Top hotels in The Peninsula
Omni Charlotte Hotel
Sheraton Charlotte Airport Hotel
"One night stay at this CLT airport Sheraton. This is a full service hotel that is showing its age. Could use a refresh. Staff were very friendly and helpful overall. Hotel was relatively clean, just more a matter of things being old. Beds were not great. Dinner at the bar was decent by hotel standards. ..."

Sheraton Charlotte Hotel
Quality Inn Charlotte Airport
"The airport shuttle was the biggest highlight of this property. Very convenient. The property seemed to have renovations going on and the entire lobby seemed to be missing paint. The property is dated but modern enough for a quick stay. Would recommend for the price and location."
