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.

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
