A great hotel alternative in Charlotte is The Home Collection--
http://www.thehomecollectionclt.com/
They've got more than a dozen furnished condos and apartments in the city's best neighborhoods (Myers Park, Dilworth) all within 2 miles of Uptown. Midcentury-modern mixed with antique furnishings and original artwork.
Ideal for business, leisure, home-hunting, relocation, etc. and about 15 minutes from the airport.
