Budget Hotel Guide: One Week in Charlotte, NC 🏙️

1. Tru By Hilton Charlotte Tyvola I-77 💰 ~$100/night Hilton’s youth-focused brand: compact but functional rooms Wood floors + sliding desk (a bit small), TV with Netflix/YouTube Clean and tidy, 3 pillows (perfect for me) Shared lobby/dining/workspace area ☕️ + free hot drinks Gym + pool, free parking + breakfast included ❌ Not walkable: area feels remote with nothing nearby without a car El’s take: Great value for drivers who prefer simplicity 2. Kasa Edison House Charlotte 💰 ~$180/night Located on quiet Charlotte Drive, with restaurants/stores within walking distance Feels like a quiet suburban home, but rooms are small with no desk 🚗 Parking available but requires registration, thin walls (can hear neighbors clearly) ❌ No breakfast, fixed AC temperature, remember to log out of TV accounts! El’s take: Good location, but flawed details 3. Canopy by Hilton Charlotte Southpark 💰 ~$140/night In upscale shopping area 🌳 – safe and green but not pedestrian-friendly Hilton’s trendy brand, modern and comfortable rooms (sofa + desk + coffee machine) ❌ No kettle (need to get hot water manually), paid parking + breakfast El’s take: Stylish but comes with extra costs 4. Sheraton Charlotte Hotel 💰 ~$140/night 🤡 Avoid! “4-star” label but feels outdated Old carpets + rooms, painfully slow internet Poor outdoor parking conditions, noisy at night El’s take: Stay away! 💣 5. DoubleTree By Hilton Charlotte City Center 💰 ~$160/night Hilton brand, spacious rooms, separate sink and bathroom areas Basic decor but decent Wi-Fi, a few minutes’ walk to downtown 🅿️ $32/night parking, no breakfast included El’s take: Convenient for those without a car, but watch out for extra fees Final Tip: Balance location and cost—choose Tru if driving, DoubleTree if car-free, and avoid Sheraton! #CharlotteHotels #BudgetTravel #HotelReview #TravelTips #Hilton #WhatToAvoid
