I have never stayed there (I have a house in the county) but I do like the Japanese restaurant next to those apartments (Sakuro)...the food there is awesome! That part of town is mostly commerical--all the hotels are on the next road to the east, Cherry Road (one of the major roads in town that has a bunch of strip malls, restaurants, stores, etc.) is right there to the Northwest, and the interstate is also around the corner if you need to go to Charlotte. When I come home from work tommorow, I'll swing by the place and take a gander to see what it looks like.
