315@Loso Hotel
This hotel was cleaner than some 4-star hotels I’ve seen. I was under the impression that this is a 2-Star so the room exceeded expectations. The gym was basic. No complimentary water, but microwave in the room. The common area looks nice but the bar never opened and I did not try the breakfast.

Moxy Charlotte Downtown
Beautiful place in a great location, but had to call multiple times to get assistance with missing item in my room, key didn't work at first so required multiple trips to checkin desk, and I never got my security deposit back after waiting for a month.
