You definitely are getting what you pay for, but this is amazing for the price. The only thing that got me was the smell in the hallways but other than that, very clean room and they’re super big, huge bed, the breakfast is very good, amenities very accessible, plenty of parking and the staff way absolutely TOP TIER! Definitely giving this 5 stars and will continue to stay here when I come back to Charlotte.
the beds were comfortable and the room was clean except for the plastic cups that were on one of the beds when we arrived. the first night's sleep was horrible because the person in the room next door played their television
all night long and you could hear it clearly in our room. breakfast was okay but there was no protein and if yogurt or sausage were included it would be better. also there was powdered creamer but liquid creamer would have been preferable. overall it was a good deal for the pricethere was a pool and gym but neither one were operational. location was close to downtown. Good value for the money
PROS: The staff was friendly, the room was clean, I had no issues walking outside to smoke because I felt safe in the smoking area, the Pet Policy was affordable. The room rate was affordable.
CONS: The hallway/room had an odor of Marijuana, the walls are thin (you can clearly hear the TV from the next room) if your neighbors aren’t considerate. You can hear noise from above if you are on the 1st floor; like a toddler playing/running around at 1:00 am.
With all this being said, my husband and I would stay here again. The staff was outstanding in dealing with the majority of the CONS listed. Bring a small bottle of Fabreeze for the room and the other CON is covered.
The rooms were spacious and so clean! The staff were very friendly and were able to address our issues with the TV right away. We felt secure at this location because a room key is required to access the building. This was our first time at a Red Roof Inn and we will definitely be back!
The room was clean, the sheets were spotless but the comforter could have been cleaner. The heater worked well and I was able to run it at 68 degrees while I was gone so I didn't come back to a cold room on a sub-freezing night.
It was safe for me and my family. Very nice and cozy

The hotel met all my needs and the staff was very friendly and helpful. I’ve stayed at numerous low cost hotels in the past. I would actually go back to this one. Well worth the price.
I could find nothing to complain about.
Very efficient and courteous staff. In 60 years of hotels the room was the cleanist I have ever stayed in. Very quiet. Great bed.
100% a great stay at a reasonable price.
