10/10 Excellent
"If you're going to see a concert or a game at the area, then this HAS to be the place to stay. Nothing beats the 1 minute walk to the hotel after the event is over. The room was big, clean, nice and cold, pillows and bed were soft, shower and bathroom was spacious (I had Disney hotel room vibes). The staff were friendly and informative and the breakfast in the morning was so on pointe. You hear and read about a "warm breakfast" but this was legit and with options beyond a do it yourself waffle maker. We're already looking at another concert AND to stay here."

"Let's start with the host....very responsive and communicated throughout the stay to make sure everything was going smoothly. All questions were responded to in record time, could not have been better. The place is a great value for all the space you get and the location to the stadium and local night life is great as well. If you are looking for a place to house more than 12 people for a football game or any event in Charlotte this is the place."
