Red Lion should be Red Tape Lion
Corporate policy ties up the deposit entirely to long. Wouldn't extend my stay for a day stating 'because my stay was a 3rd party reservation " I couldn't pay cash for an additional night. Stayed 10-02-2024 as of 10-12-2024 still no return of my deposit.

We have been to this property twice this month. We attended concerts at the Fox Theater downtown. This is a great location and there is a Carl's Jr. next door. Easy pick up for Lyft drivers. The rooms are good, nice big TV's and we felt safe. The back of the building rooms are really quiet. away from the Fwy. The bathroom is good. Water pressure is decent. The bed was super comfortable. It's good for a nights sleep.This is not the Marriott and if that's what you are used to than you will not be happy. If you usually stay in Rodeway Inn this is a nice upgrade. I have stayed in both. You can tell they are trying to make this a nice hotel.

Needs a Deep Odor Clean
Very disappointing, very different as the pictures advertised. Although, it looks like is been renewed, the odor of smoking and marijuana was very strong in the room almost to be unbearable. If almost drove back to Phoenix, but it was late night and I already had paid for the hotel, otherwise I would it have left.
