Older property. Was probably great when it opened. Worn not too dirty. Staff was great. Elevator broke from the minute I stepped off until the minute I left. It was kind of noisy, Near a busy street and noise upstairs until 4:00. It wasn’t them fixing the elevator. But the cheapest decent place close to town.

I have been staying here for the past 4 months for work Mon-Thurs. You honestly can't beat the rate. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Whenever I had a problem with something in my room (simple maintenance), they got someone up there right away to take care of it. The beds are pretty comfortable (I had a king). The only real issue I had was with the heater/ac, not a deal breaker, but something that should be looked at. Overall, my experience is a good one. I will definitely be staying there again. Thank you to all the staff! P.S. The breakfast is pretty good. Not just coffee and cold food. Each day they do something nice and hot.

4/10 Fair

Whole hotel felt neglected. In our room, the toilet didn't flush right. The coffee maker didn't work. The furniture was dirty, and the room temperature couldn't be controlled. The bed was comfortable however.

Had a wonderful check in, super friendly staff! It’s an old hotel but has been maintained extremely well, very vintage and fun. The beds were comfortable, shower was hot, towels soft. We didn’t get to try the restaurant, bar, or breakfast, but the coffee was fantastic! Will stay again!

The history of this hotel is great. New guests need to be brought up to the real of status of the Red Lion Chain. And the staff are excellent. Prices are best I have seen in years. This puts me back into some travel into the new year. Also the connection to Sonesta seems to be a great partnership. Thanks

Staff was absolutely stunning. Any issues we had got instantly resolved! Having amazing conversations and relatable times with staff allowed an easy and homely stay for our week at the red lion. Each person was personal and if a situation were to raise it was instantly resolved!

2/10 Poor

Staff were great and even called me to let me know that they had lost heat in the part of the hotel where I'd booked a room, so they put me in an alternate (but not as nice) room. However, I was also told that I could get reimbursed for the room cost difference if I worked through Hotels.com. After attempting this and multiple phone calls, even Hotels.com has not gotten a response and I am out the extra money.

Front desk service was extremely good room was above average. The hotel seems to be under construction as the hallways need refurbished dramatically overall, it was worth the money spent.
