Red Lion Hotel Kelso Longview

The room was very unclean, and if you have allergies, this is the worst place for you. My husband first cleaned the heater filter, which was covered in dust, though he didn’t get a photo. The bathroom air intake was just as bad, and the microwave hadn’t been wiped down. The bed looked like it had been flipped because there was a pool of blood or something on it. At 8am, we went for breakfast and found two homeless people had taken several plates of food, leaving nothing for the other guests. We’ll never stay here again.

The lobby looked run down and smelled old and musty as soon as we walked in. Don’t be fooled by the photos of the few renovated rooms. We were put in one of them during the renovation, and the wallpaper had a brown seam along the top where it met the ceiling. It looked like they’d just slapped it up to make the place look nicer. The room also had a terrible glue smell, so we checked in and then checked out immediately. Once we saw spiders all over the room, it was clear this wasn’t a clean place to sleep. They refused to give us a refund. It looked like a landlord special house flip.

The pictures were very misleading. Our room smelled strongly of carpet glue, and in the ten minutes we were there, four big spiders came out from behind the bed. We checked out right after checking in, but they refused to refund us. I wouldn’t waste your time here.

The rooms smelled of cigarette smoke and didn’t look very clean, so we ended up staying at another hotel. At the front desk, the woman wasn’t there when I came in, and her boyfriend was hanging out in the lobby. She first offered a room different from the one I’d booked, then said I’d have to pay more to get what I’d already paid for. Terrible front desk experience.
