Clean, warm, quiet, affordable room. Friendly staff. Safe.
Breakfast was sparse...with hard boiled eggs the only protein option, and orange juice out of order.
Staff was really great. The TV was a wonderful size and because we had an unexpected added day because our niece team won district volleyball championship we needed another day and they were so accommodating we didn't even have to change rooms for the extra day!

Beds were great. Staff was nice. Everything else could use some improvement
The hotel was clean inside but outside the landscaping and lack of signage made it feel deserted. The rooms were clean and beds great,

Beds were comfy. Disappointed that the exercise room was closed and the pool didn’t look very inviting.

At check in, no one was present at the desk so I rang the bell. The agent came out of the back, looked at the floor and picked something up, went back, proceeded to vacuum the back office, then start vaccuming the lobby all while I was standing there. Once checked in, we went to the room to find there was no soap in the room (by the sink or in the shower). We went to the desk to purchase a soda and get soap. After a search, we were informed they were out of soap in the hotel. At breakfast the following morning, we got down about 45 minutes after service started and, though there were waffles, there was no syrup. There were a few other minor issues, but the room itself was ok. Prior to our actual check in, we did stop to try to check in early (about 1pm). The room wasn't ready (totally fine and expected). The lady working was very helpful and friendly and responded to the bell immediately.

Front desk person was personable and helpful, the room was clean and the bed was comfortable. However, the room was VERY cold, with an ineffective heater, there was no TV service available, and outside lighting in the front of the building was practically nonexistent. It was difficult to even see the driveway into the parking lot. Definitely not the quality I’ve become accustomed to from Red Lion.
