Even though it was listed as having a pool and hot tub, they weren’t open “for the season” yet. Room was clean, bed comfortable and breakfast buffet was good with both hot choices (sausage, scrambled eggs, potatoes eat and oatmeal) and cold cereals, bagels, and bread for toast, plus fresh fruit.

Staff was great! Close to downtown and the extra mile arena. Only downside was not having an ac unit in our room and a functional bathroom fan. Otherwise I wouldn’t mind booking a future stay.

For a Red Lion Hotel this location could be better. Not much happening inside the hotel lobby space but it was a good weekend stay overall.

The property was accented by the view and the access to the Downtown area. The staff were friendly and the young lady that ran the Breakfast Buffets, Amber, was very nice and the food she had prepared was excellent. Thank you for a nice stay!

The uniqueness of the property is the view! The accessibility to the Downtown area is great as well. However, that was overshadowed by the front desk personnel who, the week before and every stay I've ever had there, did not charge the customary 50.00 deposit, instead she charged my card 200.00 and tried ti justify this increase by saying things like, "Since you're a local you might party too hard and destroy the room!" I could not believe that i was hearing what she had said! I'm 58 years old and my "Party like a rock star" days have been over for 3 decades. So, even though I used to be a Bartender at Characters, which was the bar in the Red Lion Downtowner, I'm penalized for being a "Local" who needed a place to stay that night! I was ashamed at my choice of hotels that night, but I had made a nonrefundable reservation so it was either lose my reservation and be out 100.00 or suck it up and pay the 200 00, which I have yet to get back onto my card, or take the loss. I chose to go to sleep in a hotel I didn't recognize anymore.

The staff were great, and the amenities were fine for the price (pool, hotel breakfast, etc). I have zero complaints about those aspects. The hotel is in need of a renovation and everything is very dated (if I had to guess the carpet and everything is from the 80’s maybe early 90’s). Additionally, the area around it is a little dodgy. There are homeless that stay at a lot across the street, a strip club nearby, a transitional housing type apartment complex, an homeless charity type thing to the south, etc. I have nothing against the homeless population, but that is all in the vicinity of the hotel and might influence how comfortable you feel. I personally didn’t want to do any of my exercise at night knowing this. That said, the police station is right across the street, a nice pizzeria just a block away, as well as luxury apartments right off the street so it’s hard to say anything definitive about the area being dumpy or not. I can say I didn’t have any major issues, the property doesn’t tolerate any criminal elements in the hotel itself and the guests all seemed like normal people. It’s a decent place to stay if you are on a budget, but if you want something nicer and are willing to pay more, you should look for something closer to downtown.
