Decent place to stay for the night

My husband and I needed a place to stay in Charlotte overnight during our travels. This place was pretty cheap, pretty clean and easy to get to from the airport. We were able to take advantage of the free airport shuttle which was very convenient. I would recommend the Econo Lodge & Suites for an overnight stay.

overnighter...

Close to airport, rooms were clean. Building is showing its age. Staff was nice. I left my cell phone charger, and they are sending it to me. Would probably stay there again if needed. Breakfast was minimal and didn't see a toaster for the bread and bagels.

I'd go back again

The outside of the hotel is a little outdated but the inside is nice. The room is a nice size, the bed was comfortable, the staff was friendly and the breakfast was a decent size (cereal, waffles, muffins, toast, juice & fruit). I will deffinetly stay again

There is a restaurant about 2 miles away called showmars. It is a cheap place but the food is really good and the portions are filling.

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.

horrible

Worst hotel I ever stepped foot into. Mold ALL OVER the bathroom. Just appalling --- so horrible I don't even have words. We left immediately and tried to get our money back and of course they wouldn't give our money back. Horrible. Horrible. Horrible.

Place to stay before airplane trip

The front desk clerk gave us a room number, we then went to dinner, upon coming back went to go to room and found that it was already occupied. When to the office and clerk said it was her fault that she gave us the wrong room number-it happened we got the room next door.

Look for places to eat as you travel to hotel. We found Cracker Barrel just a short drive away. Their food is always good and they have a gift shop with good deals.

Excellent one night stopover

We enjoyed our stay and the location was easy to find. The rooms and hallways could have used a more thorough vacuuming but overall we had a nice stay and feel that we received really good value.
