I booked a room it showed a picture of a Governors suite with a full Kitchen, and there was none. The first room they gave me was a queen room with no microwave. I had to go to the desk and tell them I booked a Govenors suite with a full kitchen. They told me they don't have any, those are only at extended stay hotels. They claimed Travelocity falsely offered it. I had no room service, if I needed linen,I was told to bring mine down and they would replace it. On the second day, I asked if they could empty the trash and re-stock every thing. By the time I got back that evening, nothing was done. I had to go to the desk and complain, then they sent a maid to do it. My trash cans were so full I was going to dump them in the hall if they didn't do their job. I will never stay at a Red Lion again. The advertised breakfast buffet was nothing but cereal, muffins,banana's, apples, bagels coffee, and juice...WOW. NOT WHAT I PAID FOR :( :(

The temperature was too hot and the air conditioning was broken. Paint in the tub and shower was cracked and peeling. No overhead lights and the lamps were dim. I will never stay there again.

It was a basic hotel room, I'm wouldn't take a shower/ bath because there was a huge cracking and removal of the coating of the inside of the tub. It didn't look sanitary and looked kinda rusty. Iwish I'd taken a picture. The beds were hard and the balcony door said it only opened 4 inches for safety, but it opened all the way. Service was great, very friendly and inviting. But the room left us with something else to be desired.
