Easy parking. Check in the front desk gal didn't talk to us other then getting our card for payment. Didn't tell us if there was a complimentary breakfast. Asked about indoor pool was told closed for season. She gave us our room keys. Didn't tell us where or how to get to our room. Room was okay but was cold as the heater was turned completely off. Took abit to warm room up.No coffeemaker in room. Had freezing rain one night no ice melt spread or any attempt to keep the walkways from being slick

Front desk person was personable and helpful, the room was clean and the bed was comfortable. However, the room was VERY cold, with an ineffective heater, there was no TV service available, and outside lighting in the front of the building was practically nonexistent. It was difficult to even see the driveway into the parking lot. Definitely not the quality I’ve become accustomed to from Red Lion.

Room was dingy, old, badly in need of a fresh coat of paint. Barking dog in the room next door and fighting guests across the hall. Smelled if cigarettes. I walked straight out and returned my key. They said they would refund my room but did not.
Staff was wonderfull. Just one glitch. Night staff said we had to move when we found out we needed another night but day staff was GREAT and they said absolutly don't have to move, we;ll make it work for you

Staff was really great. The TV was a wonderful size and because we had an unexpected added day because our niece team won district volleyball championship we needed another day and they were so accommodating we didn't even have to change rooms for the extra day!
