Back in the day, this was called Garden Inn. It was funky and run down then. I think they changed the carpet into vinyl and that's it. I was surprised, being under the Red Lion name and thought they'd do more than that. It still has old cigarette burns on the edge of the tub. lol There were ants and some other things, but overall was OK.. the people were nice.

Marginal property
A handicap accessible room not truly accessible. Grab bars present in bathroom, but unable to access shower since it was a tub over shower. The blanket on the bed had a huge hole in it. The continental breakfast was marginal. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The property was not the quality I expect from Red Lion.
The front desk staff is very friendly and helpful. It was fun hanging out with them, chatting, and getting to know them. They made the stay 100% worth while! My only complaint is the room was filled with ants. The bed was comfortable and cleaning staff did a good job of keeping the rooms and building clean (minus the infestation of ants).
The front desk gentleman James made our stay amazing! He was funny, kind, and personable! We thank you James!
Rooms could be a little cleaner we found hair in toilet/ shower area. Bed was comfortable, room and hotel quiet.
Found long hairs in bathroom that were not my color. Tried to put me in room where the door rarely opened with the key. I tried atleast a dozen times before returning to the front desk and asking for help. They tried another 5-10 times before door finally opened.
I was told a new owner took over that day, so maybe it will get better, but I will not stay there again .
