This hotel is a good value and about the best in town. The front desk staff is extremely helpful and welcoming. My room on the 2nd floor was very clean and the bed was comfortable. It had a decent work desk. Would love to see the rooms be given a more modern TV but it works. There is a Tully's... More

The Red Lion provides clean comfortable accommodations at a reasonable price. If you are looking for the ambience of a boutique hotel, you will be disappointed. If you want a large room equipped with fridge, microwave, and a comfy chair you won't be disappointed. It is an older hotel, but it is well maintained. I usually go through Priceline and... More

Too bad, we used to like to go here and have a nice little dinner. Unfortunately tonight has ended our time at the red lion at Kelso, WA. First the waitress (with the thick brunette bangs) was TERRIBLE, after she got our order she was done, didn't ask us once if we need anything else. Waitress and bartender disappeared for... More

Hello, I want to apologize for the service you received in the lounge. Clearly this is not the type of service we want our guests to remember us by. I have spoken to the F&B Manager so these employees can be coached and counseled to better their service skills in the right direction that will keep our valued guests coming... More

This is a hotel that we often stay at on our way to Oregon. It is conveniently located and the rooms are always reliably clean. Sometimes they can be quite crowded because they have a big room that can be rented for conventions; but we have always had decent service.

I recently scheduled a meeting at the conference center at this hotel. We had about 60 people attend. The food, staff and facility were great! Everyone enjoyed the meeting and said the food was delicious. The staff was so friendly and bent over backwards to make sure my meeting was a success. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone!... More

Hello, Thank you for the great review! The weather is horrible this time of the year, but we don’t allow it to dampen our spirits.

My wife and I arrived tired and hungry after a long day on our two motorcycles. We were excited by the idea of prime rib as advertised on the sign out front but it was not to be. The sports bar in the hotel is a poor excuse for a restaurant. There aren't many tables, and all were full when... More

Hello, Thank you for the review. I want to apologize for the service you received upon arriving back from Denny’s. Our goal is to treat every guest with high levels of importance, which you clearly did not receive. Although I am happy you enjoyed the drink, it sounds like we have some areas that need extra training. Next time you’re... More

I have been staying at this particular Red Lion since it was the independent Thunderbird Inn, through at least 3 changes of corporate management (Red Lion has had some 'growing pains'). The positive features of this particular property are the very spacious rooms, the double bathrooms with twin sinks, and the excellent sound-proofing. It has rapid freeway access for either... More

I came here on business and was put up in a suite, which was huge. The property looked gloomy and rundown, and the decor was outdated. The wifi service was spotty at best. No elevators, so be prepared to lug heavy bags up stairs. It's close to the highway, which was convenient.
