Unknowledgeable staff that could care less. The night person couldnt answer any of my questions and wasnt even trying to attempt to find the answer either. They had no blankets, internet was slow, tvs are ancient and dont work or have basic controllers, rooms smelled, shower water smelled like sewer water. Disappointing to say the least.

It was food refuse in the corners of the room upon arrival. The refrigerator had items in the freezer from a previous occupant. I was concerned about sitting in the upholstered chair because it was completely filthy. The dust ruffle of the bed had grease or something on it. A 1/4” red, bead from someone’s costume was on the floor which concern me about the floor, having not been vacuumed.
Filthy upholstery
Food waste  - fried chicken skin?
Filthy controls for air conditioning and heating system. Did not function well for cooling.

Definitely needs renovated. Old plumbing and bad maintenance. Hot tub was green. Pool was cold. First room’s sink leaked and appeared to have been previously repaired with duct tape instead of appropriate repair done. Internet is still spotty.

The only negative that was quickly fixed with a change of rooms was that the air conditioner unit was not usable. It had some weird plug in that wasn't for American outlets. Why this was? No clue, but I was able to get another room in minutes without any issues.

The staff are fantastic. I had read some negative reviews but was pleased with our room. Could see how a bad review might happen from people without compassion. In the morning there was no one at the front desk. An hour later learned the person from night shift was staying on for another shift cuz the other staff was a no show. She was exhausted, but she was there. Another example, found the continental breakfast lacking items like sausage and eggs. Could have thought no one cared but learned that sometimes non guests come in and help themselves to the food… as in take it all. Apparently this happened the morning we showed up. The friendly staff made more food for us and we had a lovely chat.

They have lots of parking and the staff was helpful. The folks at the breakfast counter were nice. Some lights were not working in the room, second day the water was not hot in the morning. Free breakfast had scrambled eggs, waffles, sausages, country potatoes, juices.... I chose this place because I had something to do nearby. I saw lots of Seattle to Portland bicyclists on the second day

By far, this was the rudest staff at a motel I have ever encountered. No Ice on the 2nd floor, yet was told just to look harder by the vending machines. No vending machines either!! No elevator and no assistance for luggage. Employees smoking outside and cigarette butts litter. I was there 5 nights with NO housekeeping in site. Had to ask for towels after 3 days. Horrible experience!!

Terrible! I knew it wasn't going to be 5 star, but I'm shocked this is even part of Red Lion Hotels! I'd never stay here. The room smelled bad. The carpet had stains all over from who knows what. A couple lights didn't work, and the tub floor was grey. Worst of all, the wood door had previously been broken into by a crowbar. As a woman traveling with 2 boys, I felt completely unsafe. I ended up canceling. I will say, the front desk lady was cordial, even when I asked to cancel the reservation. I think she knew it was bad; she was just doing her job. Even though I booked this on Expedia, I did end up getting a full refund. Never again... and this makes me question all Red Lion properties in the future.

This is an old property. The carpeting throughout is filthy. The bar is only open Fri and Sat for 4 hours each day. The buffet breakfast is of minimal quality. The A/C in our room did not work so they switched us to another room. The A/C worked but the door latch didn't. The hallways reeked of exhaust. The rooms were clean. Before reserving ask yourself "Do I really need to stay in Kelso?"

We lived in Kelso 45 years ago, so we know how old this hotel is. The rooms are okay and linens felt and seemed clean, but the overall appearance was old and in desperate need of renovation. There were lingering smells, especially at the entrance from the side parking lot. I actually thought I smelled gas one day. The lady at the front desk the two mornings we were there, June 22-23, was distant, did not greet me, did not smile. She was courteous but not welcoming.
