Top 5-Star Hotels in Charlotte

I am literally still crying from my “special trip” that I had planned at this hotel. Flew in family (one of which is sick and dying and it maybe my last time seeing her). Rented fancy cars for everyone. Had planned a spa retreat for my daughters 18th bday and Mother’s Day for the women that have been there for us. I was a 15 year old mother, I was left homeless and hungry. I fought to be a mother, build a business, and my daughter and I had finally made it. I had remembered going to the hotel before for a dinner. I thought it would be a perfect spa day/special place. I am still crying as I type this. - I paid and booked in advance because the booking agent said they could accommodate us at the spa. I paid for the nicest room/cottage. Since we were just coming for a fun day/evening, I wanted it to be perfect. Which is why I went to a “Luxury” resort. I knew things had to be right and with a resort with this level achievements, it would absolutely be right… or so I thought. - First I had to call 3 times and several people after the spa reservation wasn’t made by the original person that booked at Marriott. - Upon trying to get the appointment at the spa, they had no availability and the woman was truly nasty. So I pay private people to come in last minute. - I arrive and the grounds are a MESS. Complete construction site, dead plants, trash, I was so confused.Nothing like what I had been promised or expected. It was a giant construction site. - The valet is the same person as the bellman. They have all these white men in suits standing around that are management while they make one little brown man do all the work. Let’s call this the “Legal Slavery” Marriott. -No one warned us or even bothered helping us to the cottage. This put us behind because we were lost for an hour in the construction. We missed out dinner reservations and had to eat my daughters bday dinner at some crappy place that could accommodate 9 people last minute. - We get to the “fancy” cottage/house. It disgusting. Red wine is all over the carpet. There are broken glasses in the bushes and on the patio (clearly had been there for a long time). There was an ant infestation and all of the food we ordered was covered in bugs. - Then I go to talk to the manager on duty on Sunday. Because I was crying in the middle of the lobby. He was dismissive and walked away and left me crying in the lobby on my daughters bday. The massages were cancelled and everything I had planned had been ruined, completely. - His boss comes in and makes excuses for him and comps the disgusting room that they shouldn’t be renting. However, makes NO attempt to take responsibility for any of the implications that their lies and laziness caused. Nothing was figured out, not only that but I had spent the entire time I was there trying to get things fixed, so I didn’t even see my family that I paid to fly in. I spent thousands to have one special day at their hotel and they sold me something that was a

The environment is pretty good, but the laundry is not clean, and the clothes that were handed over to the hotel for washing actually have yellow spots.

My stay at the hotel was very comfortable but I was surprised to find that the hotel does not offer a complimentary bottle of water which I think is a must for a traveler coming from far off places. I have to go outside searching for a water bottle.

We stayed for one night while on a road trip. The hotel is quite nice and easy to get to. The room was clean and spacious. They accommodated an early check-in which was convenient. Parking is $25 a night. 2 coffees and three muffins in the morning was $27. 😐 In the middle of the night 12:15-1:15 am there was a disturbance on our floor. Yelling, slamming doors etc. I tried calling the desk several times to report it but didn't get an answer. I didn't feel comfortable addressing it on my own as I was traveling with my young kids. I kind of felt trapped in the room....I don't blame the hotel for the disturbance but I do hold them accountable for the front desk not answering the phone. I mentioned the issue to the staff upon check out....they appeared genuine in their apology.

Very clean hotel, giant space inside room. The hotel is a very tall building located at a preferred location in the downtown Charlotte area. The hotel services are very inclusive, you get whatever you need immediately.

Traveled here for my 40th birthday with friends. Hotel parking lot & roads are under construction but inside the hotel was nice. We had a problem with our room but immediately they changed my room with no problem. The hotel has a roof top lounge that was great. Also it has other restaurants & bars inside. We enjoyed our time there & barely left the hotel because it was so much to do in the hotel. It was worth the stay.

When I first walked in the hotel, I was nervous that it was going to be a little dated, as the main lobby has a fairly old style to it. This was an extended business trip (6 days) so my hopes had been a little higher that they usually are when traveling for work. Once your past reception, the rooms are very modern, with plenty of charging points and USB ports for plug free charging. The room was also very large, with 2 kingsize beds and a large bathroom. The staff are incredibly friendly, and really will go out of their way to help. Word of warning, they aren't the best at having guest parcels delivered, as they will store them in corridors and struggle to find them. I eventually managed to convince them to let me go ”back stage” and look myself, and I found my parcels in a corridor outside the mail room. The bar/restaurant at the hotel is well stocked, and the food is amazing. The choice at breakfast is also excellent, with the option of fresh made omelettes as well as the typical buffet. The hotel is linked to a YMCA fitness centre that is free for guests to use. It's a very modern gym with lots of cardio and resistance training equipment. They also have a large pool and sauna, as well as a half basketball court. Overall, an excellent hotel, friendly staff, and great facilities.

Very disappointed in our experience at the DoubleTree. We are Hilton Honors members and have stayed at numerous Hilton properties all over the world. Would never return to this establishment nor recommend it. Checked in after at about 5:45pm on New Year's eve for a quick one night stay after visiting Charleston but flying out of Charlotte. Stopped in the room to drop our bags and then left for NYE dinner at the Capital Grill. While eating, we received notice our flight to Chicago was cancelled for the second time. We were frantically trying to figure out how to get home the next day and found a flight leaving in 90 minutes that had seats available. We left our unfinished dinner and drinks, rushed back to the hotel on Lime scooters, ran and grabbed our bags, ran to the car, and drove the the airport. While my husband drove, I was on the phone with the airline trying to book our flights since it was too close to departure time to be done online. We arrived and were able to secure seats and make it through security with about 20 minutes to spare. At that point, I called the DoubleTree to see if there was anything they could do since we would not be staying there. I spoke with Dina at the front desk who seemed very empathetic to our situation and said how sorry she was for us, how frustrating that must be ”honey,” etc, etc. She said that sadly it was too late for her to do anything and that if we would have stopped at the desk, she could have done something. I explained again we literally had no time to do that, and she said I could call Hilton Honors and they would likely take care of it. So, that's what I did. Hilton Honors rep was great and said it was the hotel's decision, so they would call them for me and I should stay on the line. Immediately, I felt relief. The woman I had just spoken with was kind and understand and would help us; I knew it. Sadly, I was very wrong. Hilton Honors said the hotel was refusing to credit us. I was so confused-why would someone make it sound like she was understanding and kind when in fact that was not at all the case? That is so completely rude and disingenuous. I chatted with another DoubleTree person at 1am that morning when we landed, and she gave me the name of the managers to call on Monday. Today, I called and asked to speak with the manager. I was not allowed to until I explained the entire situation. Again, I was met with empathy and understanding from a different employee. She listened and apologized and said she would speak with the GM and call me back. I just heard back from her and again, they are refusing to give us any credit back. Not the way a business should run and not the way Hilton Honors members should be treated. You are much better off staying at one of the other Hilton properties in the area. In fact, the Embassy Suites in downtown Charlotte was great to us when we arrived on Christmas night and stayed open later at the bar for us.

We booked this hotel only because I have been an IHG member for some time and saw this availability. We usually stay at a Hilton/Marriott brand but decided to do something different. Valet and check-in went smooth, and the rooms are extremely clean and well taken care of. After taking a shower later that evening, I heard this noise, and I thought I was back in the 80's during my party/club days. We were on the 18th floor and the roof top bar is on the 19th. LOUD! I quickly called the front desk and the nicest receptionist ever apologized, immediately found us another room, and sent help to assist with the move. Awesome. Everyone from the valet to receptionist, to the event coordinators were very helpful and understood that we were guests. Good service makes a huge difference. Great place to stay, we will definitely be back. Highly recommend this property
