Homewood Suites By Hilton Charlotte Uptown First Ward
The breakfast was delicious with so many options! The bar was nice with good drinks. The hotel felt very safe and secure with needing your key card to get onto any floor and the hotel. Could use better parking where it’s not so expensive.

Hilton Charlotte University Place
Staff was very polite and efficient. Beds were comfortable. Not a complaint but it would have been nice if the facility had like a small convenience store to get razors, bandaids, little things like that. Otherwise, great stay, plenty of free parking.
