Go eat at the side bar! Bartender John was incredibly gracious and the food was AMAZING! We were here for a seminar and it is centrally located with lots around!!!! Great hotel for business events or pleasure stays right downtown!

We stayed in this hotel on a business trip. Location is great, staff is friendly (except for the restaurant), and rooms are nice and comfortable. BUT walls are paper thin! Our neighbor next door was having a casual phone call and we heard every word. If someone next door is watching TV, and it doesn't have to be blaring loud... More

I recommend the Crown Plaza in Uptown Charlotte. The Rooms are Clean and Spacious. The Staff was Courteous and Helpful... What more do you need to know??? I have nothing bad to say about my stay at this hotel... and that is rare for me. Simply... Stay here and be pleased.

Good rooms and a nice walk to attractions. Charlotte is a fun and clean town. Overall good hotel. Some staff lacking in customer appreciation at front desk - didn't make you feel welcome, but others went out of their way to help (Louis). Breakfast bar needs to turn over quicker, but wait staff professional.

Stayed 4 nights in April 2013. Hotel is outdated and showing signs of deferred maintenance. Shower heads loose, floor grout stained, caulk around doors and bath counters looked like a 5 year old did it. Some pulls on the dresser were broken and others barley hanging on. Be sure to turn off the A/C-Heat before you go to sleep otherwise... More

Your feedback regarding your recent visit to the Crowne Plaza Charlotte is greatly appreciated. There is no excuse for the type of maintenance issues you described. The hotel has a strong preventative maintenance program to address just these types of issues, but in this case the hotel obviously fell short of the desired outcome.

Crowne Plaza is a nice hotel - nothing fancy but very convenient. It is within walking distance to the Epicenter and to Time Warner Arena. I would say its 5-6 blocks but it is an easy walk. The hotel itself was clean and the beds were comfortable. The rooms were a little outdated but not a big deal to me.... More
