Staff were all friendly and professional. The bed was not a good reflection of the employees you could feel every spring and there were many.

Omni Charlotte Hotel
I enjoyed the room & the hotel itself. The only bad thing was that it took over an hour to get my car back from the valet. We also had a later checkout time so it’s not like everyone was leaving at the same time. No explanations were given as to why it took so long
