My stay at the University Executive Park Holiday Inn was overall fantastic. The rooms were exceptional, very clean, and comfortable, and the service was very friendly and helpful. The location was great, and the dining experience, though good, could have been slightly better. The facilities were well-maintained and delightful.

The hotel is located in the University Area of Charlotte near where US 29 and NC 24 intersect, making it a great location. I was pleased to have stayed near my grand daughter and enjoyed easy access to all requests from retrieving printouts to calling maintenance.

Dining

7.0

The dining experience was good overall, but I felt that the breakfast options were a bit lacking. The price for items like a diet coke at $3 seemed a little high for a snack center.

The facilities at the University Executive Park Holiday Inn were enjoyable. However, the snack center could have better-priced items.

6.8/10

The hotel had clean rooms with plenty of towels, but some concerns about the quality of cleaning arose due to a distasteful smell and a dirty fork found in the fridge. The service was friendly and attentive, although there were delays at times. The location was convenient with plenty of nearby restaurants, yet lacking a sitting area. The dining experience was good with a variety of food items available, but separate charges for dining might be a drawback. Overall, a decent stay with minor room cleanliness issues and delayed service.
