The meeting room was so cold there were people wearing their heavy winter coats. One place to eat in the Hotel. After standing in line 30 minutes for a sandwich, guess what they ran out. If you know you there is going to be a convention of 1700 or more people you plan for it. I repeat, do not schedule... More

The internet photo show a classy high dollar hotel. Check-in becomes reality! The Beds were HARD HARD and pillow lumpy. The air rattled even after it was fixed. The room was covered in dust. The phone was missing all the service buttons. We were supposedly in a renovated room with new furnishings, NOT! One Towel, dirty toilets, no soap, at... More

Stayed at the Blake for a Anime convention and was really really disappointed for the price paid. Half done renovations, non working ice machines on two floors (there are only three ice machines in the first place) scary scary malfunctioning elevators, over priced food and drinks, rude staff. The parking is over priced for no one being responsible for watching... More

We are attending the 2012 Ichibancon- a 4 day event at The Blake and wanted to share with readers how well organized and efficient the staff at the hotel has been. Imagine a deluge of 1000+ teens dressed in their favorite Anime costumes (some very very elaborate) attending a conference with high-brow sessions taught by experts from around the country... More

My husband and I stayed at The Blake for a Carolina Panthers game. Check in was a disaster, the staff overwhelmed and frazzled. At first glance, the decor looks appealing, but under closer inspection it is cheap and dirty. The bathroom was moldy and the water was brownish. There was a good crowd of people staying there, and it was... More

This hotel is interesting... upon arriving at our first room, we noticed used glasses (with wine in them) and an unmade bed. They quickly gave us another room with a better view. Overall, the experience was alright. The hotel is clearly going through some renovations, but our room was nice. My complaint: I bought a new dress for a wedding... More

I feel for the Blake Hotel. Really, I do. It's an older property, and they've really TRIED, but... well? You can't make a silk purse out a sow's ear. Sorry! So, the hotel is as pictured on the website--however, it reminds me of a line from the 90's movie Clueless--It's a full-on Monet. From far away, it's okay, but up... More

A couple friends and i went to a Carolina Panthers football game and wanted to find somewhere decently priced to stay for the night in Charlotte, NC. We found the Blake Hotel online but the reviews had us a little worried but we were only gonna be there for a short time. We made the drive up and the hotel... More

We stayed here for the ACC championship (go Tigers!) in December. There were also other events going on, so the hotel was booked solid. I read lots of reviews about the place, with almost all being negative. Those people are CRAZY. This is one of the best experiences I have ever had. Our room was in great shape with a... More
