Worse place ever.....we were assigned a room that seemed as though people had gotten busy on the bed and around the room! The front desk staff was rude and it wasn't until we called from the room and described how the room was found that they changed their attitude and they switched our room. There were fleas in the rooms or perhaps dustmites. I don't recommend this place! Spend the little bit of money extra and stay in one of the many newer sorounding hotels!!

The location is great is about 10 minutes walk to the riverfront park. The room is nice except for the bathroom that is a little too small. The service was great. The breakfast buffet wasn't the greatest.

I would not stay here again. My family booked two separate rooms and both of them had bugs in the bed under the sheets. We freaked out and switched rooms. Which were clean but we were sketched out. I think they might have been carpet beetles, but obviously no one had cleaned the beds. It was really bad. The only reason I am giving this a two is because the staff were really great.

I went to the Red Lion River Inn for training for my job. This place is awesome. The conference rooms are spacious and the customer service is top notch. I will definitely return when circumstances allow it.

We've stayed at this hotel numerous times. It always lives up to expectations. It's clean and quiet and a decent location. It's close to the trail that leads to riverfront park which is nice as you can walk right downtown if you wanted. The check in process usually has a bit of a wait here. It's a convenient hotel with fridge, microwave and TV in every room.

Have to say it was a bad expeience. Stayed there New Year's Eve. The lack of communication between the restaurant, bar and front desk was beyond awful. I had contacted all of them several times to confirm details about food availability, shuttle use because they all said the restaurant would be closed from 5 pm which didn't make sense being it was New Years. Our shuttle never showed to take us to dinner so we drove ourselves, rushed through dinner because at this point we were running late and then when we got into the bar for party we found a buffet and full menu available in restaurant. The staff was not helpful with any questions before our stay. The right hand had no idea what the left was doing. I got charged for 2 rooms instead of 1. There were 2 other couples with us that had to deal with all the mess that was created and so I would not recommend this hotel for planning a group function that involves restaurant/bar and hotel because the managers in the different areas obviously don't communicate with each other what is available at the time in each area. I haven't included everything that went wrong because it was a mess from check in to check out.

My wife and I had reservations at Clinkerdagers for Christmas this year. Unfortunately there was some type of water leak/flooding and they couldn't open. We were already there when we found out and needed to find some other place for dinner. Not knowing what was open and had seating available we ended up at the downtown Spokane River Front. They had a specific Christmas menu to choose from. The staff was very nice and did a good job but the food was, lackluster. It wasn't terrible but tasted like cafeteria food. It just wasn't the great dining experience we were anticipating from Clinkerdagers. If it were not a planned multi-hour dining experience and just dropping in for dinner it wouldn't have been as terrible, but even so was still overpriced cafe food. The soup was cold, the sides were lukewarm at best, and the main dish was "ok."

Red Lion River Inn was quick to get us a reservation, was clean, and in a good location. It took some time to check in, and the wifi was not great, but other than that we were happy with everything!

Pictures online look great but once we got past the lobby the place started to look very outdated and not maintained properly. Carpets look 20 years old and the paint in all the hallways is a little rough. Upon entering our room we noticed immediately that the bath tub looked dirty and the bath mat looked somewhat moldy on the edges. Upon looking out the window i noticed about 70,000 spider eggs all on the outsides of the window looking like something out of a halloween movie. Once we went to get into our bed for the night we noticed black little pieces of something all thru out the bedding. It was so bad we had to get new sheets. After arriving back at the room we noticed coffee stains all over the bedding that still smelled of coffee. This place needs to really step up thier cleaning and maintenance. Absolutely the last time we will stay here. Avoid at all costs.

My son got hurt really bad because of this piece on the back of a treadmill making a place for something to fall in between it and the tread. No one even cared I asked for a first aid kit and they told me to wait!! We travel alot when it's wrestling season using the exercise facilities often and I never even thought it could be so dangerous.My son lost five layers of skin on his hand and has to be seen by a plastic surgeon. Which extended our stay and they didn't even care we couldn't fly out until his follow up doctors visit because of his injury. We we're forced to relocate. Other than that the food is great and the location was extremely convenient not to mention beautiful. Hopefully this will help someone else not get hurt.

Really close to everything in downtown spokane. For the money it was a great deal. Everything was satisfactory. Not a super nice place and you can tell the building is older but the room was in good shape. Sitting on the patio at the bar for drinks was great. Happy hour pricing is decent. I would stay here again. On a side note there are no elevators for the second floor. If you are disabled or have lots of luggage you would be better off getting a room on the ground floor. They did offer help with the bags.

I was extremely disappointed with my stay at the Red Lion River Inn. My husband and I stayed here a little over a year ago and absolutely loved it! So when we needed a place to stay while we were in Spokane, without a second thought we knew we were going to stay here. Big mistake! We travel with our 2 dogs and this time an 11 week old newborn. (Obviously a bit stressful). Typically we stay at the La Quinta hotels because they do not charge for pets, they are always clean, friendly staff and the continental breakfast is a nice start to the day. When I checked in I asked for a room with the sliding glass doors because it is so much easier to take our dogs out, and I was told that they do not have those types of rooms. I get to our room and the pillows are filthy, the bed is broken, there are long black hairs in the bed, a hair clip on the lamp shade and the coffee pot looked as if it had never been cleaned. I went to the front desk and spoke with the employee who I had dealt with when I checked in. Her response was, well you wont be charged for the broken beds, if you bring the pillows back to me we will get you new ones. I asked if we could change rooms and she said we could not. Fast forward to the morning, I am obviously not using the coffee pot, so I go to the lobby for a cup of coffee. I did not know that they charge 10.95 for their breakfast buffet. (I will own that, because I didnt read the information about the hotel.) I suppose my "rose colored glasses" from my previous stay kept me from doing my homework on the hotel policies. I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone. As a matter of fact I would use this hotel as an example of how not to treat your guests. The lack of cleanliness and apathy of the employees is astonishing.

Pretty nice hotel, had 2 heated pools, room service, and breakfast. Any requests we had, they did, including needing duct tape to patch a pool toy. The a.c. in our room was weak though, and the quilts on the bed didn't really fit on us right. But other than that, fantastic stay!

It was absolutely beautiful, we had great service. Our room was upgraded upon arrival and we were allowed a late check out. We were completely satisfied and will be staying here again! :)

The hotel was very nice, went there to a conference and the staff was very polite and understanding. The lobby was nice and they had a tv they had a resturant and a bar as well, but I didn't eat there.

Nice spot right on the river walk, but older building that feels dated. They do offer bike rentals, conference center, and outdoor pools & recreation. Not a lot of amenities for free to guests, typicalfor Red Lion chain.

Had a meeting with a friend at the inn. Very very nice and clean establishment. Some homeless strolling around in the parking is the only reason I give it 4 stars. They did have security though who got the transients to leave. Would recommend to anyone.

The hotel was ok. The check in staff was very friendly. The room was nice. Our bathroom could have been cleaner. There was some dried blood on the toilet and hair on the wall in the shower. Other than that the hotel was fine.

This facility is in a lovely physical setting on the Spokane River. Staff are warm, welcoming and gracious to assist if problems arise. Beds are super comfy. Attached Ripples Restaurant service, menu, prices are excellent. Lobby coffee is to die for.

My star at read lion inn was alright the waight room was sup par and the swimming pool was not a place you could do laps in. However it was nice that they did provide us with a very nice Tennace court that almost made up for the lack of a complacentry breakfast. However the restaurant at the red lion is very nice.
