I received a call 3 hours before check in time from the hotel informing me that they accidentally double booked my room. Even though I had booked the room months ago. The only reason I was initially not upset is because they didn’t completely put me out. They did book another room for me with a balcony and complementary breakfast. Not the end of the world but it was kind of unprofessional and wrong for them to give the room away to someone who booked the room after me. My only gripe is that the room’s thermostat was broken and the room was kind of hot. Also, the property’s bar lounge is only open on weekends.

I suggestook looking at a room before booking if you drive into town. No restaurants in the area I left and stayed at another motel. I booked without protecting my reservation so I'm out that money.

Toilet got plugged. Reported it in the AM, but it was not fixed that evening. We got a plunger from the desk person. The plunger did not fix the problem completely.

This place looks like it was probably nice at one point, but has become the result of chronic neglect. I had to switch rooms after hair and snot in my bed and pubes on the toilet. My second room also had hair on the floor and in the tub. The shower wall and tap were caved in.

Photo of hotel from years back
I’m sure Red Lion was once a nice hotel, however time has not been kind. First appearance in the lobby was old & soiled furnitures, the bar was dark & dingy. Elevator was iffy. Our room was ok, bed was comfortable, clean area, however the tub/ shower drain was slow to drain. We had a balcony for fresh air, however the road noise was unbearable, cars racing into wee hours in the morning. Ice machine on our floor was broken & the breakfast was a bit to be desired. Hoped to use the pool, was not posted when we reserved that the pool was closed for the seasonThis hotel could be nice needs a lot of TLC.

Upon checking in to my room I noticed the room had not yet been cleaned. I went to the front desk and they politely gave me a new room and apologized for the problem. In my next room I noticed the safety lock on the door had been broken off and not replaced. Overall, the facility seems like it is not being maintained or upgraded.

Bathroom door would not shut, could see it had been pryed open at some point, bathroom tub would not drain, second sink outside bathroom would not drain, towel rack outside bathroom broken and sitting on the floor below sink, bed skirt had who knows what on it, was filthy, desk had one wheel broken off so was lop sided and wobbly, cupboard door where fridge was would not close…the pool and hot tub were so dirty, algae everywhere, not kept up at all, no idea when it had last been cleaned, disappointing seen as our hotel choice is very often based on having a hot tub for after long drives. Door to pool not locked, watched a homeless dude take a bath in the pool!!! Carpets in hallways were stained and not vacuumed in quite some time. Rooms and hallways stunk like stale smoke, weird since it was non smoking. We would not recommend nor stay here again.

This property is in serious need of a renovation. The furniture was filthy and even had a leg missing on one piece. We had at least 6 burnt out light bulbs in the first room they gave us and several in the second room. The counters in the room had food on them as they were obviously not cleaned. They had to change rooms for us 3 times till they found one for us that was somewhat acceptable but still not great. We were shocked to see this at a Red Lion property. I don't understand how you can have several rooms with burnt out light bulbs and the cleaning staff not getting them changed out. My brother and his wife also stayed on the property and had to change rooms as well. I normally will never write a bad review but this was unacceptable.
