"Overnight stay for 24 hour running race"
Room was fine. Shower great. Room was clean. Upon entry room was cold. Could not get heater working until contacting staff. No one came t room so assume they had to turn something on. Maintenance of heating system appeared bad. Lent was all around the blower. Certainly appeared by sight and smell that the air filter had not been changed in a long time. […] Room ratre was great for a Red Lion Inn but part of that was clearly due to being a older Inn and the maintenance already mentioned Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Needs Lots of Updates"
The hotel looks worse from the outside than the inside. They have tried to upgrade things but missed the mark, i.e. ... granite on the counters and tile on the walls in the bathroom but old faucets, etc for the showers that hardly work. The new(ish) carpet had stains, the grout in the bathroom was nasty. The doors are ancient. There is no elevator so […] luggage had to carried up the stairs. It could be nice but they need to invest more time in cleaning and a lot more money. Will not stay at a Red Lion again unless it is brand new. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Bright lights, cold water, no elevator."
The hotel is nice enough kind of dated. Our room faced the pool area which was closed for the season but they left the lights on so the room was lit up all night the black out drapes were no match for flood lights. Also the water for the shower was cold so I called the desk and they said they would check on it but we didn't here back so the next morning […] I called and said the valve was broken and showed us how to use it temporarily till he fixed it. That night it was fixed sort of it took us a minute to figure out it was backwards with the hot on the right side and cold on the left. The bed was comfortable and the room was nice enough. We were on the second floor and there is no elevator which is a problem with the luggage. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"not good..."
it's not a hotel, it's more like a motel(super 8 etc.# as soon as you go inside , the smell of something musty welcomes you. the room is small and half made when we got there. it's also loud. we can hear the barking of dogs from the other room# it's my fault for not reading the hotel website...)Genuine Expedia guest review
Response by Red Lion Hotel Kelso/Longview Thanks for taking the time to fill out a review for our Hotel. I’m sorry for the musty smell. We want our guests to be welcomed with a pleasant and clean smell when they arrive. I can tell you that we have recently had a company come in to add air fresheners throughout the hotel to give it a more clean smell. I also want to apologize for the room being half made up. This is not what we are all about and I hope you will return so we can show you the cleanliness and service you should have received the first time.

"Clean and no fuss"
We wanted to visit Mt St Helens and after a few B&Bs this hotel was perfect. It was clean, no fuss, spacious: exactly what we were looking for. It is outside of town but there is a mall around the corner where we were able to get surprisingly good food. The breakfast in the hotel is simple but surprisingly good.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"An ok hotel for the area....just ok"
This hotel was ok. It was the best in the area from what I was told. It wasn't dirty, no bed bugs. The staff was friendly, but the hotel in general (including the room) was just ok. You could see where it needed to be remodeled or where the bathroom needed more attention to failing wallpaper,etc. I would stay here again but only because the choices […] are limited in this area.

"Red Lion stay Kelso, Wa"
In general, the room was fine, it was clean and comfortable. We thought the breakfast was free, but it cost $4.95 if arrangements were not made in advance, not sure how that works, as we made our reservation on-line. The food was marginal at best, recommend that you go somewhere else for breakfast if not paid for with the room. There was a bachlorette […] party in a nearby room, they woke my wife up whooping and hollering at 2:30 am, and the man next door went out and told them to quiet down. Not sure if hotel management was contacted or not, but it did interrupt some sleep. My access key didn't work right, so I stopped at the main desk and the clerk reprogrammed the same key, with the same results, so I had to go back to the counter and get another new key made, which worked fine. One of the desk clerks was reading the paper everytime I walked by, but in general, the help was friendly and efficient, none of the problems mentioned in other reviews.

"run down two separate hotels put together with no elevator."
I would not recommend this hotel for comfort or handicap accessable. no elevator only stairs and it is two old hotel that are not connected to visit other people in the other end of the hotel. the only good thing is it is within walking distance to the little league baseball fields for tournaments.Made our reservations and ask to be next to my son they […] put us at opposite ends of the hotel we never seen each other only at the baseball games.I was not able to climb stairs and they put him upstairs and me down.It ia also next to the freeway heard trucks and trains all night.

This is a very standard beside-freeway hotel. Our room faced an inner courtyard and so there was no freeway noise - good. The decor of the hotel is jaded and run-down but the rooms were clean and reasonably spacious. The breakfast buffet was cheap and (just) adequate for the low price.Genuine Expedia guest review
