There are actually a couple of opinions on this one...

I, personally, prefer the Marriott City Center Charlotte, but that is because my office is adjacent, and it is convenient.
When are you going to be there?

One of my favorite properties! Every room is a two-room suite. I stayed there many times as my former company had their offices in the adjacent offices. The front desk supervisor, John, took excellent care of me. Never had to worry about breakfast on the weekends (I'm platinum, but that doesn't include weekend breakfast normally), he'd occasionally buy me dinner - the shuttle was always available for a short run, etc.
Hotel is newer and nice, lounge has good evening food (more than just snacks), and southern hospitality shines. If there is any down side it's the hotel restaurant for dinner - rather pricey for the quality of the food. Other than that it's a top notch place to stay.

Charlotte hotel info (family of 5)
We are staying in Charlotte en route to Hilton Head (Aug.6-7th). Have been checking out the Marriot.com website for hotel ideas/rates. Being a family of 5, we are finding it difficult to find a decent priced room/suite (that includes breakfast). Looks like the RI would be our best bet. Our travel route is 77...so we don't want to stray too far from that. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Several of my family members have stayed at the RI Charlotte South (I-77/Tyvola) once before. Nothing special, but it has a pool and accepts pets. Marriott.com has 1 BR suites for $79 on the night of your stay. That seems like a pretty good rate to me.

Not sure of the rate you can find....
but the Renaissance at the Coliseum is a great property. All suites, so your family will be comfortable, staff is great, if John is the front desk supervisor tell him Bruce from CA sent you - should be worth something

We are a family of 6. When we take a vacation we often use the RI's. Many of them offer a Townhouse arrangement where there is a second bedroom upstairs. (This usually requires an upgrade certificate if you are staying on points) When you figure the cost of a room plus the cost of breakfast the RI's are a pretty good value.
Enjoy the trip

You cant go wrong with the RI off 77/Tyvola.
See if a corner room with 2 seperate bedrooms is available.
There is a Mcdonalds close buy as well as Sonnys BBQ and a Chilis.

Marriott Executive Park or Residence Inn
The Marriott Executive Park is right off I-77. It's south of downtown which puts you pass the traffic. Its close to some restaurants and not too far from the mall where there are more restaurants. I've never stayed in the Marriott, but we've had mgmt meetings there and it seemed to be a nice hotel. There is also a RI that is directly beside the Marriott. A friend who relocated stayed in the RI and it was a pretty nice one, if I recall correctly
The renaissance is a little distance from I-77 and there are only two restaurants in the immediate vicinity. Depending on the time of day you'll have traffic problems in that area.

I used to stay at the Marriott Executive Park (last time was 2 years ago so bear that in mind), and stopped because it got very run-down, and the morale of the staff took a noise dive. It really became depressing to stay there. If anyone has stayed there since then maybe they will have a more recent report....

discounts for RI-77?
Thanks for the info and positive reviews re: RI-I77. That location would be perfect! So far, the cheapest rate I can find for a 2BR is $129 (AAA rate). Do you think the 1BR is big enough for us (2 adults, 3 children), since we are only staying 1 night? The kids could all just sleep on the sleeper sofa (or could we also get a rollaway cot?). I've tried quite a few of the discount codes (gotten from an earlier thread here at FT), but not many seem to work for this RI.

Consider SpringHill Suites Also
Airport SHS shows $69 for a QQ suite (which would also have a sofa or sofabed in the living room) - enough bedding for the whole fam damily, I think.
SHS has free continental breakfast.
There are two others in Charlotte but not particularly close to I-77.
