One of the best small hotel experiences ever.  The vibe is slightly boutique-ish but not at all stuffy.  Here are some of the highlights of my stay.\n\n- Reasonable price per night for what you get.  See next bullet point.\n- Free breakfast 6-9am!  And not just any breakfast... bacon, eggs, sausage, french toast or pancakes, omelette bar (!!!), fruits, yogurt, cottage cheese, cereal, pastries, oj, apple juice, coffee, and tea.  Very impressed!  It is located right in the dining room in the lobby.  A great way to utilize the lounge area in the morning.\n- Trendy and modern decorations.  Very young.\n- Close to everything in Uptown Charlotte.  If you are going to take the NBEO Part 3 this is great because you won't have to worry about breakfast and the walk is close by.\n- Epicenter is across the street.  Plenty of food options and shopping.\n- Front desk staff was so nice!  Always greeted whenever we entered or left.  It's the little things that count.\n\nI had a great stay and would recommend this hotel to anyone who is visiting Charlotte.
