The hotel manager, Verna, was very helpful and accommodating during my business stay. I appreciated that she remembered and asked how my show was at the Convention Center.

This hotel doesn’t look like much from the outside and it’s located in a not-so-great area, so we weren’t sure what to expect.
However, we were pleasantly surprised once we stepped into the lobby it’s much nicer and bigger inside than it appears from the outside! The hotel itself is quite large, and while the rooms are definitely older and a bit outdated, our stay was still very comfortable. The beds were amazing super cozy and made for a great night’s sleep. Overall, not a bad stay at all, and we’ll definitely be booking again.

Disliked: Staff & service
Hallway smelled weird, clean room, sketchy elevator, no continental breakfast, had to ask for more towels and toiletries
When I arrived, the customer service at the desk was wonderful, but, there were several problems in the room... When I got to the room, there was black specks on the covers on the beds, ants or small roaches at the coffee maker, and the housekeeping did not provide us with small bars of soap (like other hotels/motels provide).
Air conditioner in my initial room was bad and I had to get another room. The other room had dead roaches in front of the TV and I can’t help but wonder how that could be missed! Sorry, but that’s not a good experience. I know I was trying to keep it cheap, but not that cheap.
Dear Red Lion Hotel Charlotte team,
Thank you for your message. Unfortunately, I chose not to stay at your location due to safety concerns. There were several homeless individuals walking around the building, which made me feel uncomfortable and unsafe. This significantly impacted my decision, and overall, I was very disappointed that the environment did not feel secure or welcoming.
I hope you address these issues to improve the experience for future guests.
Sincerely,
Johny Stevenson Hoare Bodden
My key card apparently didn’t work and I have to have a security or a staff member to get me inside my room every time I leave. I got a call from the front desk before I was checking out saying this room was not supposed to be available and they didn’t know the name of who was staying in it! No wonder why my key card didn’t work! It’s super unorganized and inconvenient
I only got it for the shuttle and didnt even get to use it. Waited for the shuttle for 40 mins and turned out its for two hotels, so many people jumped in and stood on eachother we just had to take a lyft. Id rather have stayed anywhere else cause walking in the area homeless people yelled at us and its loud at night at the stripclub next door.
