Red Lion Inn & Suites

Well I wonder about the beefs. The place gave us who we needed. And more. Two rooms, two tvs, and more. The desk swapped rooms for us easily when one cable channel had a problem. Slip Clean wonderful. The breakfast seem a bit lacking choice for me. But
With beyond bread around the corner I di not care
Met our needs plus plus

Nice hotel, helpful staff and great breakfast. We got there at night and stayed for 1 night. It was comfortable, in a great location and quite.

The prices are good here at $ 65 compared to other listings we viewed. The staff was friendly and helpful but we did find some shortcomings others should know about. When I called I was told exercise equipment was available but never mentioned that it was in an adjacent commercial center and I would need to walk in 32 degree temperature to get to it. We were awakened every morning at 6am by a garbage truck and our alarm clock was programmed to go off every 30 minutes between 5:30am to 6:30am. The breakfast was mediocre at best. The bed and pillows in no way compare to other places we have stayed at a slightly higher cost. Years ago I stayed at a Red Loin Inn of much higher quality. I would not return to this one unless there were no options.

Very disappointed with my two night stay. :-(The price seemed reasonable (about $ 67 per night) but here you get what you pay for. The website made the property look so good; but it was like putting lipstick on a pig… in the end it’s still a pig. Had trouble with the shower water temp. Went from lukewarm to freezing. Freezing for about 5 min and then warmed up again. Very strange. Walked into two room suite with queen-​sized beds crammed into the first room and the «sitting area» was an odd collection of two stained upholstered chairs and a chair from a dining set and a desk with a ridiculously high and wobbly task chair. There was a filthy fan that circulated air between the two rooms that was always on. The bathroom fan was very loud and didn’t get up to a decent operating speed. Either there was little wall insulation or several of the guest in adjoining rooms were abnormally loud well into the wee hours of the night. Bed was fairly comfortable but felt like the head was higher than the feet. Woke up congested and found a dog treat on the carpet (not sure where it came from) and tucked away under a chair was a dog toy with dog treats in it. I GOT A DOG-​FRIENDLY ROOM? No doubt the reason for my congestion. The breakfast was so-​so. Very hard-​working breakfast attendant. Scrambled eggs, sausage, potatoes, biscuits and gravy, waffle, breads, pastries, yogurt, oatmeal packets, coffee, tea, hot choc, hot and cold water. Can’t complain about this free breakfast. If I had it to do all over again I would pay more and stay at one of the many resorts the area has to offer.

I honestly have nothing nice to say about this place, its a complete outdated dump. The lamps hasve two bulbs and only one of the bulbs has a shade over it. The bathroom sink looks ratchet, all in all a dump.
Also — completely ironic that the two super negative reviews are not recommended.

It was 108 degrees outside, when we arrived at 4PM on a Friday. Coming from San Diego, where it was a high of 78 this was hard to adjust to. Check in was met with bottles of water, cookies and a fast check in process. Testing the staff I asked if I could pay for my room with a debit card but put the security hold on a credit card (also to free up funds for my vacation). No problem at all.
Went to the room, where the 108 degrees outside now felt like we were on the sun. Walked in, and the AC was on and set to 72. Obviously the hotel knows how hot it is, and having never had a hotel leave the AC on before you got there this was an amazing surprise.
The room was in good shape, the bed had a mattress topper that made it really soft. We had the pool side suite, with the kitchen. It was a full fridge, freezer, and a electric stove top. The only downfall of this set up was they put a tiny trash can under the sink. This would not be a huge issue normally, but for us it was. A few cans of soda and bottled water would fill it. We had to set plastic bags of trash next to it and leave it out. But maid service emptied the trash and took our additional trash. Kudos.
The soaps and shampoos provided had an amazing scent and did not dry out my skin. The bathroom tub was big enough for me to fully stretch out (6 feet tall). The shower head had multiple settings to choose from. Maid service did not waste products, instead of changing TP rolls every day they simply added an unopen roll ont op of the sink.
Hotel provides a happy hour, which was disappointing. You are limited to two drinks, soda, beer and wine. They don’t trust you to get your own drink, they have a staff member standing around making sure you don’t touch the juice (as it is only for breakfast) and cutting you off after your two drinks. I mention this, because I stayed at a Hilton a few times where you were on the honor system to not over drink and save some for others. Some trust in this aspect would have been nice. The food consisted of pigs in a blanket, and salad. Not much to choose from.
Breakfast was good. cereal, Muffins, Waffles, Eggs, Bacon. This time you can have juice.
The hotel charges a $ 5/​day resort fee. Which I understand, but take issue with for a small reason. When we checked in we were told the pool was closed until the next morning. So I was basically charged $ 5 for a happy hour, since I checked in after breakfast and the pool was closed. Wish they would have discounted something for that reason.
Over all I loved the hotel and the stay, would return. Took my fiancé and service dog with me. They gave no hassle at all to having a service dog. Would recommend to people on family vacation, romantic get always and people with disabilities, as there is also an elevator on the property

Loved it! Very friendly, helpful staff, great happy hour by pool, super clean rooms and reception area with fresh fruit and cookies available, most comfortable bed imaginable, beautiful pool area, great natural soaps and shampoos made in Australia. My a/​c didn’t work very well and when I mentioned it to the front desk, they had a brand new one installed within 20 minutes!
Couldn’t have been any better! The Scottsdale location is NOT good, and apparently owned by someone else.

Well very disappointed! It’s 100 degrees outside and the pool and spa are green! To top it off the refrigerator in the room is completely iced over and not working. I would not recommend this place to anyone. What a dump.

I stayed at the Red Lion because a friend of mine was getting married down the road and supposedly the Red Lion works in conjunction with her wedding venue, Reflections at the Buttes. The hotel room itself was mediocre, pretty standard, although there was trash and empty Gatorade bottles underneath the bed that were not mine, alluding to the idea that housekeeping doesn’t do a thorough job. However, my main issue with this hotel was that I was attending my friend’s wedding and should have received a discounted rate, and because I reserved my room online at
they refused to honor the rate I should have received. When I tried discussing it with the front desk manger she had no costumer service and instead she had a foul attitude. The woman from the accounting department whom I spoke to continued to interrupt me. The accounting department said she was unable to reverse any charges made… I’ve never heard of such a policy, especially if a costumer, such as myself, was overcharged. I suppose it’s what to be expected because I believe this hotel normally appeals to a certain crowd, eg people climbing over the pool wall with bottles of liquor around 3am to sneak into the pool/​jacuzzi, which I witnessed. Wouldn’t recommend this hotel. Period.

I was there for a wedding and I rented one room and my dad rented 3 rooms, plus all our relatives from Phoenix rented rooms and a lot of the wedding party stayed there. I’m just trying to make a point that we all spent a lot of money. The wedding planner had arranged for us take the shuttle from the hotel to the venue. The shuttle was supposed to leave every half according to the invitations and the bride. However when we asked the clerks who were both very unaccommodating told us the shuttle leaves every half hour, this was at 3:30 and we had to take pictures at 415, well the desk clerk told us that the shuttle wasn’t leaving there until 430. A person from the wedding was there and told me that the shuttle never left on the 330 time or 430 or 530 so why couldn’t he have taken us at 4:00. They wouldn’t even try to work with us, so we had to drive to the venue and then have a couple of people bring the cars back after the wedding (during happy hour) and then take the shuttle back. Such bad customer service. I also was in a cast and they didn’t even offer a handicapped room even though I was in a wheelchair. Never again will we go there or suggest this place. Plus my mom hated the small square pillows, she also left her corsage in the refrigerator there and they could of given a courtesy call to let her know.

Checked in late at night on a cross country business trip. I came in to find a spotless, fresh, and asthetically pleasing suite. Price was very reasonable for the quality of hotel which I would rank as a solid 3 star hotel. Im very meticulous about dust, checking behind paintings on top of mirrors and I was satisfied with the job the cleaning staff had done. There is a heated pool, jacuzi, putting green. There is a free breakfast in the morning that I would give a ³⁄₅ too but that isn’t my biggest priority when travelling. Staff was friendly and attentive although after about 1am the front desk attendant was not allowed to access the housekeeping closet so if you have special needs try to book earlier. Bed was incredibly comfortable and clean (no ugly comfortors either!). Overall a five star experience at a two star price.

I’ve stayed at a few Red Lion Inn & Suites, typically updated with nicely appointed rooms so expected this one to be similar. The front desk is attentive and helpful, they have a nice breakfast spread in the dining area, and they have a nice pool with a nice set of rooms facing the courtyard with the pool. We got a room on the end of the building, facing the north and it was a fine place for the night. The room was a little dated but comfortable enough for the night. I guess this building is just a bit of an older one. Otherwise it was a pleasant night before heading off to see Biosphere 2.

Our King suite pool view room actually was a dark hallway view room located next to the laundry room that was open until 11:00 PM. I had to return to the front desk to ask for a room change and was advised that they had no other pool view rooms available, so much for having a reservation. To make matters worst there was no manager on duty so unless we wanted to look for another hotel after a 7 hour drive we were stuck.
So we stayed and headed down to the «heated pool» well the pool was in disrepair and had no heat and was too cold to swim in. We than headed to the hot tub and found that to be over chlorinated and too hot to enter. While we were down there checking out the pool there were intoxicated guys running around the pool area taking advantage of the hotels 2 free drink policy at happy hour, maybe they should have thought about having security on duty.
So we returned to our room to settle in for the night, although the bed was comfortable the noise of people running down the hallway and the pool area made sleep difficult until after 11:00 PM.
The only thing remaining was to take advantage of their breakfast included in room costt offer. The breakfast is served buffet style and all we could say is the breakfast at IHOP was good. Thats where we headed after finding 80% of the food trays empty and the ones that weren’t were cold. In fact, we watched a hotel guest empty a garbage can and replace the bag as he stated he“felt sorry for the lone employee they had running the breakfast”.
By the way, there was not a manger on duty the next morning when we checked out and we are still waiting for a phone call. i guess I should have left a quarter for the phone call.

Priced right
Clean room.
Comfortable beds.
Beautiful courtyard with palms, grass, sparkling pool, and a hot tub (that was broken we we were there :(
Breakfast was much better than a similar priced hotel. Cheese omlette, bacon, potatoes, cereal, apples + oranges, yogurt and the like. Clean breakfast area with tables and helpful attendant. A nice surprise.
