Basically, this hotel comes down to the word, “strange”. They really want to be an upscale hotel but they are trying too hard. They end up just looking plain silly. For example, they have very “Modern” décor that really makes things unusable. For example, our bathroom looked nice enough until I tried to shave – and noticed that there was... more

If you are thinking about this hotel, don't do it! It was the worst hotel experience that I have ever had. Your first impression is that the lobby looks great. Well, this is where it stops because the rest of the hotel is in utter ruins. We were booked on a floor that was not remodeled. The bathroom had not... more

Initially the decor seems handsome however the rooms are poorly lit for the trendy yet dark decor. Women forget applying makeup the lighting is too dark. The towels need to be replaced. The halls and lobby areas are hot. The restaurant is over priced, and DARK can't see what you're eating but that may have been a plus cause it... more

Ok stayed at the Blake Hotel for CIAA weekend (a big party week in Charlotte for college basketball) anyway we got a fabulous rate off of one of the websites, so this made our stay the best. We were on the 4th floor, room in front of the elevators (which I could have changed, but I am sure the hotel... more

The Blake is severely mismanaged. It's renovated many of it's rooms and is "trying" to be a nice, hip hotel, but it simply isn't b/c it seems no one in management cares. Examples: - The renovated rooms look nice, but they choose to buy cheap hard mattresses. - The bathrooms look hip, but then your realize not having a shower... more

I'm actually staying at The Blake as I write this review. I've never been compelled to actually write a hotel review and have always taken the Trip Advisor reviews with a grain of salt. So please, read this review and know that I am just like you. I thought I was staying at a modern, semi-hip hotel, or as hip... more

I just returned from my stay at the Blake Hotel and it was my worst stay ever. The boiler broke - at least, that is what we were told - during our stay so we were out of hot water and thusly, unable to take a hot shower. The rooms appeared to be recently renovated but the bathroom and electrical... more

Choose this hotel if; It's significantly cheaper than the Holiday Inn, Hampton Inn, Hilton Garden and Crowne Plaza. If any of these are the same price or only slighlty more expensive I'd suggest staying in them. Generally the Blake hotel has a lot to offer, good location, nice decor (if a little dark), big modern rooms, city views but I... more

Second Review!! Dark rooms; 85 degrees (after about 7 or 8 hours of 55 degree AC an employee came to fix the system); not enough towels and wash clothes for the number of people in the room; way too small bathroom; bugs, etc. NOW they have charged us $800 for a cracked window that was cracked when we arrived!!! I... more
