This was quite possibly one of the worst experiences and most disgusting hotels I have ever been to in my entire life. The place was run down. There were cockroaches, crawling across the floor with rooms smell like weed and there was a pair of used dirty women’s underwear outside of our room. When we looked into the room, there was a semen stain on the headboard. There were other areas of the hotel that were in severe disrepair where rugs had not been secured to the floor room numbers have been taped with the wall, and there was many stains of water or something else on the floor. There is a large meeting hall, where an abandoned fountain with dirty, standing water and a homeless person was sleeping inside of. The one person working at the desk seemed unconcerned about all the complaints that we made, and she would not check us in to the hotel even though it was 1 o’clock in the morning and the airport we had been to was closed. There was not a single ounce of concern or worry when we told the front desk person about all these issues.

My hotel key card would not work for my room door. Each time I needed in my room I would have to go to the office and they would give me a new card. I told them it’s not the card the lock battery needs new batteries. They changed it out two days later and it did the same thing. So each time I needed in my room they would have to send security up to my room to let me in. I was not even offered a different room. Even the guy at the desk said he couldn’t believe I wasn’t moved in a new room. On checkout day I asked to speak with the manager and I was told she was in a conference call and I would get a call back. I didn’t hear from her and when I call I get told she is not there. I would like a refund on this horrible stay.

My stay would have been okay. But my key wouldn’t work for my room door. I had to keep going down to the front desk and they would send me up with a new key and it still would not work. So they would send security up to let me in my room. I was not offered a different room the entire time I was there. The guy that works the night shift said he could not believe they still had me in the same room and said they should have given me a different room. They changed the battery out on my room door and I still had the issue. I was not given a parking pass my entire stay. I noticed everyone else had a parking pass but me. So the last night I was there I asked if I needed a parking pass and the lady at the desk said they didn’t give you one when you checked in and I said no. And she said I can’t believe you have not been towed yet. On checkout I asked to speak with the manager and they said she was on a conference call and they took down my information for her to call me to make this right with me and I never did get a call. I would like my stay refunded for the inconvenience I had to go through. I would not stay at this hotel again.

First, for the price point this place works well for those traveling through Charlotte. We appreciated the 24 hour airport shuttle. The On-Site restaurant was open until midnight which was a nice option to have when you're arriving late. The bed itself was very comfortable. Their property overall could use some upgrades and some renovations. Our room and bathroom were clean, however the toilet seat itself needed to be replaced and some drywall repair needed to be done. Again, for the price point, no complaints.

I did consider myself a frequent quest at this property for work, somewhere between 3 or 4 years. When it was the Clarion, before turning into the Red Lion. I have always booked my room in advance through a 3 rd party each time before arriving to hotel. When I checked in, the young man at the front desk was new. Yet, seemingly compitent at what he was doing. When it came time to swipe my credit card for the useless, pain in the ass for what purpose room deposit of $75. Signed what was needed and took my room keys headed upstairs. As I am on elevator I noticed 0 text on my phone from bank assuming it was the deposit notice.

The staff was slow upon checking in due to a huge concert that day. even the front desk workers were saying the key cards could have been preset ahead of time. there was no ac in the lobby, the hallway stunk, the ac in the room was super load, there was no hot water in the bathroom, no free breakfast, and i was told that the shuttle could pick me up from the greyhound bus station, and turns out that was not correct. crackheads, prostitutes and homeless are crawling all around the location.
