Although you’ll find pockets of Old Southern charm scattered throughout Charlotte, North Carolina, the decidedly urban city is a bustling metropolis. In the lively Uptown region, which serves as the heart of the city, tall buildings dominate the landscape next to such attractions as the NASCAR Hall of Fame, three professional sports venues and the North Carolina Blumenthal Performing Arts Center. There are several hotels throughout the Charlotte area that provide weekly rates, or discounted rates if you stay a designated number of nights.
InTown Suites has four locations spread throughout the Charlotte region. The hotel has apartment-style accommodations, complete with fully equipped kitchens. Housekeeping is provided on a weekly basis and there are on-site coin-operated laundry facilities. Extended Stay America has seven different hotels throughout Charlotte. While amenities vary based on location, each hotel has free grab-and-go breakfast bags each morning, coin-operated laundry facilities and guest rooms with full kitchens. All of the hotels allow up to two pets per room, with a required fee. Discounted weekly rates are available for stays lasting at least seven days at both hotels.
