This hotel was fantastic! We traveled with our two greyhounds and my parents and their dog. The staff was very attentive and friendly and loved the fact that we had our pets with us. Check-in was a breeze and the rooms very nice and spacious. The beds were very comfortable and the room was clean. We were right next to the breakfast area and my parents were directly across from the elevators/vending area and yet we did not hear anything once in our room. There were a lot of restuarants in the area within walking distance and the room included a good sized fridge and microwave. The breakfast area looked extremely clean and they had a very good breakfast for a hotel which included the normal breakfast items (i.e. cereal, fruit, yogurt, toast, bagels) as well as items that changed daily (i.e. pancakes, french toast, breakfast sandwhiches, etc.). The lobby was warm and inviting and they had a sitting area where you could also watch TV. There was a lot of area behind the hotel where we could walk our dogs. I would definately recommend this hotel to anyone who is visting the Charlotte area.
