I live in Charlotte and cannot wait to take a trip back to the Duke Mansion!! We booked a room for one night the night before my daughters wedding. The hotel and it's staff were amazing. The room was huge and the bathroom wonderful. The history of the house is also interesting. It was perfect when everyone came the morning of the wedding to get dressed and gather prior to leaving for the church. It also had a wonderful screened in porch that looked out over the back yard. The service was amazing and they were great about making sure that everyone had breakfast... which also was wonderful.
Thanks so much Duke Mansion for being part of my daughters wedding weekend. I cannot wait to come back just to take a mini vacation in my own back yard.

I was in Charlotte on business this week and spent two nights in the Dowd Suite. First and foremost, the staff is the greatest asset to the inn. Very warm and friendly, and attentive. The room was gigantic with a wonderful screened porch off the back, two-person marble shower, garden tub, 10 foot ceilings (maybe higher?), flat screen television, wireless internet and there was even a bidet in the bathroom. The bed was very comfortable, and having gone to college in the area, I especially appreciated the Springs Industries linens. Nice touch! The breakfast was great - loved the cheese grits. I enjoyed have a selection of great newspapers in the morning - Wall Street Journal, New York Times, USA Today, etc. I will not hesitate to stay at the Duke Mansion for future trips to Charlotte. Glad to see they're members of Select Registry too. I enjoy SR properties very much.

Our room was on the 2nd floor and was pretty nice but it sort of looked worn out on some of the details. It had some nice touches such as a flat panel TV and internet access. Breakfast was good and they had a wide selection of goodies. We arrived just as an event was about to get underway and it seemed like caos had erupted here. If I were to stay here again, I would make sure that there were no events going on during my stay. The best thing about the Duke Mansion was that the rooms were enormous!

The location and setting are beutiful BUT...my room as well as that of another guest who arrived at the same time smelled so musty both of us went to the front desk to inquire about air freshener. If you have any allergies do not stay at the Duke Mansion. There was visible mildew around the cold air vent! The carpet in my room was extremely worn as well as the bedspread. The exterior of the mansion had peeling paint and needs work as well.
