Room was clean and staff were friendly. Hotel is a little old and dated. When we went the pool and gym were closed, which disappointed our kids. Breakfast was a simple continental with waffles as the warm option. All in all I would say 3/5 for a 3 star hotel it is rated as and 4/5 if it were a 2 star hotel.

The property is in such a state of disrepair it is falling a part. Bathroom door did not shut, shower leaked, a damp smell in hallway and the room with drying fans blowing continuously. Paid to stay in an absolute dump! Red Lion and Orbitz should be ashamed!

This is a fairly old property that has been maintained adequately. The lobby and common areas and hallways were fairly dated and rundown, but I found the room to be very comfortable and clean. The bathroom was standard issue; nothing spectacular, but certainly clean. The staff was incredibly responsive, friendly and knowledgeable and in the end, I was just grateful to obtain a room during what was a very busy weekend due to a concert nearby.

Red Lion has been around a long time. The Ellensburg red lion needs some serious updating for the price they charge. Went down for breakfast. Coffee was more like Luke warm water. Waffle makers…no batter. We left. No go…
