DRURY INN & SUITES CHARLOTTE ARROWOOD, Charlotte

The hotel is situated off the I-77 corridor at Arrowood Road, providing straightforward highway access and making it a practical choice for travellers visiting Carowinds, the White Water Center, or driving through Charlotte. Charlotte Douglas International Airport is 9 km away, but there is no shuttle, so a car or rideshare is needed. The Spectrum Center and Time Warner Cable Arena are 11 km from the property. A few chain restaurants and a supermarket are within walking distance, though the immediate surroundings are car-oriented with limited pedestrian amenities. Free private on-site parking is available without the need for a reservation.

Deluxe rooms offer one king bed with comfortable seating, and some include a pull-out sofa sleeper. Two-queen rooms suit families or groups. Two-room suites provide a bedroom separated by a door from a living area with a queen sofa sleeper. All accommodation features air conditioning, heating, a coffee machine, hairdryer, iron and ironing board, and private bathroom with bathtub or walk-in shower. Upper-floor rooms are available by request; no rooms have a balcony. The property is older and some spaces feel dated, with worn carpet and furnishings in certain rooms. Noise from the adjacent I-77 highway can be significant, especially on lower floors and rooms facing the road. The indoor portion of the pool is adjacent to some rooms, so evening pool activity may be audible. Beds are consistently described as comfortable, but pillows are occasionally reported as thin or lumpy.

Breakfast runs 6-9:30 am weekdays and 7-10 am weekends, featuring scrambled eggs, sausage, fresh fruit, oatmeal, biscuits and gravy, and KELSO+BROS® coffee. The 5:30 Kickback® from 5:30-7 pm provides a rotating hot menu - such as taco bars, pulled pork sliders, and macaroni and cheese - plus beer, wine, mixed drinks, and soft drinks. Free popcorn and soda are also available in the lobby from 4-8 pm. The on-site Kitchen + Bar, open Monday-Saturday 5 pm-12 am and Sunday 5-11 pm, offers handcrafted cocktails and casual meals like burgers and pizza. The quality of the included meals is generally good, though the Kickback food can run out early during busy periods.
