“Would not stay here again”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed November 18, 2012

For a Hilton property this was a disappointment. Location is great, check-in was a breeze and front desk staff very pleasant.....however the rooms need a major gut job. Bathrooms are very small with sinks that sit above the counter and look nice but are not functional. Tile/tub and flooring are all old school. Plumbing noise from other rooms can be disturbing to some. Sheets/pillows were fine but beds are on their last leg. Temperature was diffucult to control in the room. Gift shop in the lobby was nicely stocked and convenient.

“Nice Place for Business”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 15, 2012

Recently stayed here on business (conference). The conference was located in the hotel. Overall this place is very good: the rooms were clean and spacious, the conference space was comfortable and functionable, and all the food i ate at the conference was excellent. The business center was fully equipped, a fully functional gift shop, and very helpful staff. Room service was quick and the food very good. Breakfast, although expensive, was the freshest, best tasting I have had on the road-worth the price. One interesting feature about the hotel is that it is located in the center of shops and surrounded by strip malls- all with in walking distances but not so close as to be a distraction or cause you problems sleeping at night. Food choices was limited
one or two chain resturants and a mexican place are right out side along with a few pubs. Overall not a bad place to spend a few days if business leads you to Charlotte.

Room Tip: Rooms facing the water feature (East side) are fine, just request a room on the 7th floor or higher...

“Makes You Feel Special ;)”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 14, 2012

From the moment we stepped out of our taxi from the airport onto Hilton property, we were smitten! A gentleman bell-hop greeted us; we experienced considerate & efficient check-in & even though we did not have an executive room or lakeside view ~ we enjoyed a clean, good-sized comfortable one on the 8th floor. The hotel dining is elegant & delicious & the wait staff couldn't be more accommodating. Our every need was met, including needing a dress bag (long story)! We only stayed one night (for an Irish dance competition) but left feeling like we had a mini-vacation too.

“Great hotel, difficult access”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 14, 2012

My stay was very comfortable. I was especially grateful for the large desk, comfortable chair and availability of accessible outlets at the desk. Good food in the restaurant. This hotel is very comfortable for business travel. But what a nightmare pulling in and out. From the freeway exit to the turn is maybe a mile and took me at least 15 minutes. I had to cross 5 lanes (single direction) of traffic to make the left turn. The next morning it took me 25 minutes to drive 1.8 miles to my destination. This is not a pedestrian-friendly area so walking wasn't an option. This Hilton is great but there's a Marriott on the drive going into my company's campus that I'll stay at next time.

“Professional, Courteous and Accommodating”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 10, 2012

We have stayed twice at this hotel, both times for Irish dance competitions. Each staff member we encountered was courteous and friendly, able to help with our needs, even offering a better rate for an extra night's stay. The room (11th floor, executive) was quite large with two queen beds, requisite desk area, and seating. There is a small coffee feature, but no fridge/micro combo, so don't expect to keep food in the room. The bathroom was smallish, especially considering the large size of the room itself, but sufficiently furnished. I would have liked to see rooms on a non-executive floor for comparison, and will make a note of that the next time we visit. As far as the location of the hotel, it is right off I-85 on the north side of Charlotte, near Ikea, the UNC Charlotte campus, and plenty of shopping/convenience areas. Because it is a convention center, there is a great deal of coming and going; sometimes parking is at a premium, but we did not experience that at our event. Valet parking is available, but you can self-park in the surface parking for free. A full breakfast is available; I am unsure of the cost because we received free vouchers, but there is an omelet station and self-serve buffet. All in all, this is a very accommodating hotel with excellent staff and the sort of service you would expect from an urban Hilton hotel.
