Hotel Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Charlotte I-85 Airport, NC (Charlotte, USA)

If you have a flight to catch, then the location of this hotel is ideal - it's just two miles away, and the hotel provides free shuttles to and from the airport, so you don't even have to worry about how to get there, making check-in at both ends a stress-free experience.

When you turn up late at night, after a long flight or drive, it's good to know that there are local places where you can grab a bite to eat, whether you just need some fast-food fuel, or a more relaxed, sit-down meal. There's also a convenience store opposite the hotel to pick up any extra things you need.

Guests love the breakfast here - and with a great hot and cold selection, it's easy to see why. Indulge in eggs, waffles, or healthy fresh fruit, with plenty of coffee on the side. Plus, the buffet starts early, so even if you have to be on your way at the crack of dawn, you won't have to leave on an empty stomach.

Guests have complained about some problems in the upkeep of the hotel, such as electronic door locks not working, old air conditioning units, or carpets that are worn and stained. It could use some general maintenance, as well as a bit of a cosmetic touch-up to solve these niggles.

The hotel only has two floors, so it's not a major issue, but if you're dragging lots of heavy luggage, or you have mobility problems, it's good to know that there's no elevator, and the only way to the upper floor is by the stairs. If it's going to be a problem, it's worth requesting a first-floor room in advance.

If you are wooed by the prospect of a refreshing dip in the hotel's swimming pool, then you may be disappointed by the state of the pool here. Guests say that it's small and can be dirty, and some have found that it's been out of service altogether during their stay.
