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.

I had to return to the front desk three times to get into a room which was actually clean. The first two that I was given had not even been visited by the cleaning staff and in one of these, there was vomit on the bed. There was no apology or any effort made at reparations.A horrible experience to endure after traveling for hours and needing a rest.

The hotel was terrible but it also wasn’t great. There were black spots all over the headboard that I made sure to take pictures of so I wouldn’t get blamed for damages. There was also spots in the nightstand and the lamp was broken and ac unit door was broken as well. Def not a up to date hotel. I also didn’t like that it wasn’t clear that a $75 hold would be placed on my card. That was a huge inconvenience especially because I was only staying 1 night.
