Very Happy with Choice!
We stayed for one night to see Miami Dolphins play Panthers at Bank of America Stadium! I always use Trip Advisor and was impressed by all the Excellent ratings for this Hotel which did include issues with parking. If you don't get parking included with your rate - valet parking is $22 whether you park 1 minute to unload or 24 hours for your stay. I booked through Hyatt.com and noticed they had a package that included valet parking for only $12 extra BUT I decided NOT to get the parking included. WRONG THING TO DO!! We read reviews about paid parking across the street but no nearby street parking. We opted to pay in the lot which is right across the street. It's $6 whether you park for 1 minute or 12 hours, which means you'd have to pay $12 for a 24 hour stay. Well, we parked for 1 hour before the game and paid our first $6 and then we got back really late and paid another $6 for the next 12 hours we were there before checkout. Well, you do the math - we could have paid $12 when I booked through Hyatt.com for 24 hour valet parking where your luggage is unloaded and car parked. BUT, we opted to do other and ended up still paying $12 and we had to carry our own luggage across the street. We will book through Hyatt.com next time and get valet parking included in the package because it's a Great Deal. We were very pleased with the location even though it is near the bus station. We did walk down about 1 block or more to the CVS by the bus station and there were alot of people out there but we felt pretty safe but would not walk around at night. You have to use your room key to run the elevator so it's a very secure hotel. We were very pleased with the 2 queen beds in the room and we slept wonderfully. We didn't have the full fridge but did have a small one along with coffee maker and microwave which was plenty for the time we were there. The water pressure in the shower was GREAT!!! It was very quiet at night and we didn't hear any hallway noise or others in rooms next door. The continental breakfast was free and it was WONDERFUL. They had someone cooking omelets to order for whoever wanted it! They had fresh scrambled eggs, meat, hot oatmeal, muffins, french toaster sticks, fresh fruit, juice, starbucks coffee and more and there was plenty of sitting. The breakfast on site meant alot because there wasn't other food nearby without driving. We were very pleased with our stay and will stay again when we return to Charlotte.
