We originally booked a room at another motel chain. We were only staying one night with us leaving our vehicle for 8 days while we took a flight to Arizona. The first motel was in a very rough section of town with no security for the vehicle at all. We cancelled our reservation at that facility. We were in a tight spot as we had already traveled to Charlotte and our flight was already schedule for early the next morning. Courtyard Marriott to the rescue! The room provided was very nice and clean. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The area to park the vehicle was secure. We left the next morning with no worries about where we were leaving our vehicle.
