I made reservations on the Hotels site to stay at the LaQuinta Inn Charlotte Airport.
When we arrived in Charlotte from Massachusetts we called for directions to the hotel and the young lady at the desk said "85, exit 33" and hung up. We found the exit after going on the highway and going north and then south only to find we needed only cross over 85 (not get on it!). We found the corner of Queen City Drive and went left to the end, turned around and went right to the end and then called the hotel again. The same young lady said "we're right next to Cracker Barrel". I asked if there weren't another hotel in that location. She said "yeh, Quality Inn, that's us". So, after an hour of driving around in the rental car we found the hotel. It has changed names, ownership and management. It is dirty, and moldy, and stinks of cigarette smoke and other things. When I mentioned the wild goose chase that the young woman sent me on she shyly said "I know" and proceeded with our booking. We did not have time to look for another hotel. We quickly prepared and left for the Statesville High School graduation ceremonies and barely made it to Statesville in time to get seats. This was my worst experience with Hotels. I hope never to repeat this one. Oh, and someone should tell La Quinta that their name is being used to draw customers to a flea bag.
