"Good Renovations"
Overall Score3.0/ 5
The hotel has currently been remodeled and has a very clean, bright and fresh lobby. Beautiful marble floors and a fabulous chandalier greet you. The hotel is attached to the Ramada and they have the same owner, but seperate lobby areas. Business center is located in the lobby area. The furnishings are all new and very contemporary with a large screen tv in the lobby. Front desk staff was very friendly. Both hotels share the restaurant and banquet space. The restaurant is in need of renovations and will be done in the near future. The banquet space, apx. 17,000 s.f., is in the process of being renovated. Overall, the hotel is nice. The location is a high traffic area, but convenient to I-77.

"On It's Way"
Overall Score2.5/ 5
The lobby is very spacious, nice, clean and offers several sitting areas. The hotel is being updated in increments and will be a nice option for large groups needing conference space at an affordable price. The conference space is currently undergoing renovations and will be very nice once completed offering 17,000 s.f. of meeting space. The restaurant area is in the open atrium which reaches four stories high. I was advised the updates to this area will include new paint and furniture in the restaurant area. The guest rooms overlook outside or the atrium. Some have begun renovation. The bathrooms are nice and contemporary, the bedroom area has some new furniture and linens. The hotel is located just off of I-77 at Woodlawn. Although there are not restaurants within walking distance, a short drive will take you to SouthEnd where several trendy restaurants are avialable. The hotel has a lot of good potential to become a great conference facility and alternative for Charlotte for those not wanting to pay downtown prices.

"Okay for One Night Stay."
Overall Score3.0/ 5
This was an unexpected overnight stay due to missing my late night flight home. A representative at another hotel with no vacancies made this reservation with a partner hotel for me. The hotel's brand name gave me confidence in going with this hotel without doing my own research. I was slightly disappointed. First, it took nearly half an hour for me to get checked in because there was only one clerk on duty and he was helping other guests who were locked out of their room. The hotel seemed dated and in need of upgrades and renovation. The carpets throughout the halls were the first indication of this. Someone had spilled soda in the elevator and a caution sign had been placed over it. It still had not been cleaned up by the following morning. I had a king size room that was very spacious. There was so much space that it could have fit another bed or at least could have used a couch or armchair for lounging. However, there was only a desk with a chair. The bed was comfortable and clean. There was a nice size TV and mini fridge. The bathroom was very small. Only one person could fit in there at a time. The next morning when I went to check out, there was no clerk at the desk. They simply had a bowl with a note telling you to place your key in there if you were checking out. I realized that a man sitting in the lobby on his cell phone and occasionally laying his head on a table was the clerk on duty. Very unprofessional as he should have been behind the desk tending to the potential needs of guests. Another positive was that there was a hotel shuttle to the airport that was on time and the driver was very polite and friendly. Overall, the hotel room itself was clean and quiet. It was suitable for my needs since I was only staying the night. However, I would not choose to stay there again.
