When booking this hotel to visit our college kid, we understood that for the price we were not getting a 5 star resort. We have reasonable expectations for this price and the location and have stayed in similar priced hotels nearby.
The RedLion offered a good price and close proximity to the University. However, it was extremely worn down. Upon entry the room smelled like sewage, we discovered that if we kept the bathroom door closed the smell relented a little. Everything was a little
Run down in the room, broken and dirty picture frames and decor, no battery in the smoke alarm, the back door of the room that opened to the courtyard was broken as well as the AC vent. The motor on the front doors key-lock was going out and always took several tries to open, sometimes needing maintenance to come help.
With that said I will say we found the bed to be clean and extremely comfortable. The provided breakfast was simple (premade jimmy dean sandwiches, toast and cereal) but sufficient. The location for us was great, a quick 5min drive to the University.
I would not stay here again, but for the price it is what is expected.
