“More of a Motel Than a Hotel”

We checked into this hotel around 9 PM after driving 12 hours from Washington, so we were really looking forward to settling in somewhere comfortable for the night. Unfortunately, the property was not what we expected. From the outside, it felt more like a motel than a hotel. While we were unloading our car, the guests next door had a very large dog that kept barking, and they were standing outside their room smoking. It made the arrival a little uncomfortable while we were trying to get our kids and our things inside. Once we got into the room, it had a strong “old motel” smell and felt quite dated overall. The price was relatively inexpensive, which likely explains the condition of the property. I stay at many different hotels and have stayed at Red Lion locations before, and this one unfortunately did not meet the same standard. The one positive was that the person at the front desk was very kind and helpful. Overall, this location just wasn’t a good fit for us, and we likely wouldn’t stay here again.

“Truck Stop Motel”

This motel is a truck stop motel, with a huge parking lot. The pool is in the parking lot, and the jacuzzi had no water in it. There is not much around the motel besides a treatment plant.

This motel is a truck stop motel, with a huge parking lot. The pool is in the parking lot, and the jacuzzi had no water in it. There is not much around the motel besides a treatment plant. There is no water view from most of the rooms, so they shouldn’t advertise that. The “water is across the boulevard, along with roadside businesses and warehouses. The TV didn’t work at all, and the staff acted like they’d heard that before, and were tired of being bothered by those questions. Housekeeping knocks on your door pretty loud at 9am, basically letting you know they’d like you up and out. If you have a chance to drive down the beautiful Oregon coast, and want to stay somewhere that will match the experience, I don’t recommend this Red Lion. If you’re looking for a quick stop, with easy access to your room from the parking lot, then this place might be fine for you.

“Clean but REALLY dated property.”

I was surprised by the poor condition of the property. It was in severe need of repair. The room was clean and front desk staff were friendly but very off-putting in appearance. I wouldn’t stay here again due to appearance only. I’m not sure the property seemed safe.
