Checked in on July 17 with my sister and her 2 small children. Saturday afternoon I took the children to the pool to swim. There was about 50 to 75 adults around the pool. I took the kids to one corner trying to keep them away from the party. I had only been there for about 5 minutes when I... more

I never deliberately search for a site to post a review about bad experience. However, this incident was so unbelievable, I had to share with individuals who are considering lodging at this hotel. First, the service was poor. I will not pick apart the hotel on every small issue I had, but the biggest incident that stood out was related... more

I stayed at this hotel June 25 - June 28th for business / leisure with my family. The curb appeal and lobby is great and it makes you feel like you will be at a 4 star hotel. Well looks can be deceiving. Initial reaction to the room was "this is interesting decor". It was very DARK and GLOOMY. When... more

Basically, this hotel comes down to the word, “strange”. They really want to be an upscale hotel but they are trying too hard. They end up just looking plain silly. For example, they have very “Modern” décor that really makes things unusable. For example, our bathroom looked nice enough until I tried to shave – and noticed that there was... more

If you are thinking about this hotel, don't do it! It was the worst hotel experience that I have ever had. Your first impression is that the lobby looks great. Well, this is where it stops because the rest of the hotel is in utter ruins. We were booked on a floor that was not remodeled. The bathroom had not... more

Initially the decor seems handsome however the rooms are poorly lit for the trendy yet dark decor. Women forget applying makeup the lighting is too dark. The towels need to be replaced. The halls and lobby areas are hot. The restaurant is over priced, and DARK can't see what you're eating but that may have been a plus cause it... more

Ok stayed at the Blake Hotel for CIAA weekend (a big party week in Charlotte for college basketball) anyway we got a fabulous rate off of one of the websites, so this made our stay the best. We were on the 4th floor, room in front of the elevators (which I could have changed, but I am sure the hotel... more

The Blake is severely mismanaged. It's renovated many of it's rooms and is "trying" to be a nice, hip hotel, but it simply isn't b/c it seems no one in management cares. Examples: - The renovated rooms look nice, but they choose to buy cheap hard mattresses. - The bathrooms look hip, but then your realize not having a shower... more

I'm actually staying at The Blake as I write this review. I've never been compelled to actually write a hotel review and have always taken the Trip Advisor reviews with a grain of salt. So please, read this review and know that I am just like you. I thought I was staying at a modern, semi-hip hotel, or as hip... more

I just returned from my stay at the Blake Hotel and it was my worst stay ever. The boiler broke - at least, that is what we were told - during our stay so we were out of hot water and thusly, unable to take a hot shower. The rooms appeared to be recently renovated but the bathroom and electrical... more
