Decent place to stay if you have pets. Breakfast was good with hot food options. Room is nice, bathroom could've been cleaned better specifically the toilet. Sheets were clean and room was clean. Pool is nice. Surrounding area was nice and very convenient to everything you need. So I would stay again. Staff is nice.

The room was really run down. Sheets had stains, and staff brought did bring a new set. The phone didn't work, main door had to be slammed to latch, bathroom door wouldnt shut all the way, push pins held the wallpaper up in the bathroom.
We only stayed one night. It was night as a stop over hotel. We didn't swim or use the hot top. Breakfast was a normal type in hotels. We have stayed here several times. Always friendly and helpful.
The room wasn't clean. The first key wouldn't even open the door. The bathroom toilet was nasty. To top it off the pool was too cold to get into. Even the area around it was ice cold. We only stayed one night but that was enough to know that we won't be going back.
First time at the red lion. Staff greeted us wonderfully the amenities were perfect. The pool area was amazing the room was clean. Overall our stay rocked. Thank you.

Room was clean but was placed in a handicap room. The toilet kept running all night. The heat did not work very well and the shower was not even hot.

There was a banquet the night we stayed and we were unfortunately in the room closest to the banquet hall. The music blared until midnight and the there was the half hour of people that had over indulged making thier way back to thier rooms. The hotel was fairly empty as far as people spending the night so the staff could have easily put us in a room further from the event. We spoke to them in the morning and politely told them that they could have at least told us ahead of time so we could have made an informed decision. I honestly would have thought the music would have stopped by 10 a. The person at the desk was pilite and said that they had many complaints and apologized. Ibdont mind them having a banquet, they need to make money, just need to improve the communication.
