Great location & Wallet Friendly

I checked out several hotels in preparation for our trip to Seattle. I finally chose the Red Lion based on location, price and the great reviews it received. We were not disappointed! The staff was friendly and helpful the monorail was just down the street to go to the Space Needle. The Fish Market was just a few blocks away also! Definitely alot better than paying those hefty prices alot of the other hotels were asking for!

Peace

It was a great vacation at an excellent location! The staff was so friendly(front desk, restaurant and housekeeping). I will visit again. It is located where you can catch light monorail, seattle monorail, and taxi in front if you don't have a car. The parking is kind of pricey but all downtown parking was. It was walking distance from Pikes Places market and shopping. I really enjoyed my stay and ready for another vacation.

Seahawks roost.

Spent one night here with my son after the Seahawks/Vikings game. Nice hotel, centrally located downtown, close to shopping and good eats, and within walking distance of Pikes Place market. Room (two queens)was clean and comfortable with flat screen TV but no coffeemaker, microwave or fridge. Parking is painful. $32.00 overnight.

Great Time at the Red Lion

My sister and I were very happy with our stay at The Red Lion on Fifth Ave. We were checked in promptly and there was delicious cold water with strawberry cucumber essence at the front desk for us to enjoy. The room was big and very comfortable and clean. The location was great seeing as though we went to The Showbox for a concernt and it was extremely convenient ! Great trip over all !
