airport motel done right
We stayed at this hotel for just one night after flying into Charlotte late that same evening. The driver of the rental car shuttle provided directions, but it took some extra u-turns to finally get onto the property. Maybe it was the missing daylight that made it particularly hard to figure out where exactly the entrance was.
Regarding the hotel itself we came not far beyond the first impression, since we checked in, slept, had breakfast and checked out, all within less than 12 hours. But that is what airport hotels are about, right?
With the purpose in mind we had a pleasant experience. The lady at the front desk was friendly; the suite (ground level, barrier free) was clean and well-kept; the bed was comfortable, and the breakfast was considerably better than what’s normally offered at such an establishments.
We booked the night via the “top secret” option on travelocity.com for a discount rate of just $60, tax included. Looked like a great deal when we made the reservation; turned out to be a great deal when we stayed there. Mission accomplished!
