Absolutely disgusting suite. Blood stains covered the mattress that looked like someone was actually killed. Super super bad. Dead mice in the hole in the jetted tub, bottle of KY jelly under the mattress. Worst hotel I’ve ever been to. Didn’t even stay left after seeing the condition.

Nice stay

The front desk staff is very friendly and helpful. It was fun hanging out with them, chatting, and getting to know them. They made the stay 100% worth while! My only complaint is the room was filled with ants. The bed was comfortable and cleaning staff did a good job of keeping the rooms and building clean (minus the infestation of ants).

Marginal property

A handicap accessible room not truly accessible. Grab bars present in bathroom, but unable to access shower since it was a tub over shower. The blanket on the bed had a huge hole in it. The continental breakfast was marginal. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The property was not the quality I expect from Red Lion.

The positives, convenient location, beds were clean & comfortable, a working refrigerator, and friendly staff.

Locked out

Found long hairs in bathroom that were not my color. Tried to put me in room where the door rarely opened with the key. I tried atleast a dozen times before returning to the front desk and asking for help. They tried another 5-10 times before door finally opened. I was told a new owner took over that day, so maybe it will get better, but I will not stay there again .

Simple, but good!

The hotel is simple, but pretty clean. The staff was very friendly and the room was nice. The breakfast could be a little bit better, but not a deal breaker. We decided to extend our trip a little more, it was super easy with them and we were able to keep the same room.
