Beautiful hotel but a few warnings
This hotel is close to many restaurants and bars in uptown Charlotte. The location is great for getting on the public transportation railway and the convention center. The hotel rooms were spacious, clean and inviting. When we checked in we were not welcomed very nicely from the front desk lady. In fact we were traveling with a group and no one received good service from the front desk worker who checked us in. Beware to NOT bring kids to this hotel hoping to swim. When I took my child to the YMCA to swim during the only 2 hours in the week she was allowed in the pool; the lanes were in use and she had to leave. Then the YMCA worker was very rude when I asked what other times my daughter could swim during our stay. The pool is ONLY for exercise; no lounging by the pool at this facility. 
We were traveling with a group and we enjoyed the patio with tables and umbrellas almost nightly. The staff was overall friendly with our sometimes rowdy group and I appreciate their understanding of our fun. If I was planning a visit to Charlotte for a group this is an okay choice but just know that the pool is for exercise ONLY. The YMCA facilities are great for the health nut which are free to use for hotel guests. Parking was simple and the parking garage was clean and well lit. Parking was $18.00 a day which is not terrible for a bigger city. Again we had a few bumps in the road with the rude check-in and the pool situation but overall we had a nice stay at the Hilton City Center.
