"The motel was a little better than average, but the WiFi was terrible.2018-07-09"
"The motel room was hot when I arrived, and it took a few hours to cool off after I turned off the AC. There was a slight smell of mildew. The curtains didn't fully close, so light came in the window. No alarm clock. There seemed to be a lot of paperwork at checkout, and I didn't like that my ID was copied. Consider other options.2018-06-28"
"Poor value. The motel room was tiny and dirty. The amenities were slim to none, and the appliances didn't work. The employees were rude and unaccommodating. I don't recommend staying here.2016-03-29"
"The bed was so hard that it felt like sleeping on a crate with sheets. The bathtub faucet leaked all night. The heating and cooling unit never worked on the auto setting, and the room smelled stale without the air on. The motel staff was wonderful. Be sure to reserve the shuttle; it only runs when requested.2020-03-13"
"The motel staff was great, and the shuttle was convenient.2020-02-19"
"The motel was next to the interstate, so I heard traffic noise all night. The TV remote control didn't work. People talked loudly outside my room. I wouldn't stay here again.2017-05-20"

"I had an excellent hotel stay. Bring your own food, though; there are no complimentary snacks or meals.2019-04-09"
"We were pleased with our 11-day stay. The room was nice and clean and had a fridge, stove, and microwave. Even though dogs were allowed, the hotel smelled fresh and clean. The bed was so comfortable, and there was also a recliner, a full-sized desk, and wireless Internet. The towels were plush, though we had to take our used ones to the front desk to exchange them for clean towels. There were even washing machines for guests to use for free. The employees were friendly and accommodating. The exercise room was quite small, and there was a guest computer there. No complimentary breakfast, but some items were available for purchase. We walked to Harbor Inn for a delicious, reasonably priced meal.2017-09-08"

"Everything about this hotel was excellent, and everything I needed was nearby.2023-04-03"
"A bare-bones hotel room with no closet and poor lighting. The ironing board hung from a wall, and the mattress was too soft. Never got my requested wake-up call. Don't stay here.2023-02-28"
"Sketchy neighborhood, but the hotel was quiet and the beds were comfortable. There were 3 connected hotels and a lot of homeless people nearby.2021-07-01"

"The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. This is the place to stay.2018-01-22"
"The hotel was clean. The bedsheets and towels were crisp and white. My studio had a kitchenette, but no utensils. The decor was dated. Friendly staff. Fine for short stays.2016-06-14"
"The hotel was quite run-down. The down button for the elevator didn't work, and the door handle in my room was broken. People knocked on my door throughout the night, though I had a Do Not Disturb sign on the door. Stay somewhere else.2021-04-11"

"The AC in my room was loud. The hotel clerks were nice, and the free airport shuttle and free park and fly were awesome.2023-02-27"

"The hotel clerks were wonderful; they were friendly and helpful with directions. The restaurant food was unappealing, though the service was great.2019-01-21"
"The hotel room had some pests and the carpet needed cleaning, but my stay was otherwise pleasant.2022-04-03"
"The hotel was in a bad area, and there was construction underway. My room was behind construction plastic, and it was empty. I was moved to a room that wasn't very clean, and the restaurant was closed. Horrible place. Don't stay here.2019-12-15"

"I had a pleasant stay. The hotel was reasonably priced and near the city. The beds were comfortable and clean. I highly recommend staying here.2019-05-17"

"Not a nice location; there seemed to be a lot of crime in the area. Don't stay at this motel.2019-03-25"

"All the hotel employees were nice, and we slept well.2022-07-25"

"The interior was better than the exterior. Nice room, but my experience was frustrating. The key card didn't work, so I returned to the front desk to have it reset. When I went back to the room, I found it was already occupied. The hotel clerk acted like the mistake was mine, then wrote the mistaken room number on my key again. At that point I asked for a room on a different floor.2015-10-24"

"The hotel was dated, and the hallways smelled like stale cigarette smoke. The bed linens were soft and clean, and the toilet was clean. If you just need a low-cost place to sleep near the airport, this place is fine, but I wouldn't stay here for any length of time.2020-06-17"
"The hotel was decent enough for a short stay, but I wouldn't recommend it for a vacation or family stay. The shuttle driver from the airport was pleasant, and the front desk clerk was nice enough. The hallway smelled like mildew and smoke, though it's a non-smoking property. The room was clean, but there was hair on the toilet and in the shower.2020-06-15"

Experience life in the fast lane on a day trip to Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord.
For family entertainment spend the day at Carowinds Amusement Park, nicknamed the "Thrill Capital of the Southeast" or cool off in their Boomerang Bay Waterpark. Take the children to Discovery Place.
From dining and nightlife to sports and cultural offerings, Charlotte has something for every visitor. Tour the Billy Graham Library, or act like a local and head to Freedom Park to enjoy the trails, pond, and dog-friendly atmosphere.
The Little Sugar Creek Greenway was completed in 2012 and provides paths for walkers and bicyclists. For a peek at local plant and bird life, stop by the Wing Haven Garden and Bird Sanctuary.

I’ve been using HotelGuides for over 8 years. The agents are very helpful, and they try to accommodate every request. I like that when they email a booking confirmation to you, they include the hotel's address as well as its interstate exit number.
On place pages like this, we order hotels from lowest cost to highest – except we list low-rated hotels at the bottom of the page.
Most of our competitors order these same hotels in other ways that make them more money.
How Do We Define Motel?
To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.
At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
