5-Star Hotels in North Carolina, United States

I recently stayed at the JW Marriott Charlotte, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The hotel’s modern design and luxurious amenities provided a perfect backdrop for a relaxing getaway. My room was spacious, impeccably clean, and offered stunning views of the city. The staff was outstanding, but I want to give a special shoutout to Minho. His attention to detail and genuine hospitality made my stay even more memorable. He went above and beyond to ensure all my needs were met, from offering local recommendations to ensuring I had everything I needed during my stay. The hotel’s dining options were top-notch, with a diverse menu that satisfied all my cravings. Overall, I highly recommend the JW Marriott Charlotte for anyone looking for a luxurious stay in the heart of the city. Thank you, Minho, for your exceptional service! I can’t wait to return.

Arrived at 3 pm and have been told that room was not ready. I decided to leave luggage and join the pool while waiting. At 4:40 pm I received message that room is ready. This is absolutely not acceptable for the reputation of this hotel. When booked the room 2-3 weeks in advance I was interested in booking a Spa. Previously, I have been told that Spa is prioritized for hotel guests. When asked for the treatment availability, there was one 30 min targeted massage available and nothing else. That was surprising to hear. Visiting Umstead Spa previously, I experienced on multiple occasions 50 minutes massage for advertised 60 minutes treatment. They required you to be ready 15 min prior to your appointment and then showed past your start of the appointment time. It is worth money visiting Spa, however advertisement and their policy should be updated to clearly state the time of the actual treatment.

I am literally still crying from my “special trip” that I had planned at this hotel. Flew in family (one of which is sick and dying and it maybe my last time seeing her). Rented fancy cars for everyone. Had planned a spa retreat for my daughters 18th bday and Mother’s Day for the women that have been there for us. I was a 15 year old mother, I was left homeless and hungry. I fought to be a mother, build a business, and my daughter and I had finally made it. I had remembered going to the hotel before for a dinner. I thought it would be a perfect spa day/special place. I am still crying as I type this. - I paid and booked in advance because the booking agent said they could accommodate us at the spa. I paid for the nicest room/cottage. Since we were just coming for a fun day/evening, I wanted it to be perfect. Which is why I went to a “Luxury” resort. I knew things had to be right and with a resort with this level achievements, it would absolutely be right… or so I thought. - First I had to call 3 times and several people after the spa reservation wasn’t made by the original person that booked at Marriott. - Upon trying to get the appointment at the spa, they had no availability and the woman was truly nasty. So I pay private people to come in last minute. - I arrive and the grounds are a MESS. Complete construction site, dead plants, trash, I was so confused.Nothing like what I had been promised or expected. It was a giant construction site. - The valet is the same person as the bellman. They have all these white men in suits standing around that are management while they make one little brown man do all the work. Let’s call this the “Legal Slavery” Marriott. -No one warned us or even bothered helping us to the cottage. This put us behind because we were lost for an hour in the construction. We missed out dinner reservations and had to eat my daughters bday dinner at some crappy place that could accommodate 9 people last minute. - We get to the “fancy” cottage/house. It disgusting. Red wine is all over the carpet. There are broken glasses in the bushes and on the patio (clearly had been there for a long time). There was an ant infestation and all of the food we ordered was covered in bugs. - Then I go to talk to the manager on duty on Sunday. Because I was crying in the middle of the lobby. He was dismissive and walked away and left me crying in the lobby on my daughters bday. The massages were cancelled and everything I had planned had been ruined, completely. - His boss comes in and makes excuses for him and comps the disgusting room that they shouldn’t be renting. However, makes NO attempt to take responsibility for any of the implications that their lies and laziness caused. Nothing was figured out, not only that but I had spent the entire time I was there trying to get things fixed, so I didn’t even see my family that I paid to fly in. I spent thousands to have one special day at their hotel and they sold me something that was a

I liked the overall luxury of the lobby. The location was very convenient and nice. The service was very good. A good hotel.
