Hotels in Charlotte
« on: April 11, 2010, 04:14:24 PM »
I have been trying to get a hotel/airfare package for the NRA annual meeting. It seems all the close hotels are booked, unless you want to pay in excess of 100 bucks a night. My needs are simple, 2 beds 5days and 4 nights. As close to the convention center as possible, does Charlotte have good transportation, buses, trollies etc... Any 1st hand knowledge from any locals would be appreciated.

Hope to see you there  ;D ;D ;D

I don't have any info on lodging but I've been to Charlotte a few times.  It's a lovely town and the access to the city is pretty good and easy to navigate.  Airport access from what I recall was pretty good and the locals are what you expect from a southern town, friendly and accommodating.

I never thought about lodging because if I go, I'll be staying with an old Navy buddy. 

I do think, even though you're a Texan, that you'll enjoy the Carolina barbecue.......pretty darn tasty stuff!

time I was in Charlotte you could walk across the downtown in maybe 15 minutes. It may have grown, tho.  ::)

Bus's are OK but usually run on the hour,  They have the LYNX, light rail now, drops you off at 3rd Street and Stonewall, CCC location.

http://www.charmeck.org/Departments/CATS/LYNX/home.htm

CCC is on the southern end of the city, Tyvola Rd. South Blvd, Archdale, Monroe Rd. Lots of hotels a few minutes east on Independence Blvd. just don't be West of I-77, "totally different neighborhoods" on that side of town, and usually where most of the problems are.

There are also Bed & Breakfasts that might be offerring "something" reasonable.

I'll keep poking around and see if some friends can do some recon.

It's grown into a "mini Atlanta"...

My Dad just sent me the info for our hotel room that he found in Charlotte. I will send you the name and phone # when I can get access to my email (at work now), the price was reasonable and the room is really nice from what I can see on their site.

Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. The only thing you can’t do is ignore them

Camels are not allowed within city limits, so all of the caravans have to park out in the country.

Also, we have brick and mortar here now, so we gave up log cabins a few years back.
