Just when I thought every Holiday Inn Express was relatively the same, I stayed at this one in…read moreCharlotte. Wow! The rooms were modern and I had a great view of downtown from my room. I didn't partake in the breakfast, but did have a banana and coffee one of the mornings. Coffee was hot and good and I was able to go on my way to various other places. The lobby was also pretty nice and big too, set up for quick meetings and such. Usually, every HI Express has coffee 24/7, but when we were there for a meeting, I wanted an afternoon pick-me-up and there was no coffee. I asked the front desk and she said they usually only fill it at breakfast. Hence, a drop in the star rating. One drawback was that I couldn't jump up and down in the elevators. The sign told me so. And I couldn't add to my collection of elevator buttons either. I still need NC so I'll have to stay at a different one next time. There are lots of restaurants within walking distance which is nice. We didn't have to travel via 2-3 Ubers as a group in order to go to lunch and dinner.

The hotel itself is beautiful and has a full 5 star food court that is so convenient if you are looking for a quick bite to take back to the room. The food catered at the ceremony was wonderful. The conference space was very elegant and easy to find. I would 100% stay here again!

It's remarkable to see how much the Charlotte skyline has changed over the past seven years, and…read morethis hotel is clearly part of that evolution. My wife and I ended up here unexpectedly after our flight was canceled due to an incoming snowstorm. Since the JW Marriott wasn't open during my last visit to Charlotte, I made a point to stay here during this short, unplanned stop. We arrived late on a Friday night, which didn't leave much time to explore the hotel's amenities, but the stay still left a strong impression--both good and not-so-good. The guest rooms are sleek, modern, and undeniably luxurious, with a sophisticated design that feels appropriate for a newer urban JW property. The glass shower was spacious and attractive, though oddly there was no body wash provided, and the drain was clogged--small details, but noticeable at this level. The mattress, unfortunately, was extremely firm--uncomfortably so for me--and made for a restless night. Because our luggage was still stuck at the airport, we requested several basic toiletries. Despite assurances, they never arrived. On the positive side, room service is available 24 hours, and the food was excellent--fresh, well-prepared, and delivered promptly. The Executive Lounge is also a standout: beautifully designed and offering a strong breakfast spread that made the morning far more enjoyable. Ben at the front desk the next morning deserves special mention. He was attentive, professional, and genuinely responsive in addressing the issues we experienced the night before, which helped restore some confidence in the stay. One lingering question: I don't quite understand why an urban hotel charges a Daily Destination Fee. While the fee can be offset with credits toward room service or dining, it still felt out of place for a downtown business-oriented property. I've stayed at JW Marriotts in several other cities and have consistently found their service to be a strength. That's why I was surprised that service here didn't quite meet those expectations. The hotel itself is beautiful and well-located, but smoother execution and attention to detail would bring the experience in line with the JW standard.

The establishment was clean. The lobby spacious and well lit, but I could not escape the feeling I…read morewas more an inconvenience than a customer. The staff never greeted anyone, rarely smiled. The rooms were fine with housekeeping every other day. Restaurant menu was sparse; one burger, one flatbread, a few appetizers. Their "signature celebrity chef" menu consisted of a meatball entree, a chopped salad, grilled cheese made with spaghetti and garlic bread. A bit weak IMO.

I stayed downtown recently for a conference and this was our hotel. I'm not sure why it's getting…read moreall the hate -- it was clean, the staff was friendly, and in general, fine for what it is. Sure, it's expensive, but all downtown hotels are. The restaurant attached isn't the best, but it was okay. We got everything we asked for (extra towels/blankets), the TV was easy to work, beds were comfy enough, and the temperature controls in the room worked to keep an even keel. The only real hiccup was parking -- the garage is SUPER small and narrow so it was not fun trying to get in and out of there. But most of the trip we were able to walk where we needed to (the convention center was only a few blocks away, and there were a lot of nice restaurants within walking distance as well).

I booked a spa day for my daughter and me, and I was genuinely excited to treat her to a full…read moreexperience at the Ritz‑Carlton for her birthday. Unfortunately, that excitement slowly faded as the day went on. When we arrived, there was no one at the front desk. We waited about 5-10 minutes before anyone checked us in. I mentioned it was our first visit so we opted for a full tour, but the welcome felt rushed and incomplete. We also noticed other guests being offered drinks upon arrival nothing was offered to us. We headed to the Aqua Lounge to relax and decided to order food. There was no staff in sight, so I eventually walked downstairs to place the order myself. The food was underwhelming, and it took 40 minutes for a turkey BLT, no napkins, it was an overall poor experience. We wanted to enjoy the hot tub but the jets were broken. You'd think everything would be fully functional in a hotel/spa of this caliber. I don't mind paying an automatic service charge when service is actually provided, but that wasn't the case here. I find that staff is less likely to care when the gratuity is automatic, which held true at this spa. The spa itself is beautiful, serene, and well designed. Our technicians, Renata and Kieyan, were professional, warm, and truly the highlight of the entire visit. If I were rating solely based on them, it would be a full five stars. If you're only looking for a great massage, I'd recommend this spa. If you're seeking a full luxury spa experience, go elsewhere.

We stayed here for the July 4th holiday weekend. Compared to our prior five-star hotel experiences,…read morethis property unfortunately ranks at the bottom. The outdoor temperatures in Charlotte were soaring, making a functional AC an absolute necessity. Unfortunately, something was grossly wrong with ours. The first night, we assumed we just hadn't adjusted the thermostat correctly. By the second night, despite tweaking the settings, the room was still stifling. We called the front desk and they dispatched a technician. He informed us that he adjusted the system to a "VIP setting of 60°F" and promised the room would chill down. While this made the temperature slightly more bearable, it never actually cooled the room down properly. He also offered a bizarre explanation that the AC system resets to a higher temperature if it doesn't detect movement--which makes zero sense for a hotel room where guests are trying to sleep. Overall, this was not the quality or performance we expected from a Ritz-Carlton. Street noise was another major issue; the traffic and city sounds were loud enough that I had to wear earplugs both nights. On a positive note, the general customer service was decent. The pool area and hot tub were amazing, and we were even able to catch a distant view of the holiday fireworks from up there. However, breakfast at the 15th-floor restaurant was strictly average. Given the premium price point, the foundational elements--like a quiet room and functional climate control--simply missed the mark.

This was the perfect place to stay while visiting Charlotte. Highly recommend for any families!…read moreThey provide a pack and play if needed that worked out great. I got the accessible room because it had a separate sleeping room so it was a one bedroom with the living room and kitchen separate. The bathroom had a bathtub which was great for my toddler. They offer a small pool, a gym, on site guest laundry facilities, free breakfast, valet parking! They had two large lounge areas where my kid could play and run around too. The breakfast was great too much better than Marriott hotels! Just higher quality it felt like. The staff at this location were so super kind and helpful! Such a lovely stay, highly recommend and will definitely return if I come back to Charlotte!

You seriously can't get any closer, it's right next door, which made the whole trip super convenient. As a Hyatt member I try to stick with the brand, so it was clutch that there's a Hyatt property located right in the heart of downtown. My experience was great from start to finish. The staff was incredibly friendly and had no problem accommodating my early check-in. The room itself exceeded expectations--booked a studio and ended up with a surprisingly spacious setup: separate living area, big comfy bed, huge bathroom, plus a full fridge and kitchen. Didn't necessarily need the kitchen for this trip, but it'd be perfect for longer stays. Price-wise, I paid around $150 a night during a holiday week, which felt like a steal for the location and quality. Honestly, I don't know that you could do much better downtown. Zero complaints Hyatt House delivered exactly what I needed and more. If I'm ever back in town I'm 100% staying here again.

Parking is almost $50/night, so keep that in mind when traveling. I have a list of people to shoutout because they all went above and beyond to show true hospitality. 1. Shelly at the front desk was incredible.!! She was super sweet and took the time to explain every part of the hotel. Shelly truly made us feel welcomed. Each time we walked by, there was always a wave and a smile. Thank you for that! 2. Wanda!! She is the "singing omelette lady" during the week. I got to catch her on a Monday and she was so pleasant so early in the morning. Yes, she sings little tunes and exchanges pleasantries. Surely it's a great way to start your day! 3. Ivan!!! The coolest dude at the Embassy! He was our bartender almost every night and he didn't disappoint. Even with the heavy crowds during the evening cocktail hour, Ivan always kept his composure and had a smile on his face. 4. Tracy-- an excellent saleswoman. She caught us on the last day of our trip, offering us deals we tried not to refuse. It seemed like she was genuinely interested in our travel interests, rather than just trying to close a deal. I appreciated her warmth and kindness and it seems like she really enjoys her job. She's absolutely perfect for her role.

I really enjoyed my sleep here. The bed was super comfy and the air-conditioning worked great! They also have a little mini market downstairs if you need snacks or drinks

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.

The checkin was quick and was allowed to keep the luggages at the front desk lobby as I arrived earlier than the check-in time. The morning free breakfast spread was good and the other amenities like gym and the indoor play area for kids were pretty cool. Couple of things I felt could have been different- - The room with the view and the included kitchen were great, but they didn't clean up the room or make the bed, the following days. - The floor consistently smelled caustic - like leaked chemicals.

Check in was at 4:00 pm which I felt was very late. The front desk said that they would have some rooms available after 1:00 pm, so we went to get a bite to eat. We returned at 2:30 pm and were told that no rooms were available. We had to sit in the lobby for another hour and a half and asked the desk several times to check availability of a clean room for us. Finally after approaching the desk at 4:00 pm our room became available. We got up to the room and opened the door and it had an odd smell to it. We were so exhausted from waiting for almost 4 hours to get our room we decided to proceed. Later we noticed that the AC unit seemed to be leaking and the carpet was wet around it. This is unacceptable. The room should not have been given to us at all. The breakfast was OK. There was no cut up fruit like we had at other Hampton Inns. Just a couple of apples in plastic wrap. The hotel is tired and needs to be updated. You need to do better.

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
