On Monday, August 20th, my husband and I decided to have a little getaway for my birthday, school is starting soon and we wanted one more escape! So we headed for Charlotte, with the green coupon book in hand. We wanted to stay some where near Concord Mills mall, and found a Days Inn for 44.00, I won't begin to say how bad that was, because I'm here to talk about the Country Inns and Suites, University Place. We looked again at the coupons, and my husband said, let's try this place. Coupon was for 49.00! When we got to the Country Inn and Suites University Place we couldn't believe how beautiful it was, looked brand new, and every thing was immaculate in the lobby!
We were a little afraid, because the coupon was for two, and we had our 13 year old son with us, but they said no problem, and got us a beautiful room right away. My son was so happy with his queen size pillow top bed, and he said: "these are the pillows of the gods!" Pillows were so soft and there were four of them per bed. Everything in the room was extremely clean and there were no stains, peeling paper or anything at all that could make even the most discerning traveler uncomfortable!
We got into our swim suits and headed down to the pool, via the very clean elevator and found the pool area to be just as lovely as the rest of the hotel. I personally loved the hot tub! After our swim, we went out to dinner and shopping and then returned for a very restful night's sleep.
The next morning we had a very good breakfast: there was eggs, biscuits, gravy, cereal, waffles, fuit, coffee and juices.
The only problem we had the whole time was the fruit cocktail had fermented, but I mentioned it to the young lady working in the dining room, and she got fresh fruit cocktail right away.
Everyone at the hotel is very helpful and pleasant. The staff works very hard to make sure everything is super clean and in pristine condition. I saw a lady in the hall polishing the wood until it gleamed!
For the price we paid, the location and how absolutely wonderful this hotel is, we will definitely stay again!
