Top University City Hotel Reviews

Drury Inn & Suites Charlotte University Place

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay! Good breakfast"

Hyatt Place Charlotte/University Research Park

10/10 Excellent

"The front desk lady Deborah was very friendly and helpful and made you feel like you were at home. The property was very clean and it looked very new for being 5years old. The room was very spacious and had a small refrigerator but no microwave. The shower was a walk in shower with sliding door. I would highly highly recommend this hotel! You can walk next door to Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen restaurant which is a plus!"
