Harstine Island hotel guide. Red Lion hotel in Harstine Island, Shelton

"The parking was good, staff was very friendly and rooms were clean but the noise from traffic was really annoying, unfortunately would not recommend or stay again "

"We stayed for four nights. Pros: The night staff were friendly and helpful. The cleaning staff did come in to clean quickly after we had requested. Cons: The breakfast and coffee was pretty horrible. We ended up having to buy our own coffee and breakfast somewhere else. They are pretty old school when it comes to the tv…. Usually we are able to sign in to our Netflix, Hulu and so on at other hotels. We weren’t able to do so here, which was a disappointment. There’s no room service which was an inconvenience. The elevator was down and no one notified us or other hotel guest. I wouldn’t stay here again."

"Upon arrival, I was surprised to learn the hotel is under renovation. It would have been nice to know that detail ahead of time. Construction noise wasn't an issue, but it did impact the stay. The regular entrance was closed off, requiring guests to walk around to the side of the building. I felt like signage could have been better; walking around the outside of the building at dusk as a solo female was a little disconcerting. The temporary check-in area was a desk set up in the hallway. There wasn't really space to have any privacy when talking over details of stay with staff. This wasn't a huge deal, just a little awkward. The room was very clean and well-furnished. The bed, though comfortable, had a mattress cover (pad?) with a very rough texture that made the sheets unpleasant to touch. The biggest issue was the shower. When I went to take a shower the next morning, a) there was zero hot water coming from the shower and b) there was a minimal trickle of water (even at highest water pressure) coming from shower. I did report the shower issues to staff upon checkout. Breakfast was fine....eggs, sausage, waffle maker, bagels, a couple cereals. I was in the breakfast area for about 20 minutes and didn't see an attendant come by to double check cleanliness/quantities/etc. I'm not someone who needs things to be a certain way, but as someone who doesn't stay in hotels often, I was looking forward to a relaxing stay without kids for the night and was disappointed."

"Clean room, comfortable bed and pillows, nice staff and delicious breakfast "

"Room was at par with other places I have stayed. Staff was pleasant and attentive. They have an in house kitchen /restaurant for food and drinks if desired. Close to the freeway but was on the other side so was quiet. Not in a busy area."

"Great front desk staff. Good breakfast!!"

"This room was clean and perfect for a night's stay to watch a game at Cheney and not have to drive. Bathroom was clean, bed was clean, serviceable amenities, attentive front staff, quiet at night, and it was nice to park your car behind a gated area. Safer area of Tacoma, will definitely stay again. "

"Amber, at the Reception Desk was so nice and helpful. She told me where close restaurants were and that was just what I needed after a long drive. My room had been upgraded to a king suite with a walk-in shower and that was spectacular!!! I didn't eat breakfast there because I preferred to sleep late. The bed was so comfy!!! I slept soundly each night. No noise to be heard. The only thing I didnt like was there was no Diet Dr. Pepper in the cold case. Coke products, which I drank, but not my drink of choice. Basically, I had zero complaints and would definitely stay there again if I was in the area."
