"Our room was very clean. They are pet friendly which is fantastic. Close to restaurants, stores, and the amphitheatre. Plenty of parking. The staff was very friendly. The room did smell like a smoking room but a little febreeze helped. The halls have a horrible odor. The stairs, elevator, and common areas could be cleaned a little more often. Overall, we would stay again due to being pet friendly, price, and location"

Top University City Hotel Reviews

Sonesta Charlotte Lower South End

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing experience"

Drury Inn & Suites Charlotte University Place

10/10 Excellent

"Softest quietest bed in the world, amazing shower/bathroom setup, very friendly staff. I couldn't figure out why our AC was cutting out every 5 or so minutes when trying to cool the room down upon arrival, but it may have been User Error. The room could've also used some garbage bags, but other than those two things, this was a 10/10 stay. I will be staying here every time I'm in Charlotte from now on."

Home2 Suites by Hilton Charlotte Uptown, NC

8/10 Good

"Great location and close to all the venues! Only issues we had was parking. The hotel cannot accommodate our Mercedes Sprinter Van in their parking garage due to height limitations and alternate parking is not convenient. The receptionist gave us info to park at venue across the street, but that venue was not cooperative. We had to play the street parking game with meters and constantly moving it due to time limitations."
