Uptown Suites Extended Stay Charlotte NC – Concord

Bad things: No Fresh air inside the room and you cannot open the window. The elevator smells bad all the time and you smell like you drive an old car and oil leaks from the engine. They need to wash the carpet in all corridors. The smoke dedicator alarm inside the room started once I turned on the heater. Something was burning for 10 seconds. Good things: The location is amazing, the room was clean, and the price was good. The property is not for people with lung issue or babies.

To preface this trip, this was a short weekend stay for me, my wife, and our child. First, I will say that the staff was very helpful with whatever needs we had, and the area around the hotel is great. There are several very nice hotels next door to this one, and it gives the area a better look. The bad.... we checked in late one evening and the first smell we were met with was marijuana. It's 2022, I get it, but still, there are some places I would like to take my kid and not have them smell it. We got checked in and there were no issues with that. As we were walking to our room, it became very apparent that this was definitely an extended stay location. Meaning, walking past several of the rooms with the doors open, people actively lived there, not just for the weekend. The halls smelled like marijuana and the carpets had some really bad staining. One in our room, other than the floors being super sticky, it was otherwise clean with the exception of smelling a little musty. I had to walk back out to our car for a few items and while walking through the parking lot, there appeared to be several occupied cars where people were smoking, drinking, and otherwise just hanging out. The remainder of our stay was ok, but there is no doubt that the walls are paper thin and we could hear "everything" that was going on in the two rooms beside us.

This was one of the best hotels that I have stayed at - regardless of price. The room was clean, new, everything worked perfectly and I was shocked at how helpful and friendly the front desk staff was. I loved that there were extras in the room like a full size refrigerator, stove and really thoughtful placing os USB ports for charging devices. The hotel was located close to a main street with gas, food and a starbucks. Finally, most importantly, the room was quiet. The staff left me alone and the room was well made so the exterior noise was non-existent. Thought about staying another night rather than with my family! I would recommend this hotel to everyone.

Our room got fleas! My family and I got bitten by them. They clean only one day a week and the housekeeper didn’t vacuum or even leave a toilet tissue on the cleaning day! We smell cigarette smoke everyday although the hotel is a “non smoking hotel”.
