The hotel staff is consistently praised for their friendliness and helpfulness. However, the hotel's condition is a common complaint, with guests citing issues such as broken elevators, incompatible TV remotes, and unclean rooms. The hotel's location and price are seen as positives, but the lack of a functioning elevator and the state of the rooms are significant cons.

What guests liked
  • Friendly and helpful staff
  • Good location and price
What could be better
  • Broken elevator
  • Unclean and poorly maintained rooms

    My room was clean and stocked with plenty of towels, which was very nice! When I walked in, the room was set to a comfortable temperature, which was enjoyable since it was very hot outside. The staff was very friendly upon check-in and helpful. The breakfast was okay. There wasn't much of a choice for hot items. There just weren't many options. There were scrambled eggs and ham slices. I would have liked oatmeal, grits, or even waffles. There was no yogurt and only plain bagels. I did not utilize any of the other amenities to be able to review them.

    Breakfast was alright. They had two hot items and the standard. Room service was good. However outside the property seems unsafe and people hanging around at night. Someone suggested us to park the car infront of the hotel as there are car break ins due to drug addicts.

    I really enjoyed this hotel! We came for the night to go to a concert at the Bank of America Stadium! It was affordable and not too far from the stadium, about 15ish minutes. The room and bathroom were clean and the room temperature was nice and cool. The beds were comfortable and overall it was a great experience! I highly recommend. If I come back to a concert here I will stay at this location again!

    I was pleasantly surprised; the facility was welcoming upon entry. It is in a busy neighborhood, so that had me kind of skeptical. But once I went inside it was very welcoming, clean and the staff was very nice. My room was great, very spacious. My room that was assigned to me was perfect. They give you a choice of what floor you want, and my room on the second floor was so accommodating, I requested it for my return in 4 days, and my request was granted. Breakfast was terrible, no taste on the 2 choices of omelets, cheese and onion and bell peppers. Other breakfast options were not that great either, sorry. A little more attention can be given to the bathroom, with white tiles, everything shows and there were stains that was not cleaned and a wash rag hanging over the shower curtain that was missed. But on my return, all that was corrected. It's been over a week, and I still have not received a return on my deposit for incidentals. That is disappointing. But overall, my stay was very comfortable.

    The first room had stains on the bed, but the staff kindly moved us to another room without any issue. Unfortunately, the second room had a strong odor that never fully went away. The walls were also very thin, and we could hear hallway noise and neighboring rooms throughout the night. In addition, the bathroom drain did not work properly and would not stay open to drain correctly. The breakfast was also a bit disappointing.

    Friendly and helpful staff. Kristen on the front desk was a real problem solver and so helpful, as was Niles who is the shuttle driver. All the employees smiled and said hello when they passed by me in the hall or in the breakfast room. I was very impressed by the cleanliness but most of all the helpful and sincerely friendly people working there was a real treat. Thank you. Pat Robinson

    Beds were very comfy, and it's nice to have a hotel with normal pillows, not those throw pillows most hotels have gone to now. Beds were very comfy and this hotel had the best water pressure in the shower of any hotel I've ever stayed at. Great big breakfast area as well. Would be nice if they're not busy, to allow noon checkout without charging.

    The staff wasn't very welcoming. when we asked questions about the safeness of the area, we were pretty much brushed off. Not sure how they decide where to put people, but the hotel wasn't full and we were all right next to each other in rooms... and people were so loud.

    Big comfortable bed, great pillows, big square shower head creating a great shower. The room looks like it's been recently remolded great colors. Window looks put over a wooded path. Everything was clean. The front desk,gentleman was pleasant and helpful. There was no microwave ( the man at the front desk brought an old one to to. No blow dryer. The chair in the room and the long bench like couch where I waited for my ride where hard and very uncomfortable

I reached out on multiple occasions, told them my dates and the item that was left. I haven't had any upates on if it was located and how I go about trying to retrieve my jacket.

    For a budget motel, this establishment met all my expectations, and then some. The usual, standard amenities were clean and comfortable. Breakfast was fine. But I really appreciated the friendly staff (Hi Erica!) and the location. Although a bit out of the way, the CATS transit rail station is 5 minutes' walk away, which quickly and economically takes you to the trendy South End area and to downtown. And, they have complementary shuttle service ro the airport. We will be returning!

    Strong Weed smell every where , in the lobby , in the elevators, throughout the hallways . Staff hardly available at the front desk at night hours . On top of it enjoy your co stay with rats . Uggghhh i ran out of the place in 90 mins after checkin. Worst customer care i tied 10 times no call back or front desk put you on hold for ever ....save your peace and sanity ..money is lost anyway ..they dont refund...watch out for shady people lingering out your dooors..i guess dont leave valuables in when you are not in the room.

    Rooms smell like an old factory weird smell and I could hear the girl in the room next to me farting on the toilet there’s a door that connects to the other room and there’s a huge space at the bottom of the door so it’s very easy to hear plus the walls are super thin. I contacted the desk agent and they claimed that no other rooms were available. So I went to sleep and woke up listening to the girls in the room next to me laughing talking loud and using the bathroom. Also air vent was wide open and wouldn’t close and also the shower drain drains super slow so when I was talking a shower I was basically taking a bath too😂 This hotel is gross if you have some sort of standards yeah don’t stay here.

    The room was okay. it did have a slight odor to it. The hotel didn’t seem like it was in the best area beings it was suppose to be the relative of Marriott. Tho we were safe the area gave a different feeling. I was told by the Uber driver that the street right next to the hotel was a rough neighborhood. The staff was nice but I don’t think I would book at that location again

    With all that said, we were originally given a room at the end of the hall next to a door that opened to an outdoor staircase. The door was constantly opening and closing so people staying at the hotel could go out there and smoke pot. We were in our room 10 minutes at the most, and the smell was seeping into our room. The room across from us sounded like they were having a party. Yelling, music blasting. It was ridiculous at 11 pm. Thankfully the employee at the desk was able to move us to another room without question, and he said he would deal with the noisy room. Even with the move, we could still smell pot through our door, and I’m pretty sure it was coming from some nearby rooms. The halls were noisy into the early hours of the morning with kids running up and down and people talking loud. I was woken up at 6:30 am to the smell of weed again. We didn’t eat breakfast at the hotel wanting to get out as soon as possible. I will never stay at this hotel again and would not recommend it. For it to be part of Marriott, I would have expected more. The evening shift employee who was working on 3.28.26 deserves the biggest bonus you can give him and a raise!

    The hotel is not in the best area of town. A lot of homeless and hookers hanging around due to the gentleman’s club up the street. The hotel has been recently been remodeled and looked nice. When we checked in we were given keys to a room that was occupied which made for an awkward encounter. The staff and who I believe was the manager apologized and I understand mix ups happen. The room was not as clean as I would have hoped. The mirror was still dirty which made me question how well the room was cleaned. When we came back from our event we stopped by the front desk to ask for a late check out, he told us to call the desk in the morning and they could help us. Point being we didn’t want to wake up early. We wanted it to be taken care of that night to avoid any fees or mix up. Overall this is a budget friendly hotel and as the saying goes you get what you pay for. Would not recommend staying here if Womens only trip or mother with kids. Wouldn’t have felt safe without my husband.

    I guess my room was kind of ok. One of the pillows didn’t have a pillow case on it. And in one of the corners it was chips or something from the previous guest. Weird smell in the room. Body wash was empty in the bathroom when I arrived. I probably wouldn’t stay again but it was affordable.

    Elevator wasn’t working and so you had to go outside and up the external stairs. The doors would normally have required key card access but because the elevator was down they had the door taped so it would always open and anyone could walk right in off the street.

    The check in was fast, the elevator was broken so we had to use the stairs to bring up our luggage. The stairs were a bit old and flimsy. We did see some garbage on the staircase and smelled like urine. The inside of the hotel was nice, the bed was comfortable, the bathroom was clean, the refrigerator was a bit bigger, so we were able to fit a lot of water bottles. The breakfast was good, and employees were nice.

    Then I walked into my room. My eldest daughter and I immediately caught a faint smell of mildew. Not overpowering, but noticeable. Now, because I travel a lot, I keep cleaning supplies in my bag—I wasn’t thrilled, but I was prepared. Fast forward to the next morning. My younger two headed down to the lobby for breakfast. My middle daughter—Miss Always Running Late—went down after them. When she came back to her room, guess what was waiting to greet her at the door? A HUGE flying roach. I kid you not. She ran to my room in full panic mode asking for bug spray. All I had was OFF from a camping trip (don’t judge—it's multipurpose at this point). I told her to call or go to the front desk. Oh yeah—my room didn’t even have a phone. She eventually got through to someone downstairs, but the front desk said they didn’t have anything to help her. So she sprayed the bug with OFF, and the thing came for her like it wanted revenge! She panicked, I calmed her down, and I handled it (because moms always do). We tried to shake it off and go about our day.Later that night, we got back from an amazing time out in Charlotte.

    I needed to stay here for one thing only- to catch up on sleep. I was unable to do that because I could hear everything from my neighbor’s room. Music, him opening beers, even his snoring. That’s how thin the connecting door was. All drains were clogged and the coffee maker was broken. The room smelled terrible. Stay away from this place!

  • Felicia Jul 2025 · via hotels.com

    --- My stay was really unpleasant. The first issue I noticed at check-in was that the weight room was unavailable. This was something I specifically looked for when booking, both for myself and my son. There should have been a notice on the website about its closure. Secondly, there was blood in the toilet in my bathroom when I arrived — completely unacceptable. Third, the rooms are so poorly insulated that I could clearly hear conversations from the neighboring rooms, which made it very difficult to sleep. Additionally, my room key repeatedly stopped working, and I had to keep going to the front desk to have it reactivated. Overall, I would not recommend this hotel.

    There was a long list of payment options listed on a sign that they don't take. Between me and my friend 3 of our payment methods were not an option. Two of which, weren't even listed on the sign. All were MadterCard or Visa. We were told it was an independent franchise and these were their owners rules. Once we were finally able to pay and check in, our key would not open our door. We were told there was a problem with the lock, and someone would come let us in. We were on a time schedule and didn't have time to wait to be let into our room every time we needed to get in. So we were moved to another room, on the opposite end of the hall our friends were in. I travel a lot and have never experienced this before.

    I booked a room for my dad whose flight was going to be canceled or delayed so he would miss his next flight. He’s 80 years old and was flying home cross country. I booked the nonrefundable room then 10 minutes later found out my dad would make his flight and try to cancel it. He had not checked in and no one had arrived at the hotel. So because I had booked it and tried to cancel it. 10 minutes later they would not refund me. Even an airline gives you 24 hours. I went through Expedia and they tried to get an exception, and I tried to get an exception through the hotel. Their answer was absolutely no. These are things that should be taken on a case by case basis. This was not me holding up their calendar so that they could not rebook the room. This was a 10 minute decision change.

    The one highlight was the service from a team member named Miracle. She was kind, helpful, and showed real empathy during my stay. However, the stay itself was far from restful or productive. I was in Room 101, and both nights were disrupted by loud music and parties going on past 4 a.m., which made it nearly impossible for my wife and me to sleep. During the day, loud construction work in the hallway made it difficult to get any work done in the room. As someone who travels often—especially to Charlotte—this experience has made me hesitant to stay at a Best Western again. I’ve reached out to management requesting appropriate compensation, and I hope they take the feedback seriously.

Also the water in the bathrub wasn't draining when I took the shower. Once again I am comparing this stay to the same chain of Best Western hotels and I am extremely disappointed.
