Fairfield by Marriott Hotels in Mooresville

I drove over 400 miles on I-81 and was completely exhausted, so I decided to stop near Charlotte. The name of the hotel sounded nice — I thought “Norman Lake” might be a fancy resort. Crossing from Virginia into North Carolina, the drive was beautiful. The road wound through the mountains with lakes popping up here and there — such a big change from the flat East Coast. The hotel itself was just okay. The facilities were average, the AC was pretty noisy, and the mattress was way too soft for me. Breakfast didn’t leave much of an impression, except for the endless coffee. Overall, it was a decent place for a quick stay.
