Stayed at Comfort Inn Carowinds June 2-5, 2008. This is an excellent middle of the road hotel. The rooms were neat, comfortable, two comfortable double beds with nice 2 pillows per bed. Fridge and microwave in room. We absolutely had no problems. We have timeshares and are used to staying at 5 star resorts, so I was skeptical of this hotel. I'm glad I went ahead and booked. This is as good as any Best Western we've stayed at.
We were across the street from Carowinds which is like staying across the street from Disneyworld with the parking lot in between.
Amenities in addition to a nice comfortable room were a nice clean pool, free continental breakfast with pastires, belgium waffles, cereal, boiled eggs, milk, juice, and goumet coffee.
It is located in a safe part of town. Never felt threatened. The staff were friendly and courteous. Peggy who is the sales director was very nice and helpful.
The purpose of our visit was to catch a flight out of Charlotte, but combined a few days with the amusement park. The park was absolutely great. No waiting in lines yay!! My oldest daughter has been to Six Flags in Arlington, TX, and says this park is just as good as Six Flags. It was nice and clean, great rides. The best was Afterburn!!
Great water park also which is connected to the theme park. Totally unlike Disney where you have to catch a bus or monorail to get from park to park. The parks just flow into each other here.
There is a Wendy's right next to the hotel. A Papa Pina's Italian restaurant which is just ok. It has a bar if you just want to pick up a drink. There is some kind of Mexican mall right beside it. Two miles down the road is an upscale mall and lots of restaurants. Ate at SaltGrass which is excellent steaks. Cracker Barrel is one block away.
Get back on 77 North and take Exit 6B to Charlotte Airport which is about a 15 minute drive at 8am morning rush traffic! Not a bad drive.
If we come back to Charlotte, we will stay here again as I have read on this web site that a lot of the airport hotels have a lot of car break-ins. This hotel was well lit and I felt very safe.
