I read a lot of bad reviews about this hotel and I wondering if those guest stayed at the same place I did. This hotel was great, it wasn't noisy, it was clean, beds were comfortable and shuttle service was available. However, the only flaw was phone calls were expensive and my cellular was broken. On the other hand, I... More

Stayed at the hotel while attending a conf. at the convention center nearby. The staff was friendly but that's about it in terms of good things to write about this hotels. First off, i had torn sheets and bath towels in the room. The room could have been cleaner. the remote to the TV was missing a battery cover and... More

The pretty pictures for this hotel don't capture the experience. Feels a bit like an old Hollywood facade where the front is good but there not much behind the scenes. Not clean and service team needs training. Beds aren't comfortable. Cheap and a decent location but that's it. Bell and front desk were clueless about local destinations, transportation and other...

The service was absolutely horrible! However, the pool was nice. But the other services were a disappointment. There was loud music and disturbances at very early hours of the morning. I would not recommend this hotel for a long stay. More

There's a part of me that would suggest you read this in the voice of Stefon from SNL. "If you're looking for a good time in Charlotte, look no further ..." If you're in town from out of state and you have a long night of bad cocaine and hookers on the itinerary, this is the place for you. Every... More

Remember that Coen Brothers movie "Barton Fink"? The Blake is basically just like that. Brown and orange and meaningless. Probably the worst hotel we've ever stayed at in an urban setting that's trying way too hard to be chic. A couple starters would be: having sheets that actually cover the mattresses (along with mattresses that are not made solely of... More

Large hotel in the heart of Charlotte, 20 minutes from the airport. Loved the view from my room The hotel consist of two towers, one is closed off due to renovation but it does not interfere with the daily operation of the hotel. Complimentary breakfast is a plus since I had to run out daily for my early morning meetings More

I stayed with a convention this week with work. We were split up amongst a bunch of hotels and a few of the people in my group at this conference stayed here.
