Moxy Charlotte Downtown
I didn't have the breakfast but our room was clean and comfortable. Its downtown so it noisy at night but to be expected. Parking was expensive because the comedy show so it wasn't a surprise.

315@Loso Hotel
Everything was great other than the back and use doors were inaccessible at night. Our room cards would not work on the doors. We had to walk around the entire hotel. Not safe for women traveling alone.
