We stayed only one night at this Hampton Inn, but wish we could have stayed longer! This Hampton Inn is the nicest of any Hampton Inn (including some other higher chain hotels). It is located in an upscale shopping center in what felt like a very safe area. We had no problem roaming around at night. Lots of great restaurants, and a Whole Foods all within walking distance.
Check-in was a breeze. They even allowed us late check out when asked. We were on the second floor, and were lucky enough to get an end room. The hotel was very quiet - no sounds from even the hallway. The room (king bed) was incredibly spacious. Large king bed and pull out sleeper sofa. Even enough room for a desk and a chair. The bathroom was your standard size, but the finishing touches were very nice. There is free hot breakfast in the mornings with a nice seating area to enjoy breakfast.
I can see how the parking may be an issue, but we did not have a problem at all. And, we stayed on Friday night when the restaurants are sure to be busiest! One of the lots closest to the hotel is a smaller one, and appeared to fill up quickly - especially around dinner time. We were able to find a spot (it was one of many available at about 9pm . . . prime dinner/drinks time) one lot over from the one that is right next to the hotel. We did not find a problem with this at all - a little extra walking never hurts. I can see where people can be displeased with the parking, but to be honest, we did not have a problem at all.
Check out was just as easy! The staff was courteous when I spoke to them prior to our arrival, and when we were guests. The hotel is in a residential area and about 20 minutes (not factoring in traffic) from downtown Charlotte, so I would keep that in mind when choosing the hotel. As HiltonHonors members, we took advantage of a free night here, so I cannot comment on the value vs. cost for this hotel. I CAN say it will be the nicest Hampton Inn you will ever stay in!
