Wingate by Wyndham Charlotte Airport I-85/I-485

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing weekend staff everything is always excellent"

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Charlotte University Place, NC

6/10 Okay

"There’s not a lot to do around the hotel area. The train is near by to ride to downtown. There is breakfast choices. Our room smelled like chlorine when we first got there but then I think we became nose blind to it. Our door didn’t fully close so we had to make sure it clicked shut."

Hampton Inn Charlotte - University Place

8/10 Good

"Stayed in accessibility room with bathtub and secondary shower head attachment was non functional which was very inconvenient. Reported to front desk. Maintenance was sent to room and realized that this order was reported earlier and was not corrected. We were offered another room on our last night of 2-night stay. Too much of a hassle to relocate. Please compensate with Hilton awards bonus points . Thank you."

Moxy Charlotte Downtown

8/10 Good

"We had a great stay at the Moxy but there was a situation I want to make other guests aware of. There was a DJ playing on the rooftop one of the nights we were staying. My husband wanted to go up to the bar to grab a drink before we went to grab dinner and he was told he was not allowed to go to the bar as a paying hotel guest without paying $10 for the DJ show. They were extremely rude and unprofessional about the entire thing. Please fix this issue."
