We booked and paid for a handicapped room with a King-sized bed on Expedia the night before our stay. When we got there, they didn't have any of these rooms available. They blamed Expedia for advertising a room that wasn't available and suggested I call Expedia. Not satisfied with their response. They should take responsibility for the goof-up. I won't be staying at this Red Lion, nor any of their others,

This property was a MOTEL. All of the rooms were only accessible from the parking lot. The online photos do not show the actual "hotel" only the lobby and the rooms. The dining room listed on the website was closed. The room was clean and once the heat was turned up the musty smell went away. Good value for the price.

I had stayed at this Red Lion several years ago. There was a restaurant and a night club with a comedy show. This time there was no restaurant or night club. In the morning I went for my free breakfast. I was told that the breakfast bags were gone when I got there at 7:30 am. I commented on this and was told that the bags had not been delivered for three weeks. Would I stay again. Probably, it was clean and staff was good. I was just disappointed in the changes.

Did not honor third-party reservation
They did not honor the reservation. They put us in their cheapest room and did not refund the difference. We reserved a king size bed and we were given a queen size bed. They said it was because we had a dog. I made the reservation for a dog friendly room with a king size bed. If they are not going to honor a third-party reservation then they should not take them. We were very disappointed. The staff was friendly but not apologetic or willing to work with us.

Thank you so much for the feedback. We're sorry to hear that you didn't have a good experience with us overall and that our accommodations failed to impress you. While we always do our best to honor room preference requests made through third-party sites, this is dependent on availability on the day of check-in. Should you have any billing inquiries regarding your stay, please reach out to the third-party site you booked with, as they will be the best ones to assist you. We hope you will consider giving us another chance to impress you in the future; we know that we can change your perceptions.

Upon arrival at check in time of 3pm we were told our room was not ready as it was still dirty and being cleaned. We had to wait another 20mins, which was interesting as there were hardly any other guests noted as the parking lot was practically empty & the hotel looked almost vacant. Upon day of departure we went out to breakfast but had taken our belongings with us but left our refrigerated food items stored in the in room fridge. Upon our return at 10am our room was already being cleaned and all our food had been tossed in the trash. They assumed we had “checked out”, as there were not personal belongings present. It is ironic we couldn’t check in due to room being dirty but yet we hadn’t formally checked out and our room was already being cleaned. We told the desk staff not a good process to just assume we checked out. They need to implement some process whereby maybe the guests should leave their key cards in the room so they know whether or not guests have checked out or not. Next time lesson learned for us, to possibly leave the Do Not Disturb sign posted so our room will remain ours until we actually check out.

The shower didn’t work. We were blamed for not knowing the night before we showered. Our fault for wanting to shower in the morning? The toilet would consistently bring stuff back up after being flushed. Staff couldn’t locate manager. No radios? No cell phones? The manager I did speak with had no authority to give a refund. In the end they credited me $25. Literally all we need from a hotel room is to sleep, shower and use the toilet. 1/3 (the beds) functioning with 5 people was no fun. $185 for the night divided by 5 guests is $37 each for the functioning room. Each guest received a $12 experience. I think they owe me at least another $100. Last time I stay at a Red Lion. The Wyndham in Newport was around the same price our next night. It was leaps and bounds better than the Red Lion in Coos Bay.

The room was nice, and the location quiet. The shower head was low (it's an older hotel), however, and the maid never serviced our room (we stayed 2 nights). Also, the man working at the counter was slightly rude after my key didn't work for the third time, practically accusing me of de-magnetizing it. Overall a pleasant stay though.

Lots of Pros. The room was huge! The shower pressure was wonderful and like most logdings not made for tall people in mind. Staff was very friendly and pleasent. Some netural observations. The room wasn't dirty but could use some updates. There is a entrance off the main road, but google showed the less traffic way in and out. That road wasnt what i'd call on obvious road, but was a helpful way to get in and out. Bteakfast was prebagged and ready to go! Simple packaged danish and granola bar fair with a bottle of water. I did like this as I'm always the one tasked with grabbing breakfast and bagged is much easier to carry, added plus (and I'm sure this is the reason for bagging) COVID safe. The con. It's a big one and the main reason for the less stars. The beds are very uncomfortable. Both the bed i used and the other bed used by my companion had us up in the middle of the night with aches. Now the pillows were wonderful.

A Big No On The Promised Breakfast
Was told breakfast would be served from 6am - 10am which was a selling point for our stay. The morning of check out was cold and rainy on a Sunday morning where hotel was nowhere near capacity. Got up for breakfast and was told by the receptionist that breakfast would not be served because the truck did not come in. In a nutshell i was deceived and lied to and of course there was no offered attempt from the hotel to make this situation right. Stay away from this place.
