Was not able to stay. Their website said they had RV parking, there was no RV parking and absolutely nowhere to turn an RV. Parking lot was small, if i had pulled in with truck & camper I would not have been able to turn around.

Hi Jayne, I apologized for misunderstanding about the parking. On the website it says that there is Free Cell Parking.

I hoped that the property would be cleaner than the last time I was there, but regardless of updated furniture the carpets still looked dirty and the hallways and common areas were still run down and poor looking.

There is nothing to write that is positive about this property, the rooms are not clean! The room I booked was a single queen room with microwave and fridge, they put us in a room with neither of each and also double full size beds, the floors had not been vacuumed, questionable that the sheets were fresh! This place is a Dump!

Older hotel, stayed in a non-smoking room but when opening the door you could tell it was a smoking room before. Appears smoke still in the paint or carpet. Beds are on a metal platform, no box spring, so mattress didn’t give much.

DONT DO IT!!!
Well the front desk people barely spoke English we had 2 rooms because my sister came with to go to the pumpkin patch & the keys to her room didn't work numerous times & she had to get atleast 5 sets of keys. There was mold in the bathroom of room 119. The bathtubs were filthy. The carpets needed replaced. The breakfast was a joke the oranges were brown and they didn't have any waffle mix. & we were over charged.

Second Chances are worth it!
We stayed at this same hotel a year ago and decided to give it another shot since under new branding/leadership. It was greatly improved, still has a long ways to go but some of the nasty smells and dead bugs from a year ago were not present this year. Keep up the amazing work, hopefully we'll see you again next year!

This is not a Red Lion, it might be that name, but it’s an old Super 8. Had I not booked it I would have left The room was clean, but everything getting to it was not. The outside was full of weeds and garbage. If we rated it it would be one star. The fridge was not in the room. But the TV worked. Breakfast was very limited and my bagel had been there a while (one bite and it went to the garbage). Waffle was good😂 Sorry but I would not recommend this place to anyone. I’m usually very mellow and flow with what we are given, this one was bad. Not sure how Red Lion allows its name to be associated with this place.

Decent room at a very reasonable price. Bed comfortable, AC worked well despite a south-facing window and hundred-degree temperatures, no problems with highway noise despite proximity of I-80. A little trouble with the wi-fi password—what looked like an upper-case L on the key envelope was actually supposed to be lower-case. Make that a little clearer, for future guests?

Check-in took 25 minutes; I had a confirmation email and conf. # but staff could not seem to find it, barely spoke to communicate to me what the issue was. I considered the room unsafe because there was a broken hair dryer (it heated but did not blow air, so there was no sound to alert anyone to it being on—FIRE hazard. The walls were covered in dirt (I took photos), stickers from clothing (there was an outlet mall across the parking lot) stick to bathroom walls, and strong odor in room. The spot for the microwave and mini fridge were empty, there were none (both are amenities listed on the website). If I could give a negative star, I would.

I'm low-maintenance, but this is lower
I have stayed in several miserable places around the world and consider myself low-maintenance when it comes to lodging, but this has taken low-maintenance to a new low. There has been little to no investment in keeping this rebranded Super 8 up, but as the only place nearby I'm sure it continues to generate cash for the owners. To their credit, my bed was new and comfortable, but otherwise every single aspect of the physical building was in very poor shape. The smell of smoke permeated the carpet. The bathroom, while clean, featured cracks, a lifeless fan, and threadbare towels. Breakfast consisted of two cereals, pairs of white bread wrapped in cellophane and a waffle-maker.
