Moldy druggies

The facility is rundown and shabby. The paint is peeling throughout. Stickers cover scratches in the mirrors in the elevators. There is a smell of mold in the rooms. The parking garage had someone casing cars when I was there. The facility is surrounded by trash, homeless people, and druggies. The bed had a sag in the middle and the sheets were scratchy. I will never stay at this facility again.

Chose for walkable location near capital. Good food nearby. So much for the good… This place was rough. 1986 dorm furniture.stained. Chips in walls. Peeling paint in bathroom. Cracks in shower. Shower leaked and dripped. Bubbled pop corn ceiling from leaks. I arrived at 4:15,my room wasn't ready til 6pm. During the evening I went to my car and found a prowler casing cars. No security was present and homeless sleep along the side of the building. Loading dock and truck noise starts about 5:15 am. One ofthefront doors was not functioning. My room key failed. Brutal stay.

This property has had a new owner for yrs, if your going to buy a hotel that was once a great place to stay. But now seems quite run down, paint coming off room walls, plug in covers barely hanging on. Musty smelling, lobby that once looked great, looks quite boring now, etc

Conveniently located; reasonably priced; great staff. My only criticism is that the room could have been cleaned a little better; the bathtub was not clean; I found an (almost) empty sushi dinner box behind the table by the bed.

Red Lion Corporate should be alerted to the terrible condition of this property. It's an embarrassment to the Red Lion image to be sure. Carpets were stained and worn, the tub was peeling and the shower curtain was shredded, not all lights in the room worked, there was an icy draft coming through the window. Clearly despite all this, housekeeping and other folks here are doing the best they can. The linens were clean, and the breakfast was ok. The elevator was out of commission briefly during our stay. There are space heaters scattered around the lobby because there is some sort of issue with central heating. I feel badly for the folks who work there and wish they had a workplace they could take more pride in- but someone is holding back the resources to make this place nicer. The weekend we were there the place was entirely booked- so I'm not sure what the issue is.

Hotel was grand once. Now dated and in need of repair and update. Staff was courteous, room was clean. The historical photos on the lobby wall were beautiful and interesting.

Insecure building in a not-particularly-good part of town. Back door to the lobby unlocked (the door would not even close). Toliet in the room worked, barely. Sheets were the wrong size and we had to get a 2nd set for the 2nd (of two night's) stay. They did server "breakfast", after a fasion but the "dinning" area (looked like an old bar) was so cold all we could do is grab some food and coffee and head back to our room to eat. This actually is a very old, and poorly maintained, building with a "Red Lion" banner hung from the outside. Too bad they closed the old Red Lion (somewhat west of the Capitol Building) -- We stayed at the prior location several times -- it was nice .....

If you are looking for an affordable place to stay, this is a good option. Very centrally-located, this hotel had its day and is in dire need of a deep renovation. That being said, if you can live with dings in the walls and peeling paint, it is a fantastic value. The bed was comfortable, the temperature was comfortable, it was clean, and I got a good nights' sleep. My shower did have some temperature issues (hot was cold, cold was hot on the handle, and then the shower itself kept oscillating between the two temperatures which I informed the staff about when leaving). I even got a decent light breakfast on the way out and the coffee was good. I would stay here again.

Hotel needs a lot of work

Hotel was in a good location for walking to restaurants and the Washington Performing Arts Center but unfortunately has not been taken care of. The building was very run down throughout- all the furniture in the lobby and room was scuffed/damaged, stains on all the rugs/carpets, curtains missing hooks, piles of garbage (row boat, mattress, etc) in the parking lot. The room seemed clean- bedding and towel in good condition but they had tried to paint the bathtub with regular paint so it was peeling and did not seem usable.

Decent accommodations for a very rundown hotel

this hotel is very conveniently located to both the capital, and the Washington center for performing arts, a couple of restaurants, etc. However, it is quite rundown, dated, and the HVAC system is pretty wonky. For one night stay, it was perfectly fine for me. The front desk staff was very kind, responsive, and accommodating.
