One of the better Hamptons

Reviewed By fredinmn

Having stayed in many Hampton Inns, I felt like this is one of their better properties. Rooms were clean and staff was friendly. Breakfast was what I’ve come to expect from Hampton; nothing over the top but very solid. Very good location and easy to get to downtown. Only two minor things that held me back from giving it a 5 were parking is kind of limited and seemed to fill up fast. The other was that all of the trash cans by the elevators and outside always seemed to be overflowing. Maybe because the trash cans in the rooms are so small. Otherwise, hotel was in good order and decorated nicely. Would stay there again.

Loving the new tower!

Reviewed By janeta190

My original reservation was for the Creek Tower. I had some allergy issues in the room and asked to be moved to a different tower. They were so nice! They gave me a room in the new tower! The bell service helped me reload our car and everyone was helpful. The room and tower is beautiful! Having a wonderful time! Messaging with Ivy is also very helpful while you are here. I recommend this place to everyone! Perfect vacation! Thank you all soooo much!

Spacious suite perfect for extended stay

Reviewed By Kygirl56

This Hampton Inn with suites is the best option for extended stays. Quite spacious. Loved having both a couch and a comfortable side chair. The breakfast included fresh fruit— bananas, pears, apples and oranges, more fruit options than I’ve seen elsewhere. And this Hampton had dark roast coffee. Others I have stayed in recently had only light roast. I was there during the nor’easter so didn’t use the beach or outdoor areas and pools but it looked like a great spot to hang out. The hotel wasn’t crowded and was quiet. Daily housekeeping seems to be a past dream but that’s ok as towels and toiletries are left outside door daily. One can place trash outside door too. There were extra trash bags provided in the room.

Myself and my children have stayed there in the past and truly enjoyed the stay. We went to Carowinds and explore around town. We enjoyed the pool each night and we loved Love's the breakfast that was provided. The rooms were clean end super comfortable there was enough space for me to have privacy in the bedroom area, and space for the kids to Lounge in the living space. It was really great having the two televisions, where the kids could watch their shows and I could watch my things in the room. It was very helpful should have a mini fridge along with a microwave. The front desk what's more than accommodating and the staff what's super extra friendly. These people definitely know their job and they seem to really enjoy it, thanks for making our stay great.

The Dunhill Hotel

Decades before The Dunhill Hotel would open, local architect Louis Asbury Sr. was entranced by the great Italian craftsmen who created cathedrals famous for their soaring, elegant roof lines. Today, The Dunhill Hotel stands distinct on the Charlotte skyline, an amalgam of American, British, and Italian influences, something those with an eye for period detail can detect. Opened in 1929 as the Mayfair Manor apartment hotel, with half of its original 100 rooms permanent residences, today's Dunhill Hotel is a thoughtful evolution. A full restoration was recently completed, and various on-going aesthetic improvements all share a common goal--to celebrate the original vision of Mr. Asbury, with a nod to the needs of the modern traveler.

Special experience

Reviewed By Susan S

We stayed here one night to celebrate a special occasion. After reading some recent negative reviews, I was concerned. However, I worried needlessly. From check-in to check-out, everything was flawless. Our room was quite spacious and very clean. And quiet. The staff was welcoming and gracious. We have decided not to wait for a special occasion to return.
