Dated, but acceptable
It's kind of shame that this property is not better maintained because the location and price are decent for travellers to the Charlotte area. We chose this location because it was halfway between the Concord Mills Shopping Mall to the north of Charlotte and the South Park area shopping malls on the south end of town. Additionally, the price was about a third of what the hotels in uptown were charging.
This motel has the potential to be so much more than it is. Unfortunately, the furniture is extremely dated and damaged. Handles were missing from drawers, some light bulbs were burnt out, and the sofa was old and worn. When we first entered the room, it smelled musty and stale. However, after running the air conditioner for a while, the odors subsided quite a bit and did not bother me. The room itself was clean enough, but the overall feel of the room was dull and dingy.
I stay in Red Roof Inns on occasion and usually am OK with the quality of my stay. I realize it's not a Hilton or even a Holiday Inn, so I don't expect the quality to be to that level. Still, some basic updating and freshness is desired and expected. This one falls a little short of my expectations, but overall it was acceptable .
