Don’t waste your money!
Terrible, would never stay here again. Stayed for 5 nights. Beds were never made and fresh towels were a challenge to get. You had to turn in old towels at the front desk in order to get new towels. Infested with drug addicts and several homeless people in the hotel parking lot. Motel6 would have been a better option.

Perfectly cromulent experience
This place isn’t horrible, but it isn’t great either. It was nice to be in the middle of downtown, but the room AC didn’t work, there was water damage on the ceiling and walls, and the overall experience was underwhelming.

DIDNT FEEL SAFE
The pictures that they provide online are NOT what my room looked like. VERY OUTDATED! I was afraid to walk to my car because of the transients. I felt unsafe walking to the elevator. Police were there daily.

It was a basic hotel room, I'm wouldn't take a shower/ bath because there was a huge cracking and removal of the coating of the inside of the tub. It didn't look sanitary and looked kinda rusty. Iwish I'd taken a picture. The beds were hard and the balcony door said it only opened 4 inches for safety, but it opened all the way. Service was great, very friendly and inviting. But the room left us with something else to be desired.

Mold on walls
I got in late just needed a bed to sleep in. Everything looked fine to my tired eyes. When I woke up in the morning I noticed all the mold in the bathroom and stains on the carpet

Decent location, under renovation
Its an old hotel currently under renovation so the rooms are pretty outdated and worn. Not the best neighborhood at night but during the day its fine. Right across from small park and original Capitol location. Short walk to a few cute shops and the water. No fast food anywhere in the little downtown which we loved. Uber is quick to deliver there and the capital building is super close. Check with staff about cooling system updates before booking in the summer. Our room was 75 degrees in February and wouldn't cool so we had to leave the balcony door open. In the summer that wouldn't work.

Long Way to Go
Someone was smoking marijuana on the 4th floor and stunk up the entire floor. The lights were all unplugged in our room and we had to find the wires and plug them back in. We were only given 1 set of towels and enough bath soap for 1 person. The heat was off in the lobby and breakfast room requiring the front desk clerk to wear a parka while working. There was nobody managing the breakfast area and they ran our of coffee, cream cheese, etc. It looks like Red Lion just bought the establishment, so maybe they can improve the situation, but currently it needs significant improvement.
