Overall a very good experience for a very affordable price. Nowhere near as pricey as hotels right in the middle of downtown but still only about a 10 minute walk.

The beds are very comfortable and the rooms were clean. The over all hotel needs a cosmetic update pretty bad. The staff was courteous and welcoming. It would be nice if the hotel would have a security staff on site. There was several questionable people that were staying that were obviously using drugs and disrupting the peace. I did have to call the main office due to no one at the reception picking up. There was a woman passed out in the hall way that was intoxicated and smelled like marijuana.

Red Lion is low quality, very dirty and not well maintained. This location in particular has quite the population of homeless milling inside and outside the establishment. Will never stay here again.

This property is not in a good area and the people who stay there are a little sketchy. No control over the heat of the room so it was a sauna in the room. It smelled of smoke and stagnate air. good to stay and get out but not good if a you are bringing a family.

I prefer carpet in the room vs hardwood. The property needs updating, and my room could’ve been cleaner. The bedding & towels were clean. I did enjoy the location for walking downtown.

I think dirty, old, run down, and unsafe speak for itself. Drug addicts all over the grounds outside. Empty liquor bottles and trash in the elevator. Filthy restaurant. No locks on any of the outside entrances. Loud music all night and sirens going off all night long. Worst hotel experience I’ve ever had. It was terrifying! Enough said

This property is used by the City to house homeless and displaced immigrants. Not a safe feeling environment. Our room had a shower tile missing and the chair in the main room was really dirty. The hall ways were dingy. Just not a good vibe for a name brand hotel. U

We walked into the homeless shelter part of the hotel with zero indication of what we were walking into. Slum is the best description. Something a majority of people would be horrified to find in the hotel they are staying at. Then homeless people were everywhere in the main hotel. One was sitting in a wheelchair blasting extremely loud music on a Bluetooth speaker by the window when we got off the elevator on our floor. Housekeeping stood outside our door talking loudly about everything under the sun for 45 minutes before checkout. We assumed it was homeless people still walking around on our floor until we opened the door to realize it was staff...... EXTREMELY unprofessional.... We will NEVER be back. Our room was decent enough but the chair I wouldn't set anything I owner on. It looked like it was brought over from the homeless shelter side. The shower was gross by the drain and I for sure felt like I was unsafe in the hotel. Extremely bad experience.

Property is very run down and not well taken care of. Our room was not cleaned adequately and the heater did not work. Lots of stains on the furniture, carpet and walls. The outside of the property and parking lot was very trashy, especially the dog area where no one has picked up any poop in quite some time. The free breakfast was inedible, no working ice machines, and the hot tub was open to anyone (not locked) and very dirty with floating trash. The only positive in our stay was the excellent customer service from Benjamin at the front desk, who was working incredibly hard to make up for the shortfalls of the facility.
