Homewood Suites By Hilton Charlotte Uptown First Ward
4 stars because they first put us in a room that wasn’t flipped yet but it was straightened out. Enjoyed the breakfast, the gym, and common areas here. We enjoyed it & would consider staying here again since it’s clean & walkable to many restaurants.
