Great Hotel! And so comfy

Pocatello is the one of the coldest places and the Red Lion has always been the gem in that city. every year I ski in Inkom and I must stay at the Red Lion. they have an awesome bar, the staff is really nice and the red lion bed is so comfy. I really like the old school decor. That's red lion showing how comfy it is. My room had the atrium view with the pool and that really was great! I'm coming back next year for sure. Also I like the Jack in the box, really good food, its no Del taco, but I have a hunch one day there will be a Del taco very close to the red lion and I will be having ski trips there for at least 5 days instead of 2 days I normally try and stay. Nevertheless I really like this hotel.

Great hotel

This was a good hotel for the price. The only sad thing is that there was no breakfast included in our room purchase.

Not what I would have expected

Pros: The location was good. Right along the freeway.
Cons: The welcoming nature of the staff. Hotel needs a remodel / repaint / repair / update. The pool / hot tub conditions are poor.
My welcome at the front desk was "I'll be with you in a minute". Not, "Welcome to Red Lion. I'm just finishing with an occupant and I'll be right with you please". There was nothing in my reservation that indicated that the continental breakfast was not included. The swimming pool was FREEZING. The hot tub was luke warm. There were no towels at the pool, even though the front desk indicated that they would make sure there would be when I called them. The general condition of the hotel was "old" and "in significant need up upgrade / remodel". I won't be staying there again.

Good location Perkins Resturant great food

Pros: Location was near where I needed to be
Cons: Remodeling noise was bad during the stay we were there it was during the afternoon times and my girlfriend had a bad headache
Location: Indian Casino near by it has a No Smoking section - Mall is about 10 miles away
They are remodeling and it is noisy becuase of them trying to remove indoor/outdoor carpet next to pool - pool and hot tub were both out of order - -free breakfast buffet but you need to be there early 6:00am - 9:00am weekdays food is ok

Dusty mess

On entering the room it just smelled old and dusty like the hallways smelled old. Then we see the heater surround is just laying on the floor and the filter is full of gunk. Then we look around, the furniture has not been dusted. There are hairs and dirt at the head of the bed. Housekeeping is very poor here. When I enter a hotel room I don't expect to have leftover people in there. So called front desk and they immediately gave us another room. It was a suite. Big room. Looked clean on the surface but there was mold in the shower. Lots of stuff at the top of the bed behind the headboard and underneath the bed were candy wrappers and dirt. Someone needs to train your housekeeping personnel. I don't mind vintage but dirt is inexcusable. No wont stay at this one again.

Hotel was right off of I-95

Pros: Out tub was clogged after the first but the maintenance man fixed it right away and he was very pleasant.
Cons: The furnace could be updated
The staff in the breakfast area are rude. But the lady at the desk was really nice.

Renovating

After driving 13 hours you can't wait to get to your hotel. When I walked in the last at the counter didn't greet me so I wasn't sure where to go to check in until I asked her do I check in here and her response was Yeah. We didn't have a fridge but there was a spot for one in the room. When asked about it the front desk said it probably had a faulty fridge so they took it out. We didn't have a DVD player but there was a spot for one. When you have kids that want to watch their favorite movie what do you do? There tv was confusing because they had 2 tv remotes. A guide should go with it.

Nice hotel near the main highway

Pros: I liked the location and the room was nice and clean.
Cons: Let the hotel staff know that Guest don't need to hear their hallway conversions and doors can be closed without being slammed.
Location: The location was fine and there were lots of restaurants and shops nearby. This hotel had a restaurant located in the main lobby.
This was a clean and nice hotel all of the accommodation were acceptable. My only complaint is the hotel staff made lots of noise in the hall and repeatedly slammed the door to the supply closet locate near my room. I guess next time i will ask for a room far away form any supply closets or break-rooms.
