The Hotel Redland

DO NOT STAY HERE. Unless of course you don’t want to sleep. My husband and I booked here and nowhere in the advertisement does it say there’s live music directly down the stairs until 11pm every Friday night. They did say it in an email after we booked however. What they don’t tell you is that it’ll be midnight and people will still be yelling and screaming downstairs. Don’t stay here. Ever.

Hotel rooms are sparse. TV was a 25” that was terrible to watch. The fire stick had to be pulled each time you turned on the tv. There is no front desk so never a to reach anyone. Bathroom had only 2 towels and no mat to use coming out it the shower. The soap tray so soap and shampoo has to be put on the floor. Both had had blasting music in the lobby, right below the room, till !0:30pm, making it impossible to sleep. All this for $170 a night. Total rip off!!!

We had stayed at this hotel a few years ago and it had been a pleasant experience-see my previous review.However things had changed-a new owner had taken over. -We arrived at the hotel for a two day stay it was completely locked.I had missed an e-mail sent the day before telling me that access was via a lockbox with keys inside. -There was no reception desk.Infact we could not find anyone in the building.To all intents and purposes we were the only people in the building. -No telephone in the room -While there was a coffee pot and two paper cups in the room there was no coffee,milk or sugar.We bumped into the one housekeeping lady a few hours later and were told we would have to buy our own as this was not a "full service hotel" -We were encouraged to climb an outside fire escape to access the building as all the bedrooms were on the second floor and a Bistro with a separate owner had the first floor. -A cleaning fee was added prior to our arrival.I have never seen this added as a normal charge in a hotel before.This hotel was being run like an Airbnb.If I had wanted an Airbnb I would have booked one -Overall very disappointed. -Finishing on a positive note.Christina the one housekeeping lady kept the rooms and beds very clean and the mattress while old was comfortable

Friendly staff, I liked the ease of check in(there is no front desk for the hotel), bed was comfortable.. we stayed for 4 nights and didn’t see any house keeping so we ran out of towels quickly. Prices were reasonable, the room was very clean. There is a TV with a fire stick but you have to use your own Netflix or streaming passwords to login. There’s a clean mini fridge and freezer with a microwave, and the shower was very clean as well. All in all I would stay here again. My only recommendation is that the check in emails are a little more clear. I didn’t know that my room was inside the actual restaurant and not upstairs with all the other rooms…. so we had to ask someone in the restaurant and she had to call housekeeping to help us. While we were outside another couple was arriving and had the same exact issue we had with help finding their room and keys.

The renovations of this hotel were beautifully done. The new rooms are so nice, beds and decor are great. Not to mention the how great the food is at the new City Hall Bistro Bar. Overall the new owners did an amazing job with the property as a whole.

Stayed at Hotel Redland 2 nights, March 18 & 19, 2023, in room 211. This is not a fully functioning hotel/restaurant/bar as presented on their website. No check-in counter, restaurant and bar were closed. Check-in was with an email received earlier in the day advising that I look in a little box on an outside wall to find a key to get in. Room with comfortable king bed was clean. However, several things need attention and fixes. Bathroom sink faucet sprays out beyond sink and ceiling extraction fan does not work. Slider door to common upper floor patio area doesn't lock! Broom handle in track prevents intruder access but still allows door to open 6 to 8 inches from the outside patio. Coffee maker & filters in the room but no coffee, cups, or glasses! No tv remote, no cable or local channels, only Amazon fire tv remote that would not turn the tv on. Great potential for this hotel, but would have been better to stay in one of the chain hotels in Homestead for about the same price. Don't recommend this place.
