“The Mecklen Hotel, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel, aims for an urban vibe but seems to struggle with basic maintenance and cleanliness, according to reports. While the staff receives positive mentions, consistent issues like malfunctioning AC, uncomfortable beds, and cleanliness problems suggest a need for significant improvements. For now, I'd suggest exploring other options in Charlotte.”

They provided a real mini crib, not an old pack and play! That's a big plus for families with infants.
