AC Hotels by Marriott Charlotte City Center
This was my first time here and it was amazing. The room was clean, couldn’t see really in the bathroom due to a light being out. I really loved the balcony and the view from the rooftop. I feel like the parking should be free for all guests as well as the breakfast but overall it was beautiful.
