Charlotte is for Reunions
Durham, NC
Nov 11, 2012

Stylish, designer hotel

I was in Charlotte to meet up with friends for a mini-reunion and was pleasantly surprised to find the Aloft was one of the more inexpensive options in the Uptown area ($119) for a Friday night. The EpiCentre where it is located is a busy retail and bar/restaurant outdoor mall reminiscent of Universal CityWalk. The hotel has a small elevator up to the lobby on the 5th floor; the looby has the WXYZ Bar, a pool table, and 24hour snack bar. The rooms are fairly large. Showers are nice with adequate water pressure. Large flat-screens with cable. Bliss shampoo and soap are nice. Small coffee maker with coffee and tea. Wall safes are available. Overall a nice Ian Scrager-like experience.

Money-saving tip: Not Applicable

Parking for the hotel is $20 for self-park or $20 for valet (EpiCentre valet with hotel discount). It is $20 each time you come back for self-park, but unlimited exit and entrances for the one $20 payment for valet. That said lots to do, see and eat at the EpiCentre so you may not leave that often but worth it if you need to drive around Charlotte. Valet goes until 1pm on the day of check out and $10 after that 1pm deadline. Also nearby self-parking is $20 per 20 mins on parking decks and $6 for outdoor off-the-beaten-path parking, so the additional $10 may be worth it.

Aloft Charlotte - stay hur

I travel a ton. If you are younger (18-35) and like nightlife this is a great spot. Charlotte is really getting cool, especially on weekends when it's nuts, college ave actually reminded me of Hollywood Boulevard last night lol, well in terms of craziness not fashion sense haha. But at least people in Charlotte aren't all phony hahaha. I'm not a critic but if you want a cool fun place and you're in town this is the spot for sure.

Pleasant overnight

Easy pleasant check-in, clean, very comfortable room with many amenities, contemporary European style. Excellent for price. [boarding pass printing was a bit weird, had to ask for help twice and it spit the paper onto the lobby floor - but small problem compared to overall pleasant stay]
