This hotel is just a quick drive (around 20 minutes) to Charlotte's major venues, making it a solid basecamp for catching a show. The location outside the city center means quieter nights when you're back from the crowd. With late check-in from 4 PM and plenty of parking, it’s a low-stress option for travelers rolling in after work. And thanks to its all-in-one resort setup, there’s no need to leave the property late at night if you don’t want to.
