Top Johnson C. Smith University Hotel Reviews

Hilton Garden Inn Charlotte Uptown

8/10 Good

"I reserved 3 rooms but was only given 2, due to overbooking. Staff did not care or make any attempt to apologize or solve."

Grand Bohemian Charlotte, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice property and very conveniently located if you are attending a sports event or major concert."

Aloft by Marriott Charlotte City Center

10/10 Excellent

"I booked a VERY last minute stay at Aloft after a poor experience in a moldy, Concord hotel. Booked and arrived 25 min later at 11pm. I was welcomed by a kind and patient front desk staff (Adarian!) who even remembered my name and my dog's name throughout our stay. The room was clean (thank god!) and I was finally able to rest. My pup was happy too! I did not get a chance to use the amenities but I saw several guests socializing at the bar and pool table area watching the game."

Moxy Charlotte Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean and the concrete ceiling/floor helped eliminate extra hotel noise. The bar/lounge was a great hangout spot."

SpringHill Suites Charlotte City Center

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."

Hyatt Place Charlotte Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean, comfortable, quiet. In heart of downtown convenient to stadium, convention center and more. Good free breakfast. Fahrenheit restaurant on rooftop very nice, views spectacular. Parking too expensive but typical for downtown stays anywhere. All in all, a very good choice."

Hilton Charlotte Uptown

8/10 Good

"clean room good location- food options suck."

The Westin Charlotte

10/10 Excellent

"A++++"

Kimpton Tryon Park Hotel by IHG
