Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Charlotte/Northlake

The hotel sits a little back from the road, so traffic noise wasn't much of an issue, even though the main road gets busy. Almost all the rooms have been renovated recently. Check-in went smoothly, and they put out a small breakfast in the morning. Everything seemed clean and well kept.

Charles at the front desk was a real asset, pleasant and professional, and I got a chance to tell manager Mr Patel and his wife how much I appreciated the hotel and team. They were sweet to talk with. We were here for a graduation, and the comfortable, quiet rooms had everything we needed. The cleaning team did a great job, and everything was so clean. Breakfast was fresh and good for what's included, even if it's nothing fancy. It was nice not to have to go out for breakfast. There's a waffle house and Starbuck within walking distance. No concerns at all. I'd recommend the hotel and stay again.

The room was spotless, but keep in mind housekeeping doesn't come until your fourth day, and the small bin was overflowing by checkout. We stayed three nights. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom lighting was good for getting ready, and the shower was nice. It was a basic hotel with what we needed, about a 15-minute drive from the city centre and 10 minutes from the airport. Reception staff were helpful and kind when we left our key in the room. Breakfast was just okay. I caught the housekeeper trying to steal my airpods, but the manager helped me get them back. There was also a car break-in in the car park, and police came to talk with the manager while we were checking in, which made the place feel less reassuring, though that wasn't the hotel's fault.

The day and night staff were all polite and wonderful, and there are a Waffle House, Starbucks, and circle k within walking distance. We had a great stay. The place was very clean, the shower was great, and the bed was so comfortable that I slept better here than at home. Breakfast was pretty good too, especially the make-your-own waffle area.
