COURTYARD BY MARRIOTT CHARLOTTE NORTHLAKE, Charlotte

The hotel sits in a business park area, providing a straightforward location for both business and leisure travellers. Downtown Charlotte is reachable within 15 minutes by car, and the airport is 16 km away - no airport shuttle is available, so a taxi or rideshare is recommended. Several fast-food restaurants and a Dunkin' are within walking distance, while a mall and shopping outlets are a short drive away. The property is adjacent to a Residence Inn and offers direct highway access.

Room types include a Standard King with a pull-out sofa bed and a Double Queen with two queen beds and a chair. All rooms are described as spacious and include a private bathroom with a bath or shower, a tea and coffee maker, a seating area, and a wardrobe. Some rooms feature a microwave and fridge discreetly built into the cabinetry. Free WiFi is available in rooms. While design is modern and comfortable, noise from hallways and the street can be noticeable; cars and motorcycles are audible from road-facing rooms. No rooms have balconies.

The on-site Bistro offers American dishes for breakfast and dinner, with breakfast available for purchase (not included in the room rate). The dinner menu includes items like grilled chicken sandwiches and wings. The bar serves wine, champagne, and kids' meals are available for an additional charge.
