Extended Stay America Hotel at University Executive Park Dr near UNCC? Anyone stay there? (Charlotte: condo)

[cttw]

Planning to stay in Charlotte week of Feb 19th. Will not have a car, will be taking buses to search for a place to live starting March 1st (Hey, I'm probably the only person planning to live in Charlotte totally w/o a car, using public transportation!)

I'll be looking for an apt or condo (w/ furnished bdrm & private bath) to share w/ one other mature female nonsmoker & located near a major bus route in these areas: Dilworth, near SouthPark Mall, or near UNCC.
Since I'm a single female who'll be staying at a hotel without a car, would the Extended Stay America hotel in this location (at University Executive Park Pl 28262) be both safe & convenient for me? I've already searched online for maps (hard to tell if stores/restaurants are walkable) & searched for hotel reviews-- very little available.

Anyone stay there recently? Pros & Cons? Is it remote for someone without a car? I'm over 40 yrs but very active, don't mind walking a few blocks. Moving from Buffalo NY where I've dealt with months of snowy weather each year, used to taking buses at night in snowstorms, walking & riding a bike in the winter-- six months of it!! So I think I'm pretty tough, don't think Charlotte will scare me too much! But I'm still wondering, even after extensive online research, if this hotel is right for me.

Consider this: I originally planned to stay at the InTown Suites Weekly Hotel on North Tryon St -- very affordable! -- until all the negative reviews & fear for my safety changed my mind. Any help will be appreciated!!
