The first room was dirty, as in spilled sticky soda or something on the desk, the chair had black stains and was grimey, the sink in the bathroom didnt frain the toilet didnt flush, 2nd room floor was stickey was not swept or mopped, the ac didnt work, the bathrrom by the toilet had stuckey spots on the floor the, toilet had pubic hair in it, and the absolute worst was blood on the bed.. we let the front staff know. She was super opolagetic and said for us to call expidia to get our refund, with the comment of they don't always call when they're supposed to. I was on the phone with Expedia, and they called the hotel several times and nobody answered on the phone again with them. This morning and they called and was told the manager would be in at 9 AM. When I called, they told me the manager won't be in until Monday. It was our twenty first anniversary, so it ruined everything.Considering we traveled there out of town, I would just like my refund and my deposit back.Thank you

Room was extremely hot and the only way to cool it was opening the window. Hallways were disgusting and looked like they havent been vacuumed in months. There was a used bar of soap from the previous guest still in the shower. At the restaurant i waited 50 minutes for a chicken quesadilla! I will say the manager was very helpful and made an effort to make amends. Overall not pleased even remotely. I have stayed in a lot of red lions, and they have always been good to me but I will not be back to this one
