Hilton Charlotte University Place
Good location, easy check in process. I like that after hours you need a key to enter the lobby. Safety is something we value as a family.

Wingate by Wyndham Charlotte Airport I-85/I-485
The staff was very nice and the hotel and room was very clean. The beds were a little hard and the pillows weren’t great but I have been known to be picky. Would recommend and stay again.
