Top Second Ward Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn Charlotte-Uptown

10/10 Excellent

"We’ve stayed at this location multiple times, and the staff is always so friendly. It’s a walkable distance to Charlotte sporting events, and very convenient to most other downtown activities. Parking is an additional fee, but it’s easy to get in and out of the deck. Overall, we enjoy staying at this Hampton, and will be back in the future."

Hilton Charlotte Uptown

8/10 Good

"This is a beautiful property very centrally located , the rooms are spacious and my city view from my high floor was lovely - however due to a delayed flight I arrived late - 11 PM; and the restaurant and bar were closed - on another night the bar was inaccessible due to a large gathering of collectors. Check in and Check out were rather seamless, one peculiar issue - rideshares could never find us - they would always be directed to the parking lot rather than the main entrance - Nevertheless if in the area I would stay again but I would bring snacks just in case"
