Liked: Staff & service
The checkin staff are great. Friendly and accommodating. Building and rooms are older and it shows especially in the bathrooms. Some need more TLC than others. Beds are clean and comfortable. It is quiet. Nice to have a place on site to grab a quick basic meal.
Everything was wonderful and the young lady that my husband and I met at the front desk had such great customer service, She made the experience of staying at Red Lion the most memorable one. Please forgive me, I don't remember her name, just her face.
My original room had a mold smell that would take you out of here you could not breathe. The room was not in good condition. The second room was not two clean but better than the first room which they said it was an upgrade but it really wasn’t the condition just wasn’t as bad as the first one. The problem with the second room on the fourth floor was it smelled like gas it was so strong it had me lightheaded and couldn’t inhale I told the maintenance men and one said he knew they called someone and they came out and said it wasn’t a problem and it only smelled like that because the boiler room was on that floor. I said there are boiler rooms in all buildings and it is not leaking gas smells if so something is wrong. But management was nice and gave me my money back. I did not stay there I left the hotel immediately with my family.

The airport shuttle was excellent, very friendly. The entire staff was friendly. The interior was a little dated. I felt safe during the day but I did not feel safe leaving the hotel after dark.
The area is really busy with foot traffic which wasn't a problem because no one bothered us at night.Plus some guy sitting in the lobby warning us about the prostitution that goes on at night....My main concern with the hotel would be the roaches that came out from behind the TV mount and room 1334. We were moved to room 1119 same issues more small baby roaches crawling across the bed and walls. At this point I had already driven many hours and wanted to lay down so I stayed until 7am my daughter on the other hand left in the middle of the night due to the bugs. Which she was the only reason I came to town was to visit. The hotel needs little improvement with bugs and cleanness. I would not recommend to anyone.

The lighting in the room was not that good. Elevator stopped on the 2nd floor but the door didn't open. Room was decent just not light enough. 2 of the wall sockets didn't work nether did the sockets on the lamps.
The hotel was clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. The airport shuttle (shared with the Radisson) runs once per hour (each way) and I had to phone the hotel on arrival at the airport to access it. There was a fitness suite and restaurant on-site - but I didn't use either. For public transit, there is a bus stop a 1-min walk away and the Lynx Blue Line (metro) is a 10-min walk away. There are plenty of restaurants and convenience stores (in car fuel stations) within easy walking distance. I would happily stay here again.
I don’t realize I had to put down a $75 deposit and pay for the room for $76. I was told I’d get my deposit back in a few days.

Disliked: Staff & service
I stayed for 3 nights. They never brought towel or wash clothes. When asked they didn’t have any ready, I asked two hours later and still nothing. I had to beg for a washcloth.
Was not in the best area of town, lots of homeless walking around the area, room had crumbs on table next to microwave.

Disliked: Room comfort
The room was beyond my expectations for the price. It was clean only problem I had was the bed was so uncomfortable I did not rest well. But other than that the customer service was outstanding.
