Sheraton Charlotte Airport Hotel
"Clean"
Reviewed on 14 Sept 2026
Hilton Charlotte University Place
"The Hilton Club floor rooms are nice spacious. Only issue is the bathroom is entirely too small and the faucet isn’t properly over the sink so expect water to splash in the back of the sink. Don’t leave anything that can’t be wet near the back of the sink."

Quality Inn Charlotte Airport
Wingate by Wyndham Charlotte Airport I-85/I-485
"The hotel was very inexpensive. The staff was warm, welcoming and professional. The hotel gave no-tell/motel vibes, like it was used for paid professionals. It kind of creeped me out. That was just my personal opinion. They were clean and everything but gave creepy vibes"
