There were several homeless/transient/houseless people obviously placed there; not all, but most were very impolite, rude, and several (at least 6 times over 3 days) asked me for money or food I could spare. The people in the room next to me smoked cigarettes on the balcony and the smoke wafted into my room when I had the sliding door open for fresh air…my laptop and business papers were stolen from in front of my door when I stepped onto elevator for only a brief moment; the room was somewhat clean, there was dust/dirt on floor, table and counter, the bathroom floor was dirty, the tub had yummy film on sides, the shower door had soap scum and the vanity mirrors were smeared. The bed was comfortable. The sofa and chairs were very outdated, dirty, and stained. Lighting was poor. Great view of the mountains and downtown city. Staff was pleasant, only one person available at front most times I stopped by, could not help locate my stolen property, told me to cal police, police responded, but people in room next door refused to answer door. Many many many visitors and noise with the “housed” people. Food was good. Atmosphere with all the homeless/transient people was very offsetting. I will not stay here again.

Overall a very good experience for a very affordable price. Nowhere near as pricey as hotels right in the middle of downtown but still only about a 10 minute walk.

The beds are very comfortable and the rooms were clean. The over all hotel needs a cosmetic update pretty bad. The staff was courteous and welcoming. It would be nice if the hotel would have a security staff on site. There was several questionable people that were staying that were obviously using drugs and disrupting the peace. I did have to call the main office due to no one at the reception picking up. There was a woman passed out in the hall way that was intoxicated and smelled like marijuana.

Red Lion is low quality, very dirty and not well maintained. This location in particular has quite the population of homeless milling inside and outside the establishment. Will never stay here again.

This property is not in a good area and the people who stay there are a little sketchy. No control over the heat of the room so it was a sauna in the room. It smelled of smoke and stagnate air. good to stay and get out but not good if a you are bringing a family.

I think dirty, old, run down, and unsafe speak for itself. Drug addicts all over the grounds outside. Empty liquor bottles and trash in the elevator. Filthy restaurant. No locks on any of the outside entrances. Loud music all night and sirens going off all night long. Worst hotel experience I’ve ever had. It was terrifying! Enough said
