I had to take a quick trip to Charlotte last week on business, and the corporation I work for doesn't give you much flexibility regarding which hotel chain you stay at. In Charlotte, the Courtyard Arrowood was the hotel of no-choice.
I was pleasantly surprised by the hotel. Everything was clean, the staff was friendly, and there was even a complimentary copy of USA Today waiting outside my door the next morning.
Overall, not much of a "wow" factor but maybe when you are traveling on business, your expectations are set much lower since it's someone else's nickel.
There was no free wi-fi, which I found a little odd given the hotel obviously caters to the business traveler. Also, there was no continental breakfast but the hotel was right next door to a Starbuck's. The room did have all the standard amenities: cable TV, ironing board/iron, hair dryer, fluffy towels, and clean sheets.
Overall, very clean but not memorable.
Oh, did I mention that a police officer hangs around the lobby at night? Not sure why, but I think I heard there had been some robberies in the hotel parking lot, thieves looking for GPS systems in the rental cars.

We were recently in Charlotte for the weekend to attend a company Christmas party. My husband's company made reservations for us at the Courtyard Marriott Arrowood.

We were very pleased with our stay. The room was very nice and quiet. The hotel is in a quiet location, near the interstate. I loved that there was a Starbuck's within walking distance.

The bed was the most comfortable I have ever experience in a hotel. It was awesome. The lines were very high quality and the room decor was soothing.

Hopefully, we will be able to stay at this same Courtyard for the party next year. We could not have been more pleased.

I booked this hotel through Marriott rewards. It is very clean and nicely decorated and landscaped. I didn't see any rough edges - it seemed to sparkle, really. The staff was friendly and helpful. We had a room with a balcony facing the garden, which was attractive, as well. This hotel is located in a cluster of Marriott properties with restaurants close by and in close proximity to Ramblewood Park. Located not far off the highway, it is quiet and convenient. I will definitely stay here again.

I was stranded at Charlotte during the weekend of the 17/18th of March due to weather delays and computer problems. I was quite pleased to be able to secure a hotel room at a reasonable price when many properties around the airport were booked solid.

The hotel is not particularly close to CLT. It was a 20 minute/$20 taxi ride away.

This particular Courtyard has seen the major upgrade that has been going on chain wide. This includes the upgraded lobby with free access computers, and the newly redesigned rooms with new mattresses and linens.

My room was located on the ground level facing outside. If I had been picky I would have preferred a high floor facing the courtyard, but at the time it was not a priority. The room had a king-sized bed, a full-sized sleeper sofa with coffee table, and a large work desk with a comfy chair.

Like all new Courtyard rooms, the arrangement is a bit different than usual with the bed on the wall backing the bathroom. So if you like watching TV in bed you'll be looking sideways. But there is a sofa in the room.

The hotel staff was friendly. Check-in was quick and easy. As I was without my checked-luggage, they were glad to give me a few toiletries for my one-night stay.

I couldn't really tell much about the hotel's location. As far as I could tell it is a typical suburban office park/adjacent to the interstate location. There were several restaurants within walking distance of the property. However they were all closed after 10pm on a Saturday night. The local pizza places do deliver to your room should you get hungry.

Overall I was quite satisfied with my stay and appreciated the fact that the lobby has computers(well just one) available free of charge. It was useful to be able to check emails and flight information.
