What is the Charlotte NC greyhound station like?
My husband myself and our almost 2yr old son have a five and a half hr. layover at 1:30 am. Should I spend money on a hotel room? we are traveling on a budget. Know of any cheap motels near the terminal? Any help would be greatly appriciated. Other - United States - 3 Answers

ooh i live in Charlotte! but I have no idea what you're talking about! LOL I've never ridden a greayhound bus or seen the station, but your best bet is to stay in a hotel downtown.

It depends. I was there a few years ago from 230am-7am. It was kind of odd. Obviously its going to be a bit lower-class (it is a bus station after all), but there were plenty of people around so it seemed safe enough (I was a 18yo college student). The worst part was when I was changing clothes in the bathroom some guy came up to me when I was leaving to try to sell me some jewelry (in the trench coat, like the movies). I would just make sure you stay awake and together the whole time. In the last few years Charlotte has really cleaned things up I've heard, so it might be better. I don't know if a hotel room would be worth it, by the time you get off the bus (provided its on time), get a cab to a hotel, and check in, you would probably only have a couple hours in the hotel room before you had to be back at the station. Hope this helps!

I would think based upon the time of night you may want to get a hotel. The bus station is right in downtown. Downtown is full of hotels ranging from 4-5 star to less. I looked up on Hotel.com and can find rates nearthe bus station of $55 a night. Since downtown is pretty small you might want to consider this option.
