Terrible hotel, outdated and dirty. Stains on furniture, hair and bugs on the bed, Stains on the window to an unmowed courtyard, pool was ice cold and not what was presented online. Tub had soap scum and after taking shower the tub wouldn't drain, bathroom sink wouldn't drain after brushing teeth. This hotel should be taken off your list. I checked out within 2 hours of checking in, I was promised a full refund.

The room was just fine, the property itself needs quite a bit of attention. Grounds and building are not maintained at all. No fitness facility to use. Staff was not helpful and quite frankly seemed like they hated their jobs.

Been said in many reviews before but do not stay here. Not maintained, shower will beat you into oblivion, no protien offered at breakfast, air conditioner rattled the walls when it came on. Sheetrock exposed on many walls, just a bad experience overall. Someone needs to actually care about this place but apparently no one does.

The hotel is hopefully under renovations. It was hard to tell if they are actively upgrading it or just stopped. The courtyard was not open the grass not even mowed. When we pulled into the parking lot we were unsure if it was even open. We are not particularly picky people but the pool was dirty there was a lot to be desired for the hotel. I really hope it’s under construction and I booked it online unsure of what it looked like we would not have stayed here if I had not precooked and prepaid for the room.

The hotel staff were very pleasant and the lobby is nice, the pool was not swimmable, despite being open, and the rooms and hallway are very old and need refreshing. things appear to be clean however need desperately to be updated, walking down to the pool was scary maze, drywall hallways, and untended court yards.

Everyone like to be treated well by staff. They were excellent. Helpful and quick to respond. The continenral breakfast was ok, and staff made sure late comers still had options for breakfast. They did good for what the hotel chooses to serve. Building is older but kept as well as can be. It's the hotel that should look at updating the facility. I think there is an expectation when you see Red Lion Inn that if not kept up their reputation will go down hill.
