    Nasty place

    I've never left a place so fast in my life. There are people living there and the doors (at least 5-6 we passed) look like they've been hit with battering rams or broken into. The entire place is filthy and I'm horrible shape. We felt unsafe. Our bed was more like a bowl than board. It was so broken down it should have been replaced a decade ago. We immediately checked out and went to La Quinta near the mall.

    Horrifying how can this be 3 stars

    Oh my… this hotel needs to be condemned. I stayed here 25 years ago when it was a nice hotel. It is so run down and discusting. We came for a concert and had our boys so we wanted a place with a pool to enjoy. It was green and has garbage floating in it. The box spring was broke on one of the beds and nothing was done about it when we asked. The towels looked like shop rags with stains. They should be ashamed of showing pictures that do not fit this hotel at all what so ever. My kids were mortified and we couldn’t find anything else on a busy night like this one. I told them it builds character. We hopefully can look back and laugh about this experience one day.

    Never stay again@

    This place is disgusting, but has a COUPLE of good things. The room was clean, shower was nice, lots of very hot water, bed was comfy, room air conditioning was good Bad things: dirty worn carpet with tape over torn parts, torn screens, broken furniture, outside trash cans full and overflowing, 2nd floor balcony was filthy.

    Do not stay here.

    The hotel was filthy. The toilet in our room did d not work. We were given a plunger and tasked with fixing it, rather than hotel staff. There were large groups of people loitering in the parking lot at night. Do not stay here. Do not trust thr Red Lion name.

    Poor

    The carpet in the hallway was duct taped and rippled. I don't think we could have pushed my husband's wheelchair down the hallway. I'd be surprise if someone hasn't tripped and fallen there. Couldn't stay there. It seemed they didn't care about it either.
