SpringHill Suites Charlotte City Center
My only con is if I pay over two hundred dollars for a room.I don't feel like I should have to pay for parking.That's just my opinion.Also I didn't like the lighting in the room.There was only one light on the far end of the room, and that was it, which sucked better lighting.
