Top Johnson C. Smith University Hotel Reviews

Hilton Garden Inn Charlotte Uptown

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great. Will stay again."

The Ivey's Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is fantastic and we loved the unique boutique feel. We enjoyed the gym while we were there a couple of times and ordered room service a couple of mornings, which was pretty good. We’ll definitely be back."

The Westin Charlotte

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed there to be close to the stadium & it was perfect"

Grand Bohemian Charlotte, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"The room was excellent. The security was great. You had to have a key card to get on the elevator on the first floor and you had to select your floor from the outside of the elevator. I would definitely recommend staying here."

DoubleTree by Hilton Charlotte City Center

10/10 Excellent

"Great place"

Moxy Charlotte Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice !!! I have stayed here several times it’s probably one of my favorite in Charlotte. Very close to everything."

Residence Inn by Marriott Charlotte City Center

8/10 Good

"Clean room and good location"

Aloft by Marriott Charlotte City Center

10/10 Excellent

"I booked a VERY last minute stay at Aloft after a poor experience in a moldy, Concord hotel. Booked and arrived 25 min later at 11pm. I was welcomed by a kind and patient front desk staff (Adarian!) who even remembered my name and my dog's name throughout our stay. The room was clean (thank god!) and I was finally able to rest. My pup was happy too! I did not get a chance to use the amenities but I saw several guests socializing at the bar and pool table area watching the game."

SpringHill Suites Charlotte City Center

10/10 Excellent

"If you're going to see a concert or a game at the area, then this HAS to be the place to stay. Nothing beats the 1 minute walk to the hotel after the event is over. The room was big, clean, nice and cold, pillows and bed were soft, shower and bathroom was spacious (I had Disney hotel room vibes). The staff were friendly and informative and the breakfast in the morning was so on pointe. You hear and read about a "warm breakfast" but this was legit and with options beyond a do it yourself waffle maker. We're already looking at another concert AND to stay here."
