Hall rugs and runners need replacing, duct tape repairs everywhere just doesnt work. Bathroom toilet seat needs replace or repair. Five times I had to return to main desk and secure a working key card. After traveling all day, next morning I went to a stale dried out breakfast that was supposed to be fried eggs sausage and toast, all of which old and hard. Horrible. Staff was accommodating and kind, keepers all except one who appeared lost and unmotivated. Hope you make necessary improvements.

Approach with caution

*not an incentivized review* Okay, so when you check into a hotel and they put you on the 2nd floor, but then advise you to pay no mind to the damaged doors you'll see on your walk to your room from a fire a few years ago... What! We walked through a decent looking lobby, up a decent looking elevator, onto the 2nd floor, AKA the dirty lil secret of the red Lion. The only thing worse in the hallway than the randomly patched up doors, was the grossest carpet I've ever seen in my life, being held to the floor by off brand duct tape and years of filth. It was a ripped, wrinkly, tripping hazard that will make you need a tetanus booster should you fall into it. The room itself was okay; like a fun little time capsule from 1995, including the manufacture date on the appliances and mattresses. The coffee maker didn't even try, the bean water was a cold, sad cup of despair. The HVAC didn't work properly, the room was freezing all night long. Probably would not recommend this place unless you're desperate, or paying by the hour. Also, be advised that the breakfast is an ADDITIONAL $7 per person, which is probably not worth it since they've honestly struggled with basic maintenance and upkeep.

Run down and poor conditions.

Grungy and smelly. Air conditioner in first two rooms were broke. Third room was an upgrade to different wing of property. Air conditioner worked however the bathroom had mold in grout in tile. Water would run dark brown for the first couple seconds. Smelt like mud and rust. Manager told me at checkout they are aware and doing their best. Would not recommend.

Overall the property was clean, but there where quite a few out of order signs hung up on veriouv equipment. The thermostat in my room was broken and the fans didn't work all that well either. Also the bathtub needed to be scrubbed badly as it was yellow with soap scum. The showerhead also had really bad water pressure. Other than that the room was clean. Bed was comfortable but only had one thin blanket with a stain on it. ofordersigns
