    They never gave us the WIFI password nor was there any informational paper in the room. The bed was a bit too firm.

    The view from our room. The staff was great. Loved the deep bath tub and lighted bathroom mirror. Loved that the toilet wasn’t low to the ground but full size

    On Booking.com's website, the hotel say that no advance payment is required and that payment can be made at the property upon check-in. However, a few hours after I made my reservation, my credit card was charged the full amount of my stay plus a $75 security deposit. This was never mentioned on the website or when I made the reservation. The security deposit was returned a few days after check-out. I think the website and the hotel should be more clear about these types of charges to avoid surprises.

    Great location, good parking and friendly staff.

    The hotel needs some renovating. It’s a bit tired. The exterior paint is peeling, and the carpets are pretty stained.

    The staff was very friendly and professional. The breakfast was fresh and delicious. Our waitress was great.

    Getting a little ‘old / worn’ in the rooms. Lobby and restaurant have been updated but the room needs some love. Faucets / shower have seen better days. Bed was comfortable but starting to sag.

    Location was good and plenty of decent restaurants only a short drive away. Family and Pet friendly - there’s a lot of both at this hotel every time we stay here.

    door to room and bathroom door need replacing, they are a mess. we came with swimwear and planned to swim, it was pretty cold water and the hot tub wasn't available made the best of it.

    It was quite and we slept well. Loved the water pressure in the shower! Very clean!

    We chose to stay this particular time as we wanted a relaxing evening by the pool/spa. Sadly the spa was unavailable. I wish I had been alerted to this when checking in as we wouldn’t have stayed. The restaurant has changed and it’s so expensive it’s priced most families out of what the middle class can afford. Breakfast is no longer included.

    The property is easy to access and half of the rooms have the water view which is stunning. We have stayed here many times and we enjoy being close to great restaurants and we enjoy using the spa/pool.

    (Note to reader: I did not put the "sad face" emoji you see to the left; they did. They are also putting "what I didn't like" above what I did. This was not the order they asked the questions. Pease read the positives first. I loved this place and would prefer you to read the good parts first!) The rooms definitely need remodeling. You can tell the hotel is very old... Warping wood in furniture and door frames. The door to the outside was one I questioned whether or not someone could easily just kick in because the door and lock was so loose and rickety. (Room 132). I could say daylight thru the frame. The carpet has seen better days (I wore slippers around), and while I loved the extra wet bar, if I wasn't careful enough, I'd get sprayed in the face with too powerful a flow once the water was turned on, if I forgot to lift the lever very carefully! Some of the charging ports no longer worked and the bathroom mirror-light seemed to take about 2 seconds to actually come on, so no problem - I just stood still until it did and I could see. Lastly, the crew seemed very understaffed so if I needed something, I came to the desk to get it myself vs asking someone to bring it to me (I needed an extra blanket, one night a wine bottle opener, etc ). So those nice perks of having someone bring you these little incidentals does not exist at this hotel. Overall, I still love Red Lion and will come back. The selling points to me were location, restaurant/bar and staff. Please don't remodel too nicely or I won't be able to afford coming back!!!

    LOVED the location. You have a goldmine here. Loved waking up to the river as my view and being able to walk outside to the beautiful scenery and fresh, brisk air to start my day - which I did each day! The restaurant and lobby are easy to find comfort in and I also enjoyed each of them daily. Denise at the bar was wonderful and many staffed at the front counter were also kind, helpful and lovely to interact with. Also, loved Brit in housekeeping who left me cute, positive post-it notes each time she was in my room to clean. I left her responses and we went back and forth. I thought that was cute!

    While upgrades have been made, there are some areas that cood be improved. That would make the rating go from good to excellent. The music in the lobby was a little loud, it made it difficult to converse when I checked in.

    I liked having access into our room from the hall and from outside. Staff was cheerful and helpful. Location along the river was good, even in the dead of winter.
