• Loved it that they wrapped the blanket in sheets. Made the bed feel very clean.

“I was actually surprised at the level of comfort for the hotel. I didn't expect it to have such good lighting, two sinks, and such clean bedding for a two and a half star hotel.”

“Very fast check in, the parking was terrible, the room that we had was very nice, I did not like the restaurant at all. I would stay there again but go somewhere else to eat.”

• I could find it right away, and did not have a hassle in check in.
• Some construction going on.

• Memories from the first time I stayed there in 2004.
• Everything. This place has gone down hill fast!

“Boy what a difference 4 years makes! Under new ownership (poor new owners) this place is a mess. I stayed here 4 years ago and loved it but every year it gets a little worse. Since the demise of their airline hopper and larger scale out of Towners, this place has crashed and burned. It looks feels and smells like a motor court hotel in a low rent district. The rooms were hideous, the air wasn't working, the carpets were so nasty I would even walk on them without my shoes and the casino area really needs some revamping. The rates are not cheap for this class of hotel and I walked away feeling very cheated and sad. They don't even have entertainers anymore in the club room cabaret. I have property in Elko and drive a long way to see it twice a year. There are new hotels in town and they will be my salvation. Thumbs down Red Lion and shame on you for disappointing so many previous loyal customers. You can be old but still bring something to the table.”

• Location.
• Room was dingy and dirty.

“Location sells this hotel. Over the years the cleanliness and overall quality of the establishment has declined greatly.”

• Price.
• Service!

“We have tried this place a couple of times and found it to be less than the best it could be. The rooms are not really that clean. The front desk folks act though there is no tomorrow. One night the fire alarm went off about every half hour and they could not fix it. No apologies from them at all. Coffee shop service is slow at best and prices are not in line with typical casino coffee shops. What's really weird is that they are reluctant to open table games until a certain time, even though there are players waiting.”

• Spacious room, friendly staff.
• Exterior appearance.

“The hotel was great. Public areas were clean and well-appointed. The room was large, spacious, and comfortable. Parking is close to the rooms. The prices for food and drinks are reasonable. The hotel is convenient (across the street) to fast food, grocery, gasoline, and clothing if need be.”

“This is a very nice hotel located in an area of town that provides easy access to other casinos. The room and common Ares are kept neat and clean. The common restrooms are very neat and clean. The dinning was very comfortable and priced right for the quality of the food available.”
