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.

I don't have high expectations for places like these...its affordable yet close enough to uber to the city center. The staff is what makes the place. They were all incredibly friendly and always helpful. I liked the quite pool area and the complimentary airport shuttle.

The lobby was hot, the thermostat showed 82 and made for an uncomfortable wait to check in. The mini fridge didn’t work, gaps in the carpet, parts of the stucco walls were cracked and peeling apart, the bathroom vanity top had dropped about an inch and the toilet seat was broken. The phone in the room didn’t work, so we couldn’t contact the front desk. Maybe add more handicap spots near the front of the building.

The property looked to be in the process of getting better, but the rooms needed a deep cleaning. The area is very unsafe, as addicts are nearby the parking lot getting high.
