The only negative that was quickly fixed with a change of rooms was that the air conditioner unit was not usable. It had some weird plug in that wasn't for American outlets. Why this was? No clue, but I was able to get another room in minutes without any issues.

The hotel was conveniently located… clean… quiet…price not inflated due to local bike event that we have participated in for the last 25 years. Staff fixed the broken toilet quickly. We will return next year. Well done

The staff are fantastic. I had read some negative reviews but was pleased with our room. Could see how a bad review might happen from people without compassion. In the morning there was no one at the front desk. An hour later learned the person from night shift was staying on for another shift cuz the other staff was a no show. She was exhausted, but she was there. Another example, found the continental breakfast lacking items like sausage and eggs. Could have thought no one cared but learned that sometimes non guests come in and help themselves to the food… as in take it all. Apparently this happened the morning we showed up. The friendly staff made more food for us and we had a lovely chat.

They have lots of parking and the staff was helpful. The folks at the breakfast counter were nice. Some lights were not working in the room, second day the water was not hot in the morning. Free breakfast had scrambled eggs, waffles, sausages, country potatoes, juices.... I chose this place because I had something to do nearby. I saw lots of Seattle to Portland bicyclists on the second day

By far, this was the rudest staff at a motel I have ever encountered. No Ice on the 2nd floor, yet was told just to look harder by the vending machines. No vending machines either!! No elevator and no assistance for luggage. Employees smoking outside and cigarette butts litter. I was there 5 nights with NO housekeeping in site. Had to ask for towels after 3 days. Horrible experience!!

Terrible! I knew it wasn't going to be 5 star, but I'm shocked this is even part of Red Lion Hotels! I'd never stay here. The room smelled bad. The carpet had stains all over from who knows what. A couple lights didn't work, and the tub floor was grey. Worst of all, the wood door had previously been broken into by a crowbar. As a woman traveling with 2 boys, I felt completely unsafe. I ended up canceling. I will say, the front desk lady was cordial, even when I asked to cancel the reservation. I think she knew it was bad; she was just doing her job. Even though I booked this on Expedia, I did end up getting a full refund. Never again... and this makes me question all Red Lion properties in the future.

The property is run down. It appears that very little maintenance is being done, which is sad because this used to be a very nice hotel.

This is an old property. The carpeting throughout is filthy. The bar is only open Fri and Sat for 4 hours each day. The buffet breakfast is of minimal quality. The A/C in our room did not work so they switched us to another room. The A/C worked but the door latch didn't. The hallways reeked of exhaust. The rooms were clean. Before reserving ask yourself "Do I really need to stay in Kelso?"

Regrettable Stay

Refrigerator freezer frozen over so it wouldnt fully close. One plug in for the entire room. Broken entertainment center. Was told the lounge would be open from 5pm to 9pm and it never opened. For the price I would not go back. Priced for an upscale hotel and felt like a Motel 6

We lived in Kelso 45 years ago, so we know how old this hotel is. The rooms are okay and linens felt and seemed clean, but the overall appearance was old and in desperate need of renovation. There were lingering smells, especially at the entrance from the side parking lot. I actually thought I smelled gas one day. The lady at the front desk the two mornings we were there, June 22-23, was distant, did not greet me, did not smile. She was courteous but not welcoming.

Terrible experience!! We didn't receive the room we paid for. They said the picture I saw when selecting our room was just a random picture of somewhere in the hotel and they had no upgrades available. Everything was dark, dingy and worn down. Our rooms curtains were falling down, and there were multiple droplets of blood on the wall near our room. They "upgraded" us to the "premium" side (upgrades we were told they didn't have initially). The room was bigger, but we immediately noticed MORE blood on the wall near the mirror! We searched for other hotels, but because of the large event we were there for there was nothing available to fit our family within 40 minutes. The front desk apologized several times and moved our room again. We walked into room #3 and noticed 2 more drops near the mirror. We couldn't believe this was actually happening. Half the lights weren't working, so it wasn't as obvious to our younger children. All 3 rooms also had large stains on the carpet and chairs.The bed sheets and linens seemed clean, but we brought our own sheets and pillows based on pictures we saw of the hotel. We couldn't wait to get our family out of there. My youngest was pretty freaked out. We all were.
