Homewood Suites By Hilton Charlotte Uptown First Ward
The valet was mean towards my daughter. Her first adult trip. The cost to park was insane. Weird location. She was approached 3 times by beggers right outside

HYATT house Charlotte/Center City
The staff is polite and ready to fix problems. The hospitality is GREAT, even though unfortunately that can’t be in the context of a beautiful hotel. Hyatt has gone down hill for some years. This is yet another hotel with dirty floors, and no running hot water, well at least not for the many attempts ...
