Not what I expected for heart of Charlotte NC area by colleges. This is a much older SpringHill Suites. The building and area shows that. You walk in to the Lobby and immediately greeted with cigarette smoke smells. The reviews for this hotel were pretty good & that’s why I booked a stay. Those reviews were misleading. My personal opinion of a great stay I guess isn’t the same as others. Hotel needs renovations. Very outdated. Carpets in hall & rooms very outdated as well as furniture and appliances. My family has stayed at a few different Springhill Suites & all pleasant. This one is not even close to the others. I also bring cleaning supplies and had to clean the toilet as housekeeping did NOT do a good job 😥. I reported it to the front desk and all I got was I am sorry I will report it to the manager and no contact from anyone! It is only 4 floors in this building and cleaning shouldn’t be an issue. Several guests car windows were broken out the night before my stay. Another guest informed me as I was checking in. Breakfast is average, no pool and no good amenities. Not worth the money. Due to my room was already paid for and it was 1 night, I made it work. King size room spacious, but not as much as updated & newer Springhill Suires. I will not stay at this particular Springhill suites again and I don’t recommend staying at this particular Springhill suites.
