Hampton Inn Charlotte - University Place

10/10 Excellent

"We did have our fur-baby with us during this trip and that was also the reason for our stay at the Hampton. We were told during our last visit at the Days Inn (3rd visit in 3 weeks that they were not pet friendly. Eventhough the website states that they are pet friendly and the night check in clerks PUTS ME ON THE 1st floor BECAUSE ITS EASIER AND FASTER TO TAKE YOUR DOG OUT. So who's lying?? "

Moxy Charlotte Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"I can't say enough good things about the hotel staff. Everyone there, valets, housekeepers, front desk, and bartenders, all, top notch, friendly, welcoming, just all-around great people!!! Room was clean, hotel was clean, location was outstanding, close to everything. I had a great time. Will definitely stay there again."

Tru By Hilton Charlotte Tyvola I-77

8/10 Good

"Pros: good pillows, clean shower/bathroom Staff is great, breakfast is decent, gym is good for basic workout better than many hotel gyms, good central location, blackout shades are dine right with no light allowed in. I can’t express how helpful and wonderful the shades were! Pool table and lobby lounge is nice. Cons: stayed in room #404. Biggest complaint is Tyvola Rd noise is too much. Not so much you couldn’t sleep but definitely ever present and annoying. Some noise form other rooms as well. Overall this is a great place to stay. I would stay again but would try for a room on the other end of the hotel away from Tyvola Rd. Staff is helpful and courteous. There are two other hotels run by Hilton in basically the same parking lot. I would be interested to see how they compare. "
