I spent two nights at this hotel. The staff at check in were extremely friendly. My room, on the 14th floor, was comfortable. The room, toward the back of the hotel, was very quiet. I don't really like staying in hotels, but this one was pretty good. I'd be willing to stay here again in the future.

The staff at this Holiday Inn is very friendly. There is a lot of construction going on, which can be chaotic for guests at a hotel. They make it work! My room was clean and whatever I needed Sara took care of it. I highly recommend this Holiday Inn.

I have to admit that after reading some of these reviews I was a little concerned with staying at this location. But after arriving, all my concerns were put aside as I was welcomed by some of the best front desk agents I have ever experienced while staying at a hotel. I love the updated lobby and room.

Stay during a recent business trip. Very clean rooms! Beds & pillows very comfortable! TV remote control was not working but once I told them they fixed right away. My only issues was that my room was located on the "street" side so must have been thin walls or very noisy street because traffic noise keep me up although within... More

My husband and I traveled to Charlotte and stayed at the Uptown Holiday Inn. I could not believe everything I received. Because I was a platinum priority club member, I received access to the concierge lounge with free drinks and breakfast. I also received a welcome bag that came with a great welcoming smile from the front desk. One of... More

My wife and I stayed here one night for a concert at the Time Warner Cable Center. We used points so only paid for parking. Staff at check-in were abrupt and didn't explain hotel services or location of pool/work out room, etc. The desk clerk said we could get points or a snack bag as a priority club perk. I... More

As a platinum priority club member, I have always received perks and top notch treatment - don't expect it here. I stayed on the concierge level - the lounge is closed on the weekends. Even though there is a separate area for priority club members to check-in at the front desk, you get nothing. No snacks, drink tokens, not even... More

I would completely avoid this hotel. I travel a lot and I am a Holiday Inn Priority Club Rewards member. This hotel is a little pricy, but I don't mind paying for a nice place. In this case, you DO NOT get what you are paying for. Besides being a little run down and dingy, the staff is very rude.... More

Walking distance to all of the uptown. Overlooks Time Warner Cable Arena. Comfortable, quiet. I could cool the room with the AC (some other hotels wouldn't go cool enough to suit me). My room was ready when I arrived. The checkout was easy. Great desk for working, chair with ottoman, king bed. Ironing board and iron. Mirror and sink are... More
