“Nice place for short stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 February 2012

person found this review helpful

I had business at two locations in fort mill so this hotel was really well located right off hiway 77. It is by no means luxurious...but clean, utilitarian, nice size rooms and well lit safe parking (female traveling alone). Breakfast was adequate enough to not need to leave property and staff was amazingly friendly from front desk to maids... Very reasonable rates with AAA.

Room Tip: No elevator so if you are steps challenged, make sure to reserve a ground floor room

“Excellent choice!”

I was in the area for a wedding & this was a convenient place to stay. It's easy to find. Well maintained. Friendly, pleasant, harwdorking staff. I booked a standard room with a king bed & got one of the rooms with a jacuzzi in it. Sweet!! The scambled eggs, biscuits & gravy and make your own waffles were a nice step up from your basic continental breakfast. I don't have a laptop or smartphone so the free business center computer in the lobby was a plus, too.I didn't go to any of the 4 restaurants near the hotel but they're all easy to get to - 3 are a short walk away. Thanks folks. You helped me have a great weekend.

“Wonderful place and people - cannot go wrong here!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2011

people found this review helpful

I had to stay near Carowinds for business and selected the Quality Inn for several reasons: microwave and fridge in room and hot breakfast, but what I got was so much more!

Friendly staff, clean rooms, decadent hot breakfast, and people who truly take pride in where they work and are concerned about you as a person. Because of that, my stay here wasn't limited to just one week - I stayed throughout the duration of my work project, a grand total of six weeks! No way would I have done that if everything hadn't been perfect.

This hotel was quiet and safe, the staff was happy to help me make my reservation every week and answer any and all questions I had. On average, I stayed 4 days a week and it became my home away from home. I will definitely be staying here again when I return to Charlotte

Room Tip: There's two floors and no elevator, so if you don't want to bring suitcases upstairs request...

“Great stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 October 2011

people found this review helpful

When flying out of Charlotte NC (a 4 hour drive from our house), we like to stay overnight just over the state line in SC so we don't have worries about missing the flight. We have stayed other places near Carowinds but this Quality Inn was by far the best. Very helpful, friendly check-in/reception and with my Choice Privileges membership we were each given a welcome goodie bag with bottled water and loads of snacks! Plus they had fresh chocolate chip cookies and apples out in the lobby/breakfast area along with tea/coffee/hot chocolate available. The room was clean, spacious and had nice amenities. We could walk over to the Cracker Barrel restaurant for dinner and it was very easy to get on/off I-77. The room was quiet and we had a great night's sleep and then there was a wonderful breakfast buffet with more options than you usually see at this type of hotel. Definitely this Quality Inn will be our choice in the future when we are up that way. Also, we ended up paying less than $53 for the night!

“Friendliest staff, will stay again!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 August 2011

person found this review helpful

We stayed here two nights, arrived after visiting the Nascar Hall of Fame, which was about 20 minutes away. First and foremost, the staff here is so friendly, everyone, from the front desk, to the breakfast attendant, to the cleaning personnel. Everyone said hello with a smile!

We chose this hotel because it is right across the street from Carowinds, and because of the price, couldn't be beat. We were able to eat breakfast and make it to Carowinds without any delays, and it was very nice to be so close when we left the park with two very tired children.

My only complaint is that our room smelled like it had previously been a smoking room. From what I understand, since this hotel just became a Quality Inn, they will be doing renovations after the Carowinds season dies down. It wasn't bad enough to ask for another room, but definitely noticeable.

The air conditioning ran constantly, which was nice from a circulation standpoint, and also that it kept the room quiet. There is no elevator, the stairs were right by our room and it was very quiet. I am a very light sleeper, and never heard a thing.

Breakfast consisted of scrambled eggs, biscuits with gravy, delicious muffins, bagels, toast, fruit and yogurt, plus cereal for the kids. The breakfast attendant was very kind to get us extra hot water for our tea since the hot water provided was lukewarm. She also offered us bottled water for our trip on our last day when she saw us filling water bottles. We declined, but I thought that was nice of her to offer.

The rooms were clean enough that we would stay again, and like I said, the friendliness of all of the staff and the price just couldn't be beat! I would have left a 5 star rating had it not been for the smokey smell in our room.

"Thank You" for sharing about the hotel and staff, It's alway wonderful to hear guest feedback. I'm very Sorry that you had to deal with a room someone had smoked in, we do try to make sure that all rooms are smoke free, but sometimes one may get by us. However it was nice to hear all the wonderful feedback good and bad. If I or anyone else here at the hotel can be of assistance to you please let us know. It is guest like you that makes our jobs great.
