Good stay for a short visit.

Phone didn't work in my room. Wasn't there long enough for it to matter. There was not a TV remote in the room. Had to go down to the front desk since the phone didn't work. They gave me one that did work. Breakfast was good!! All else was satisfactory.

for the price it was a decent hotel.

It was a average hotel room. But good for the money. We only stayed one night so didn't experience to much with hotel. Staff that we dealt with was very nice.

Great Location

I went for the Memorial Day Race Week and the location was great (if you don't mind the highway next to you). It was 7 minutes from the airport 9 minutes to Downtown, and 18 minutes to Charlotte Motor Speedway. The hotel was average, nothing special but for the amount of time I spent in it, it was perfect. I would recommend this for a group of guys going for race weekend, as for a family stay, only because I have kids I'd look somewhere else in the area.

Good Value/Close to Airport

Breakfast was adequate/average. One wall light fixture didn't work and the bathroom light worked most of the time. Room and bathroom were clean....good value.

Airport p/u lacked skills

I phoned from the airport and was told the van would be leaving in 10 minutes. Since the hotel is less than 5 minutes from the airport I got worried after half an hour and called again. Same story - he'll be there right away. I waited another 10 minutes and then caught a cab. I'd already paid for the room or I'd have gone somewhere else just on principle. Bad first impression - otherwise the room was pretty good.
