I started with the seasonal Rum Rum Rudolph and my friends tried the Ginger All the Way and a classic eespresso martini because they ran out of the seasonal/festive one! We also ordered the steak salad and the chicken pesto/vodka pizza. Love that the pizza comes in a personal size! It was still more than enough for just me. Served on thick doughy bread and loaded with toppings, it defintiely hit the spot. The salad was a hearty portion too, full of all the fixins and a delicious dressing too. We stayed for almost 2 hours and enjoyed the festive decor, spirit, and chatting with some other patrons. The service was friendly and prompt, they checked in regularly to clear our empty glasses and plates. All in all, definitely a good time worth returning. And even better it's located right next to the parking garage which has several EV charging stations! @azfitfoodfun

While the website does outline the parking situation, it still proved to be a real inconvenience on the day of the event. However, the bigger issues were with the management and cleanliness. The owner kept my $250 non-refundable deposit for some spots on the floor, which I had pointed out to him upon my arrival. It was clear the venue hadn't been properly cleaned before our event--I found utensils, bread, and hair from a previous event. I cleaned the kitchen sink because there was dirt in it, even though we really didn't use that area. But just to point out the venue was not as clean as the owner was trying to make it seem, it was. When I brought up these concerns, the owner tried to justify his actions by invoking his status as a Black-owned small business, even though he was charging a Black family an excessive amount for cleaning that wasn't our responsibility. Additionally, there were no trash cans, which was a huge inconvenience. I strongly advise anyone considering this venue to conduct a very thorough walkthrough and document everything with your own photos. It's a shame that a decent venue is managed with such a lack of professionalism and care.

Looks like there is about 3 buildings merged together. The building the event was held at was grand! Two old double doors opens up to a huge open floor plan. It was decorated beautifully and had a great time. Bathrooms were located in the back, but unfortunately there were only 2 stalls in the ladies restroom and for an event and amount of people that were there, it was not enough to have the line flow smoothly. Overall, great venue and im glad I got to visit this building.

This 1930s fireman's hall is restored but still hosts plenty of character with its gorgeous brick facade, dark wood floors and open banquet space. There's also a nice stage space which is perfect for a small production, speech or screen drop. I've been here for a few different events and have enjoyed the space thoroughly. Parking can be a bit tight out front, but there's usually a fair amount of room near the back. If you're looking for a cool event or reception space, The Palmer Building should be on your short list!

As someone who moved here from the Bay Area and is still finding my favorite outdoor spaces in…read moreCharlotte, I'm always on the lookout for places that offer a little peace and beauty in the middle of a busy day. The McGill Rose Garden absolutely delivered on that. This is truly a beautiful venue--lush flowers everywhere, winding walk paths, and plenty of places to sit quietly and just take it all in. It's the kind of space where you can slow down, clear your head, and quite literally stop and smell the roses. I found it to be a wonderful spot for reflection, a casual stroll, or simply enjoying nature without needing to leave the city. One of the things I especially appreciated is that you can enhance the experience with a visit to the wine bar onsite, Rosie's Wine Garden, where you can grab a coffee, cocktail, or glass of wine and then wander the grounds at your own pace. It adds a relaxed, almost European feel to the whole experience. A quick heads-up: parking can be a bit tricky, as the entrance is off a busy street, so just take your time and be patient when pulling in. Once you're there, though, it's well worth the effort. Bottom line: If you're looking for a small but charming botanical-style garden in Charlotte--a quiet place to reset, reflect, and enjoy the outdoors--this is a lovely little gem. For me, it checked all the boxes and has become a welcome respite in the middle of a busy day.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel and would absolutely recommend it…read more The room was extremely clean, beautifully decorated, and very spacious. I love the shower and overall room design, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. There were plenty of towels and great storage space, and the mirror and lighting were a huge plus. I also appreciated the bench in the room; it was perfect for setting items down or sitting. The coffee in the room was good, and I love the cute little espresso cups that came with, which felt like such a thoughtful touch. Having an ice and water machine close by was also really convenient. One thing I really appreciated was the ability to text the hotel for anything I needed. It made communication, quick and easy and added to how seamless this stay felt. Brittany was especially nice and helpful via text message. When I first arrived, the room was set to 57 degrees, which felt very cold, considering it was in the 20/30s outside. It did take a bit of time to warm up, but once it did, the room was very comfortable. The only other small hiccup was that the room safe needed a battery replacement, but I messaged the front desk and maintenance took care of it right away. The maintenance staff member was friendly and helpful. I love that the hotel offers a keyless entry option (even though I didn't personally use it), and I really enjoyed the food and drink service to the room. The bartender was especially friendly and welcoming, with great drink options. I also checked out the gym, which looked great and was well maintained. I love that it offered a Peloton, which was a nice bonus. This was my first solo trip, and I felt very safe throughout my stay. I appreciated that the doors locked at certain hours and requires a key card for entry. Parking is available in a structure across the street for $15.30 per night and was easy to access in and out. The staff overall was very friendly, including housekeeping. The only suggestion I'd make is that it would be helpful if the front doors had a way to stay open or a button for entry, as it was a bit tricky managing luggage, though the luggage trolley was conveniently available right inside the entrance. I also felt the early check-in fee of $75.00 was a bit steep for ~two hours. The area felt safe and nice, with great nearby coffee shops, stores, and a beautiful mall in South Park. While I love the area, I'd personally choose to stay closer to downtown next time since travel times ended up being longer than expected. Overall, this was a great experience, and I'd happily stay here again!

I had one of the worst travel experiences of my life with the Canopy by Hilton Charlotte Southpark,…read moreand what made it truly unacceptable was the behavior of the staff. I had a confirmed reservation, completed check in earlier in the day through the Hilton Honors app (I am a Hilton gold member), and even selected my room in advance. By the time I arrived at 1130 pm, exhausted and emotionally drained, I had every reason to believe my room was secured. Instead, I was told the hotel was oversold and had no rooms available. What happened next was beyond disappointing. The front desk attendant was incredibly cold, dismissive, and outright rude. He claimed a manager had called me to notify me of the issue, which was simply not true. When I asked what I was supposed to do, I was told, in a tone that made it clear he did not care, that it was not his problem. There was no attempt to help, no effort to find alternative accommodations, and no sense of urgency despite the late hour and the fact that the city was fully booked. Instead he watched as my sister and I sobbed and panicked in the lobby for an hour without so much as a sorry. I was left stranded in the middle of the night with nowhere to go. Every hotel in the area was sold out. We ended up sleeping in my car. To make matters worse, I was in town because my father had just passed away. This was not a routine trip. In a moment where even basic human empathy would have gone a long way, I was met with indifference, coldness, and irritation. Mistakes happen. But how a hotel handles it is what matters, and in this case, it was handled with a complete lack of professionalism, accountability, and basic human decency. If you are considering staying here, understand that even with a confirmed reservation, advance check in, and a room selected, you may still not have a room when you arrive--and if something goes wrong, you should not expect help from the staff or the manager. Completely unacceptable experience with despicable staff, especially for the Hilton brand.
