The parking was good. The beds seemed clean. The bathroom floor was filthy. Worst thing was the chair that was in the room it was beyond filthy. Looks like they got it out of dumpster. very worn out building and room. I have stayed in many Red Lions. The price wasnt cheap by any means but the place was so dirty. never again.

Would not stay here
We didn’t actually stay at the hotel, I’m currently working to get my money back. The room was unclean, there were stains on the furniture, garbage and chunks of fur, we saw people selling drugs in the parking lot and it smelled. He went to the room asked for a refund and left

Hotel is a bit dated, you can tell it was really something in its prime though. The room was nicer than expected and the price and location were excellent.

The place looks nothing like the pictures! Everything is broken and outdated. Had to switch rooms on second night because our heater wouldn’t turn off and the roof was leaking. Just a trashy place in general. The staff was nice and helpful.
