Our room had a huge hole in the bathroom door- only 1 towel provided- no soap. Was extremely hot in hallways and long walk to get there, with no ice. First floor was flooded and no heads up. Definitely needs renovation but fine for a last minute option, just way too expensive for the quality - was like $120 total. IHOP close by but that’s about it- real run down area next to a gentlemen’s club. Also the free shuttle was PACKED so almost wasn’t an option.

This was only for a few hours of a flight layover. The room smelled musty and the bathroom old and dilapidated even though it was remodeled. I will not be staying there again.

My Stay at the Red Lion Hotel

My Overall Stay was Good. They Charge a Extra $75 fee I Guess for Incidental Stuff ( In Case there's some Room Damage Etc ) So I'll be Looking to See How Long it takes to get that Back on my Card. And they Charge the Entire Amount of your Stay During the Check In Process ( Which I Guess is a Sign of the Time's that We're Living in. But my Room was Good Overall, and I Didn't have to Deal with Noisey Neighbors. The Staff was Courteous and Helpful for the Most Part.

Decent value for the cost

While it is an older property there is obvious new carpet and furnishings. The hot tub has been filled in and is a giant planter. The pool was dirty. The fitness room was broken and they sent us to the connection hotel to use theirs. The room was clean and comfortable, but the bathroom needs repair. The wall was peeling and the counter pulling away from the wall.
