⸻ Incredible new hotel! What stood out the most was the excellent customer service across the board. Zara at the front desk was especially sweet, kind, and always went out of her way to make sure every need was met. The breakfast was also excellent, with a great variety. I truly felt like I was being treated as if I were at home. Highly recommended!

Great stay!

Perfect! It took me a while to decide on this property due to some of the negative reviews. Don't believe them. It was perfect. Even with a sold out capacity, everything was perfect. The only small issue was that there was only 1 cook during breakfast and she seemed a bit overwhelmed. It's understandable and the meal was still great. I'd stay here again and again.

My wife and I attended a preseason football game at the Bank of America Stadium. This location was very convenient. The employees here are all very nice. The rooms are very clean. Beds are comfortable the showerhead really good water. Breakfast had a wide variety, including croissants, bagels, a yogurt bar, and you could order hot food as part of your stay. All at a reasonable price compared to surrounding hotels.

I stayed at the Element Charlotte Uptown for a Mary Kay event so the hotel was quite busy during my stay. There were some bumps but the hotel staff went above and beyond to quickly correct the issues that came up.

We loved this stay so much. We felt safe/easy walk to the stadium. The room was spacious, quiet, and clean. Bed was comfy. Plenty of room for my kids’ pack n play and cot. Breakfast was nice. Staff were nice. My only complaint was parking. I would recommend to take the staff’s advice and do valet ($42). We chose to park ourselves (supposed to be $30 overnight) and got charged $60 when we left so I’ll work on disputing that - this is not the hotel’s fault just wanted other people staying to be aware about the parking situation in the garage!

Everything was wonderful but our only parking option is $42 a day valet, which seems pretty steep for a downtown of this size.
