I am always able to travel with Elise leaving Charlotte Airport now, returning they are a little bit slower, especially when it comes to baggage claim. I will continue to utilize the airport and all they have to offer!

It's gotten worse for the wear, I'm afraid…read more Most of my previous review still stands. Chaos and congestion... But what begs an update is the change in Uber pick-ups which makes literally no sense to anyone that lands here. Don't go outside of baggage like I did (this is where passenger pick-up is, so if your friend or family is picking you up, still go out here). This is of course the way it is in most civilized airports. No, it's on the UPPER level. Where arrivals are. By the time I figured this out, my uber driver was frantic because the airport traffic people were threatening all kinds of action on her. As we were messaging each other I was trying to get to the upper level but all the damn escalators were being fixed, so I had to wait for an elevator. All of this could have been avoided if there were clear signs indicating that ride share pick-ups are upstairs. Clearly this kind of mistake is common. Get it together CLT.

There is a $75 pet fee, which I don't think is unreasonable--maybe slightly on the higher end, but still fair. We booked a room with a king bed, and it came to about $185 for the night (not including the pet fee). The buffet breakfast looked decent, but at $15 per person we decided to skip it this time. The staff was very friendly and even gave out a small goody bag with Milk-Bones for the dogs, which was a nice touch. WiFi worked well throughout our stay. Overall, I would definitely recommend this hotel. It's conveniently located next to several restaurants, has plenty of parking, and there's no parking fee--which is always appreciated.

The only bummer upon check in was learning that the elevator was broken. My suitcase was a bit on the heavy side, as this was the front end of a week long North Carolina road trip. They delivered it, but it was still annoying. I loved the staff at Sophia's. They were so friendly. For sure stop in there for a cocktail. The room was comfortable. I love the funky side tables. We did complain about a certain smoky smell, the issue was addressed immediately. We were promised a credit that never materialized. When we checked out, we were offered bag service again (elevator still down), that also did not come to pass. We figured out that the same guy that was running the valet was also responsible for bag service. Impossible for one person to do both tasks efficiently and concurrently. This was a nice hotel, but definitely not Michelin Key level (we have stayed in many).

The bed and room was very comfortable with plenty of room to rest and recuperate after our busy days in town. I would recommend this location to anyone staying in the area. So close to many restaurants and event areas or just to walk around town.

A lot of crap outside entrance way. Room basically OK but strong chemical Odor. A/c LOUD. my flight was too early to experience the breakfast. I will say the bathroom had nice toiletries.

The two clerks are cold heartless unpleasant anthropids and If Best Weather people like money they should at least put this two people in a basic costumer service training. I advise to use the rip off money to pay extra to the cleaning personnel they sure do a good job. Btw: they put me in the top Floor while the elevator is OUT OF SERVICE.

I'm truly conflicted about this review…read more.. I spent the weekend at the Charlotte Courtyard for pleasure, and there are some things they did great, and some things that definitely feel short. On the side of awesomeness: Their location is incredible!!! Seriously, you'll be hard pressed to get a better location in Downtown Charlotte. Situated right in the center of Uptown, they are close to myriad bars and restaurants, nightlife, and activities. Close enough to everything to be walkable, just far enough away to avoid the weekend bar insanity. Also, the staff was incredible!! Everyone I interacted with was kind, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure my needs and wants were met. Last thing, the price was great!! Okay, the shortfalls: the rooms! While the beds and pillows were comfortable, the decor is about 20 years in need of renovation. Definitely circa 2002. Dark, dark walls made the room feel like a cave. And the ancient Motel 6 window air conditioning unit was so loud, I couldn't run it at night because it woke me up every time it kicked on. Also, they do have a lively rooftop pool. I heated. And it's in between two four-story wings of the hotel, so it gets minimal sun. And even on the hottest days (I was there in early Sept), the pool was an icy 50 deg. So again, I'm torn. Would I stay there again? Maybe. But at least I'd know what I'm in for. And now...so do you. And knowing is half the battle.

So I decided to give Courtyard a shot and it wasn't the best experience. Bottom line, if you're in…read moreneed of some rest and relaxation, I HIGHLY suggest choose a different hotel. First, the positives. It's located in the heart of uptown, which makes walking anywhere quick and simple. There is a public parking garage accessible from the hotel. The room is large enough for 2 people and the water pressure is top tier. Unfortunately, a fire alarm woke us up one morning. Emergency vehicles were arriving so we thought it was pretty serious. The fire alarm message directed us to use the stairs to exit and this became confusing. We followed an emergency exit sign which led us to a corner of confusion. One sign pointed in the direction we were heading and the other pointed in the direction we just came from (see picture). We decided to keep heading down our initial path, and the couple behind us decided to backtrack. Our path led us down a stairwell to a door that stated "not an exit" but also said "emergency exit" on the handle. We went through the door, which placed us on the 10th floor of the parking garage. From there, we had to find yet another way out... Ultimately, we all made it out, with no explanation of the cause. If this was a real emergency, there may have been some serious consequences. I hope they can add some clarity to their emergency exit signage during their remodel. More negatives. We stayed in room 314, and there was no headboard. There were only some weird, foam pieces with pillow cases. You can feel the springs in the bed, as it is VERY firm. If you're a side sleeper like me, this will hurt your back! I didn't know popcorn ceilings were still a thing, but there was some questionable fluid on it. And the bathroom seemed clean, until you looked at all of the hair that was left in many areas. Lastly, you can hear all of the grinding, drilling, and pounding from construction and every conversation in the hallway. If you choose to stay here, good luck

The Fairfield Inn in Gastonia is showings its age and in need of a remodel or proper upkeep…read more When I checked in, none of my preferences in rooms was met. It seemed like they purposefully did the opposite of all my wishes. I was put on the first floor rather than the top floor, near the stairs and not provided with feather-free pillows. Weirder, when I arrived to my room, housekeeping was still working on it. I'm not sure if she finished cleaning it or just left. But the smell of the chemical cleaning products or something to try to cover up another smell was awful. I put the AC on full blast but it was still overpowering when I returned from dinner. The floor of the shower looked icky; the curtains were stained; the wallpaper was coming off the wall. In the hallway, the baseboards were missing. The room was actually quiet but the curtains didn't close fully so there was light coming in all night. The breakfast area was large but the layout wasn't ideal so there was always a group near the toaster. Even though the area was large, the options were less than normal. It was a place to sleep and I was very happy to check out. I did receive 5,000 points for the problems.

When we stayed at the Meadowbrook Inn the visit was marred by the fact that two main elevators were out of service, making it quite difficult to move about the buildings. We were not made aware of the malfunctioning elevators before we arrived. Apparently, the elevator repair crew was two weeks late in arriving to repair the elevators that were out of service. We received no allowance in our rates charged during our visit or at check out I am handicapped and found this problem aggravating since there was no nearby parking for the handicapped guests.

About a 10 minute drive from the airport west of Charlotte, located in a small town and just off the highway. Plenty of free parking as well. The hotel is typical fairfield, not more than a few floors with a decent sized lobby and friendly front desk agents. Check in was quick, they were not particularly busy. Rooms were decent sized, plenty of room for luggage. Bathroom was standard, not the largest but comfortable. Overall you get what you paid for. Amenities were fine - internet worked as appropriate. Breakfast was decent, nothing special but free, and filling. Will definitely be back if in the area.
