This hotel ticked all the boxes. It was a really good price in the location we were looking for. Hotel / Bar staff were amazing. The food smelt amazing although did not spend enough time at the hotel to try this. Rooms were tired and maintenance was questionable but for us, we were happy that really we had got what we paid for. Would definitely stay again if need a hotel in the area. Room had everything you needed including iron and ironing board

The staff were great and the Indian cuisine was amazing! The first room they showed us was in bad shape - broken doorknob, broken cabinet, no water pressure. They switched us to another room that was just fine and were nice about it. They’re going to renovate and repair all the hotel rooms this summer - when they’re all fixed this will be a great place to stay. Despite the hiccup we really enjoyed the Red Lion Inn.

The room looked clean at first glance but it was unhygienic - stains on the bedsheets, blanket and in the bathroom. They forgot to provide a fan and it was really hot in the room as well. Not the best room for summers.

The staff was friendly, but that's about it. The state of the room was shocking. There was dust on everything, the room had a very bad odour and had to leave the window half open for the entire night just to be able to stomach the stench. I am pretty sure some other guests smoked there before even with no smoking sign on the door.
