Originally from Brooklyn, NY, I moved to Charlotte, NC some time ago, and have been begging friends to come down to the South and visit. Of course, the weekend they decided to come, I was having renovations done on the house...(Of course)
I decided to book the King Suite at Ms. Elsies, since it would be 3 of us, and I'd read about it in a Essence magazine feature some years ago. I called and spoke to Cheryl Watkins, the owner, and warned her that 3 women who went to HS together wanted to have a sort of ladies night experience there, and would there be any issues ( I anticipated alot of giggling and good girl times that weekend). Cheryl was great from the start, and when we arrived there, we immediately felt like we were in Aruba!! You really do forget that the your still in the continental US...lol.
The place is gorgeous, flawless, awesome!....Not enough can be said about the feeling you get when she gives you a tour. The KingSuite made us feel like celebrities, and the bathroom........oh my gosh.....the bathroom is fit for the rulers of a dynasty! We had a great time, and the 3 course breakfast is something that must be experienced. The fruit plate alone....You just stare at it in awe ( I'd never seen starfruit before). We had a great time, and I'm sorry I didn't have my long distance boyfriend book this room the last time he came down and wanted to do something special for me : D A must see and stay for anyone visiting Charlotte, or who just wants to get away from their own home.
