I spent two nights at the Blake. I booked late for a major conference, and it was the only hotel remaining. I was worried when I read the other reviews, but my experience was that the hotel was decent, service was good, and it worked for me since most of my time was spent at the convention center. The major... More

I actually thought the room itself is nice, beds comfortable. Bathroom is only ok- not modern like the rest of hotel. There is no separate conditioner which I felt was kind of cheap. My biggeset complaint was the temperature in the room. It was about 75 or so in the room and it would not cool down. This was a... More

Was here for an INFORMS convention. AC broken the whole time here resulting in uncomfortably warm rooms. Leaking AC vent with dripping water. Cockroach. Internet failure because ' too many people logged on'. Further excuse due to 'firewall' issues. Very poorly lit rooms. Pity that most other places were full due to convention. Would have left day 2. Poor reviews... More

Stayed at the Blake because we wanted to be downtown. The location was perfect for where we wanted to go downtown. I am somewhat mystified by some of the other reviews. We enjoyed our stay and thought the service was just fine from the front desk to the parking lot attendant who was hilarious and friendly. We did not use... More

My girlfriends and I stayed at the Blake hotel for CIAA 2011. Ok, the pictures that they have displayed are accurate and gives you the impression that it's a chic modern hotel...but trust this is where it STOPS!!!!!! If you really don't care where you stay and you want to be in the middle of everything then the Blake is... More

After reading a bunch of reviews on this site, I have to admit I wasn't expecting much from The Blake. Since we booked last minute and it was the only hotel downtown with availability, we didn't have much of a choice anyways! Overall, I was pleasantly surprised. The lobby was "swanky" (much like many of the other reviews state) but... More

This place is terrible. It is dirty, bathrooms are tiny, the internet does not work, parking is overpriced. Charlotte has much better options. Motel 6 has better options. More

We stayed here for a weekend to go see the Panthers play for the second time. For the price, you can walk to everywhere you want to go (EpiCenter, the football stadium, shopping, etc) and they will even take you to places within three miles of the hotel via shuttle. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The shower setup was... More

BEWARE of this hotel...it's more like a motel in the rooms. As other reviewers have stated the lobby is quite nice but that is the only thing that is. I would never stay here again and suggest you don't either. The bathroom had pipes that squealed every time you turned on the water and that includes water from other rooms.... More
