Moxy Charlotte Downtown

"Excellent "

Homewood Suites By Hilton Charlotte Uptown First Ward

10/10 Excellent

"Front desk was super polite. Diance was very friendly and we felt very welcomed for just our short stay. Breakfast was good but really early hours, which we understood for the residency members staying there. Valet was very helpful with locations for food and accommodating when we needed to visit our vehicle without having to move it. Beds were very comfy and the shower's hot water was on point. My wife, who is an amputee, really enjoyed the accommodations for the disabled. She was able to get in and out of the bath without issues. The kitchen area was very nice and felt like a nice home away from home."
