First room had mold in it we found after our first night and our kid was sick from her allergy. Moved rooms amd instantly roaches were all over. They claim restaurant and lounge are under renovation but that area clearly looked as if nothing was going on. Its beside a strip club and a homeless camp. We left immediately.

The hallways were dirty and damaged. The rooms had a stale smell with a view of a wall outside the window. The window, curtain, window sill were very dusty, the sticky dusty that has not be removed in months. There were lots of drug addicts around the vicinity. There was no persons tending the front desk and directed to the adjoining front desk of the Radisson hotel. I did check for bed bug unsure if there were any but I do have a few bites and itchiness that I did not come in with.

The Red Lion had very recently been taken over by the attached Raddison Hotel. The rooms I requested were unavailable due to renovations so we were stuck in full-sized beds instead of queen-sized. We booked two rooms. One room was fine. The other original room smelled like smoke and had a bunch of cockroaches. They moved us and the other room was fine. The staff that we interacted with were fantastic but there were other problems besides the room issues mentioned. We started the stay with watching tv in The Red Lion lobby. After the first couple days, the remote disappeared and the tv was off. We didn’t have it again. Also, the lobby was closed because of the take over so the Red Lion front doors were set so they only opened for people going out. However. After the first few days, the doors would not open at all. It felt like a fire hazard.
