Red lion has fallen so low
Exposed wiring on outlets. Home made cut curtains to go over windows around furnace. Homeless loitering around hotel and minimal security since rooms opened to the exterior. Heard yelling all night. Called on the phone for towels to be brought to our room since we booked a four person room and were stocked with two. Not professional staff or house keeping service. Front lobby was playing inappropriate channels on tv.

Not thrilled
We were very disappointed in the front desk staff and inability to be kind or say welcome or thank you. There was also not closet in the room and we were not allowed to have a ground level or 2nd level room even though we are older and have medical problems associated with shoulders and knees. NO ELEVATOR.

Old and dirty
The curtains were so old they had holes and tears in them. My patio was a shared patio with a shredded curtain for privacy. The room smelled like old cooking grease, shower had mold on ceiling. No internet service even with wi-fi. The only thing ok about this room was the bed was somewhat comfortable.

There was no closet and the internet didn’t work. The heater was broken so it was impossible to change the heat.

When I arrived the front desk told me that they’re not having power 8am-2pm the following morning. So that changed the morning routine. The fridge still had stuff in it and there was a dirty towel in the shower

This place is a disaster
The room was small the marks of blood on the curtain, the walk oiy patio door opening to the outside stairs was left open, the sink in the toilet was in the corner you could hardly use and the toilet seat being defective could not be left open to urinate cleanly. All night long the drunk teenagers next door were throwing up and flushing the toilet which disallowed us to sleep. Why pay so much for this mess??

The place was too noisy. I could hear my neighbor's conversation all night. Also they placed me near the hotels laundry facility and there was noise coming from there too.
They offered a small continental breakfast, it was very small and only was on saturday morning. Sunday there was none.
