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.

Shocked this little hole in the wall motel had the Red Lion name. Very sketchy location, didn't feel safe. Condition and cleanliness were subpar. Other peoples hair in the tub, stained carpet throughout the hallways. We didn't even entertain their continental breakfast. Putting a red X next to this one to never stay here again.
