A fine hotel, but...

This hotel is a good bargain and had everything you would hope for in a moderate priced hotel. It was sparkling clean and well re-modeled. The owners invested a lot to bring it back. homeless people and drug dealers inhabited a short street behind a nearby shopping center. Why is the City of Charlotte so NEGLIGENT in allowing this? Charlotte voters should be outraged at crooked politicians for allowing this kind of anti-business activity to fester in in their city.

The property did not have hot water, the room had no microwave, and the elevator was broken the first night. Also, the property smelled of mildew. Furthermore, the house keeper came into the room to bring towels without knocking and I was seen undressed. Yet, the staff and security were pleasant and helpful as they could be.

I've stayed at Red Lion Inns before, but this one was disappointing, especially for $115. The staff was okay, but it went downhill from there. Some of the furniture in the room was damaged. There were cracks in the walls. I was greeted in the bathroom by a centipede and a juvenile roach. The tub surround was separating from the wall. The mattress had a large sag in the middle, which made it less than comfortable. The property (and the several others alongside) looks like it's in the middle of an industrial area. Next time, I'll just look for a Motel 6.

Fine to just sleep for a night

Long check in line upon arrival. Took almost 30 min to check in. Had to take a cold shower after getting to my room, there was 0 hot water. For just a night it was fine as I just needed a bed.

Worst family trip yet, thanks to Red Lion Hotel

We rented a room at this hotel because it advertised having a pool. We called in advance and were told the pool was open. Our kids were really excited to swim in said pool and upon arriving after buying pool equipment like floaties for the youngsters we find out that the pool is closed for two days for freshly poured concrete. We struggled to use the microwave as all of the buttons were labeled in French. They charge exorbitant fees for the food at the restaurant ($4 coffee, $9 parfait, etc) and they didn’t even have fruit.
Pool closed and chained shut.

Ich wusste nicht, dass man gezwungen ist, eine Kreditkarte zu haben, selbst wenn das Zimmer bereits vorab bezahlt wurde. Ohne die Hilfsbereitschaft andere Hotelgäste, hätte ich über Nacht das Hotel verlassen müssen als allein reisende Frau in einem fremden Land, den so sind die Vorschriften. Da kann das Hotel noch so sauber sein, die Vorgehensweise finde ich unzumutbar, denn ich hatte ausreichend Bargeld dabei. Weiterhin ist es schwierig ein Hotel zu beurteilen, wenn man gerade erst angekommen ist. Bisher war ich nur am beinahe missglückten Empfang. Es wäre sinnvoller, nach der Abreise eine Beurteilung abzufragen.

Don’t stay here… Hot Mess!!! Elevator out of order, washing machine out of order, air conditioning out of order, coffee machine out of order, key cards don’t work, phones: if you have one in your room (most rooms don’t have one) they are so static you can’t understand anything so you have to go to the front desk, pool is falling apart with pieces of cement in pool, pool not well maintained (green), housekeeping? haha when do they come??? Gym equipment out of order or broken, The area reminds me of Skid Row, many junkies next to the parking lot, restaurant: most menu items crossed out and extremely expensive; paid over $20 for 4 soda’s with no alcohol… Unorganized Management: left a new person at the front desk to fend for herself with no help, when looking for help it’s like playing hide and seek or where is Waldo…
Everything had this sign with no option for correction or compensation

This hotel is just okay, but for the price it's a good deal. The building itself is in decent condition but the room was very tired. Bathroom ceiling was falling down, lots of flooding evidence, toilet was weirdly placed. Water didn't really get above lukewarm, no soap in the bathroom. The sheets and bed were clean and nice. Television was comically small. Door was not well sealed so you knew when anyone was leaving their room in the hall.

So, I wanted to love this property way more, but I gotta be honest. The area surrounding the property needs to be cleaned up more. I saw reviews saying they felt unsafe because of the strip club across the street, but there was a fence separating them. With that being said, I still felt ok to stay on the property itself even while coming in at night. The food at the restaurant was ok. I ordered a burger that was the size of a slider but cost as much as a full sized burger. My room was clean, no roaches but there were two or three millipedes... and the AC was nice and cold. The thing is the hot water didn't work. So they had me switch out rooms... but then my room key didn't work. I had 7 different keys and they all didn't work. So I had to depend on security to open my room door. Other than this, I had no issues... EVERYONE was nice, people that stayed at the hotel, the staff at the hotel (from front desk to housekeeping), the hotel itself and hallways had no smell like I've read about in past reviews. The hallway was really warm, though. But that's it. Personally, I'd at least give it one more try and I would recommend for anyone to try this hotel.
