Excellent customer service by Meagan at the front desk, room was clean, quiet, well appointed, and comfortable. The Barrister restaurant on site was superb; great food, very accommodating to food allergies, and very helpful waiter (Angela) who listened and did everything to make our dining experience wonderful. This is our new go to place in the greater Charlotte area.

No sleeping here

The hotel is beautiful and service excellent but there was an outdoor concert a block away and street noise well into the night that made sleeping impossible.
