The room floor , bed and sheets were clean though. The bathroom was updated nicely. The water came out of the tap and toilet rusty orange.

Classic Red Lion. Ignored. Outdated. OLD. The staff is uninterested in the customer and poorly trained. My room had 5 burnt out light bulbs and moldy bathroom grout. I do not recommend it.

Pros (+) Bed was comfy and pool was nice.
Cons (-) They need to be very clear about their prices with KAYAK they charge me an extra $80 I wasn’t going to argue as it was 8 o’clock at night. The ice machine out by the pool didn’t work. Our TV was messing up. They don’t have a free continental breakfast you have to pay six dollars a person for it the carpet was tore up throughout the hallways one of the doors you couldn’t use the key card in at all ...
