Good staff and nice but not what I was expecting. The smell in the hallways said “old hotel” and same thing goes for the rooms.

Disliked: Amenities
The lady that checked us in was super nice gave us food recommendations. Room was clean some outlets didn’t work hair dryer didn’t work and the water from the shower got all over the bathroom floor , checked in at the radisson desk and then she put us all the way at the end of the hall
Terrible all the way around. Bad section of town, the Red Lion is actually boarded up and you have to enter thru the hotel next door. Homeless everywhere and roaming the hotel halls begging for money. Pot smoke pervasive. No ammenities in the rooms and every surface is sticky. Totally misrepresented.
