Attempts to acquire a 2.5 star hotel at the Northlake or the University areas proved unsuccessful, even at bids as high as $47.00. I received the customary Priceline enticement to increase my price by such and such amount to receive another chance to bid. I didn't take the bait and instead, opted for another area of Charlotte to stay in. I have stayed at this Country Inns & Suites several times and have been quite pleased, each and every time. According to a friend, travelers should try to avoid the Holiday Inn Charlotte airport which is just down the road.
