The Red Lion Hotel does well on the Front End - the service was excellent, the bar had a terrific selection of local beers on tap for a wonderful price, bar food was much better than expected. I d rate the front end a solid 4 of 5 stars. If they only put a bit more work on renovations I d rate it a bit higher. HOWEVER,The West tower elevator was worn and smelled like old socks. The 5th floor room was clean, bed was comfortable, ventilation worked but the bathroom worn. I d rate the lodging portion of the stay a modest 3 stars. I think with a little more attention to detail the hotel could be a solid 4 star establishment.
Would I stay there again? The answer is yes but I would know what to expect.
In life - if you tell someone exactly what you are giving them, then deliver just a little bit more, you will win their loyalty.
