  One thing I have observed as a frequent traveler is that coffee makes people happy. At the Charlotte Hotel, there was no in-room coffee, and in the morning at 8:05am there was no coffee available in the lobby or restaurant, either. I don't know why an innkeeper would make it so difficult to get coffee! Such a simple gesture. I arrived at the Charlotte on the Tuesday after Memorial Day 2016. The building and its decor are very attractive. I needed dinner. At the restaurant there were two dining rooms: a dark one with no windows, and a larger dining room with many windows, tons of natural light, and better furnishings. Oddly, only the darker room was open for business, due to low demand. There was a party of four eating in that room, but the space seemed uninviting to me, so I sat at the small bar and had a delicious filet mignon platter. The food was very good and my bill was about $45 including a beer. As I went up to my room, I spoke to the woman at the restaurant who said breakfast will begin at 8am the next morning, and coffee would be available earlier than 8am in the hotel lobby. I retired to my room. While not spacious, the room was very attractive and well-equipped. The shower was especially nice, and the bathroom had upscale fixtures. In the morning I waited for breakfast. Eight o'clock is late for a hotel breakfast to begin. At 8:00 I was in the lobby looking for coffee. However, the entire restaurant area was closed off with a gate, there was no coffee waiting, and no staff was on duty. I was all alone, and I think I was the only hotel guest that day. So at 8:05 I walked across the street to a cute cafe and enjoyed my breakfast and coffee there. Returning to the hotel, the proprietor was sitting at the front desk and he apologized, saying he had arrived at 8:10. When I checked out of the hotel, he gave me some money off my bill, saying he bought me breakfast, and apologized again. I originally booked the room for $140 and with the discount it came to $128. It's interesting to note that during my 5-day road trip I stayed in cheaper motels such as Super 8 and Comfort Inn, on the interstates, except for this night when I decided to splurge to stay in a nicer inn located in the heart a charming little town. Well, my experience at the nicer inn left a lot to be desired, and a key need for a traveler -- coffee -- was not met. Super 8 gives me coffee.

  Had a really lovely dinner here with delicious and well-presented food. Good vegetarian options for my friend, and a good selection of bourbons :)
