Suites by Hilton Charlotte Uptown, NC

10/10 Excellent

"The staff members were very pleasant and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable with a kitchen, dishes, and refrigerator. Unfortunately, the parking situation was not ideal. It was an inconvenient distance from the hotel, it was confusing to access and navigate, and it was too expensive for one night. Other than that, it wasn't bad for the price and included free breakfast."

DoubleTree by Hilton Charlotte City Center

8/10 Good

"Cleanliness and location was great, easy access to restaurants and entertainment within walking distance. My most favorite NO PETS!!!!! I have allergies to cats and dogs..it's very frustrating to stay at hotel that allows pets. Thanks Double Tree for not allowing pets on the property."
