No title - expert review
Within walking distance of the convention center, this is the city's largest convention hotel. The expansive main lobby, with its woodwork and shades of green and gray, feels a bit clubby. Guest rooms are done in blues and plums. Bravo! - its popular signature restaurant, which serves northern Itali...

The price was cheap but right - user review
A surprise when the coat hanging rails in the wardrobe crashed to the floor at 5:00am. A surprise when a hotel employee walked into the room unannounced using a master key and without knocking just checking which rooms had been made up . The hotel was OK for the price, but could easily be made much ...

Hotel in Transition - user review
Hotel has changed owners recently, and is in the midst of downsizing the number of rooms while trying to upscale the quality. Makes for a strange place brand new flat screen TV's on top of very old ugly dressers and 1960 style carpeting. Cons: no restaurant, very boring self serve breakfast, wi fi o...

not impressed - user review
I do know that the hotel was in a remodeling state, but wallpaper was coming off the walls, the carpet was old, it just wasn't that nice. On the other hand, the bedding was comfortable and I liked the 50's look. Traveler's tip on dining.There are many great restaurants in downtown Charlotte. One in ...

Has potential but not for a long time yet! - user review
I must admit that if i had it to do over again i would have slept in my car. The hotel is on the verge of renovating but it lacks everything. The room was ugly and old, the bathroom was falling apart, you needed a PHD to work the TV and the air condition system made too much noise. You pay for every...

Very Confusing Atmosphere - user review
I read the reviews before, but since they were mixed I gave the Blake a try. . . I wished I had stayed somewhere else really. Only certain parts of the hotel are renovated. The lobby is nice. The elevators are nasty and old, the halls are old. The rooms are incredibly small and the only perk is the ...

Only if you’re not picky - user review
I stayed at the Blake for 3 nights in February. I have to stress it's not nearly as bad as most of these reviews make it out to be. If this is a leisure vacation for you and you really want a top notch hotel to enjoy, don't stay here. If you're on a short trip and don't mind a hotel that's a little ...

Very Impressed - user review
I was very nervous about the hotel because I got a good rate. The hotel staff were very kind and helpful. The room was comfortable. One thing that I didn't like was the fact that the hotel guesses had to pay for parking. Also, I wish there was a more convenient way to get from the lobby to the parki...

Not What I Expected - user review
Online the hotel looked newly renovated. Once we got there we realized that was only at the lobby/front desk. The room gave a mixed feel of modern/hip and tacky/old. You had a flat screen on an old wooden dresser, a new modern desk/chair with a older/worn chair. The bed was like sleeping on a piece ...

Rooms are small, maintenance going on at the hotel at the time we were there. Had to pay to park in a parking deck that was not attached to the hotel. Probably would stay there again simply because of price. I would not stay there...

Fabulous Art Deco - user review
This hotel has been under renovation, but they seem to keep it pretty well hidden. The staff is very friendly. If the look and environment of a hotel is important to you, this hotel has style! Hip and retro. None of that nasty hotel decor commonly found in hotels I usually find myself in. No elevatt...
