Solo traveler with a pet, the room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The front desk staff was very helpful. I would definitely stay there again if I come to Junction City.
You get what you pay for on this motel. It was cheap enough for sure and served its purpose but that’s all. Run down, broken furniture, and not clean. Pulled the blankets back to check for bed bugs and roaches. We didn’t find any but we were still weary. Definitely 2 thumbs down and won’t stay here again.
The staff (you see them walking around together) kind of rude- Hotel AC blew air but not working properly- room never got cold- so they moved us - next room no air..so we tell them , their response “someone was just in there & they didn’t complain “ Ma’am I don’t care about no one else experience when I am telling you it’s 100 degrees outside and it’s hotter in this room!Red flag - so I had to clean out their filters and unplug etc.That was insane..
I had a wonderful stay at Red Lion Inn & Suites, Junction City, Kansas. The hotel is conveniently located right off the highway, making it an excellent choice for travelers. The property was very clean, and my room was spotless, neat, and comfortable. The staff was friendly and made check-in easy. I also enjoyed the complimentary breakfast, especially the biscuits and gravy, which were delicious. Overall, it was a pleasant and relaxing stay, and I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone passing through the area. I would happily stay here again
Overall, this was a fantastic stay, and I would gladly stay here again.
I do have a few suggestions for improvement:
1. I was traveling with a knee injury and requested a first-floor room. I was told none were available due to renovations, but I noticed several first-floor rooms that appeared unoccupied and no renovation work taking place during my stay. If those rooms were unavailable for another reason, better communication would have been appreciated.
2. There was no mention of the additional $20 pet fee when I booked through Expedia, even though I specifically selected a pet-friendly property. I believe this fee should be disclosed more clearly during the booking process to avoid surprises.
3. I had originally booked a room with one king bed but was assigned a room with two double beds instead. Since I was traveling alone, it wasn’t a major issue, and I only used one bed. However, the bed I slept in wasn’t particularly comfortable. Again, this wasn’t a significant problem, but it was the only aspect of the room that fell short of an otherwise excellent stay.
Overall, the staff was friendly, the room was excellent, and I had a very enjoyable stay. I would definitely consider staying here again.
The first room they put us in was trashed. The second rooms door was hard to open and the room was not custom ready. At 12:30 Am someone was trying to get into the room and then came back is a few minutes with a different key card and tried again to get in. I opened the curtains a yelled at him and he ran away. I will let people know this is not a safe place to stay.
Front desk woman was nice and helped me get an extra key when I locked myself out.
Other than that the property was in abysmal condition. Mold on the ceilings in the bathroom, rust on all vents, the top sheet on my bad smelled like body odor and the bottom sheets felt damp? Are we serious? The towels in the bathroom had stains and were damp. I looked at the art on the wall and that somehow had mold too. Were those blood stains I noticed on the chair? Why was there a woman’s hair in the bathtub from a prior stay? I also guarantee you I smell urine in between the bathroom and the main room.
I was dead tired and needed a roof but once I saw a baby cockroach crawling on the ceiling I got out and slept at a rest stop instead. It was $60, I knew better than to book it but thought I could save a buck by being cheap. DO NOT stay here if you have any self respect. What a joke I almost thought this was a prank but this hotel is like this on purpose. If anything it should be sanctioned by some inspection agency.
Unfortunately, my experience at this hotel was not very positive. The room needed a much deeper cleaning or any cleaning at that matter. There were bugs on the window, in the bed, under the bed, and in the bathtub, dust throughout the room, and the carpet appeared as if it had not been vacuumed in a while. I also noticed what looked like small insects in the room.
There was an issue with the door lock when I arrived, my husband and i notice that the door would not remain close or lock when we attempted to leave the hotel The staff did fix it by making it more difficult to open, but the situation still felt a little sketchy and did not leave me feeling completely secure. the desk was very much unstable as to where if you were to put anything on it or rest on it, it would've collapse with no pressure. there was also a hole underneath the sink that was expose to the other side of room and you can constantly hear maintenance .
The hotel is inexpensive, which may be appealing if you're on a budget, but I would recommend bringing your own cleaning supplies. I've stayed in many hotels before, and this was one of the least clean experiences I've had.
No hair dryer. No iron. No facial tissues.
Smoke detector was in a drawer in the bedside table, not on the wall.
Bottom of shower curtain was dirty. Pillow case was dirty.
Toilet made a loud clunking sound everytime you sat on it.
Faucet in sink moved around.
Toilet paper in the bathroom was very hard to reach.
We did not eat the breakfast.
Go somewhere else. Breakfast, joke. Rock hard freezer biscuits. Watered down pancake mix. And other than 2 kinds of cereal that’s it. Door to the room from the outside had gaps and you could see through them. It’s not really worth my time time listing everything. Go somewhere else.
This hotel was terrible. Super overpriced for the quality of rooms. Floors were dirty, bedding had stains, shower curtain was molded. Staff was disrespectful.
I was not satisfied. The rooms were not clean. Hair in the sink, fridge was not plugged in, coverletts on top of beds were dirty, bathtub was clogged, floors were dirty, shower head sprayed everywhere.
