What guests think

Across reviews of Courtyard by Marriott Charlotte Lake Norman, guests frequently praise the friendly, accommodating front desk and convenient location near restaurants and I-77, but note dated conditions and recurring maintenance issues that fall short of typical Courtyard expectations.

Repeated complaints cite the pool being closed for extended periods, ice machines out of order, and on-site dining and bar offerings limited or not as advertised. Cleanliness feedback is mixed, with many spotless stays contrasted by missed housekeeping and occasional mold or pest sightings. Rooms are often described as dated, with dim lighting, soft or uncomfortable mattresses, A/C or TV problems, and some noise from nearby roads, though several guests still found them comfortable. Most suitable for short, practical stays if you can tolerate uneven upkeep and amenity availability.

This hotel has a fire pit outside, beside the hotel. A large group was allowed to sit out there and party from midnight to 3 am. I called the front desk twice; the second time I had to ask them specifically to ask the party to disburse or move elsewhere. They were keeping an entire side of the hotel guests awake. Never going back to that hotel.

I was in town for an outdoor tournament and was looking forward to relaxing in the pool after the long hot days outside but when I arrived at the hotel I discovered that the pool was out of service. There wasn’t any indication of this when I booked the hotel otherwise I wouldn’t have stayed there. The ice machine was also broken on my floor and I had to go to another floor to get ice. Never again!

Staff were very nice and facility was pretty clean. But, even though we were there two nights, when we came home last the second night pretty late, no one had cleaned our room at all. We had no dry towels and were out of toilet paper and tissues almost gone so my husband had to go find someone to get those items at midnight when we were very tired. The room was also very damp feeling which made it slightly uncomfortable even though AC was on. Pool was out of service and so was the ice machine on our floor. Wasn't a horrible stay by any means but I've stayed at other Marriott properties that were a little nicer.

Website claims to have a Bistro with breakfast, but many of the items on the print menu and menu in Bistro are no longer offered. On site bistro was the main reason I chose this hotel over others and it was not as advertised. Bathroom was oddly small, with low ceiling and no fan in the bathroom. Minimalist room and not very large for a 2 queen bedroom. A/c was ineffective; did not cool room. Outdoor seating area was unlit and not kept tidy. Not inviting to sit outside. Fire pit not lit. Overall not worth the price.

I’m not sure if it was the A/C unit or the cars parked outside that was super loud all night and morning long. Other than that for a one night stay, i guess I can’t comodín too much.

Location was great for our visiting friends. Hotel was beautiful. The bistro was closed most of the time so not able to enjoy its benefits and food. Had to eat at near by restaurants of which are many good ones. Staff were wonderful and so helpful. To have fresh bottled water in our room each day would have been nice. Recommend this place for your stay in Huntersville.

Website says restaurant and bar onsite, limited breakfast items from 6-10 Limited dinner menu from 5-10. Bar menu states cocktails but only beer and wine weee available. The indoor pool was closed. There is a channel selection card but no guide on the TV so you have to scroll through the channels to find anything you want to watch. We stayed 5 days, got coffee at the hotel and they were out of half and half creamer every day. This was our first time staying at a Marriott and we based our decision on it having the restaurant and bar so were somewhat disappointed.
