Kael, 14-night trip

4/10 Fair

Reserved a room with 2 queen beds, they gave us a room with 2 double beds. Lots of people running through the halls, screaming, and banging in doors. Entire hotel is completely outdated

Karen, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location for your money

Very nice lobby. Fast desk check-in and helpful with info. I go on-foot, so being walking distance to downtown and the Greenbelt is a must. Great stay, so thank you, Red Lion!
Janice, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Great location

Great location - we could walk to downtown. AC was broken. Sliding door to balcony did not lock (did not feel safe). Broken sink faucet in bathroom (and obvious it had been broken for a long time). Thought they might offer me breakfast ticket for inconveniences (they didn't). Staff was friendly and constantly apologized. Room was clean (maid service every 3rd day). I would stay there again.
Anne, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Well....The name Red Lion
Sonya, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We enjoyed our stay. Walking distance to downtown!
Kirsten, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The bed was just ok. The coffee maker had a small cord and we couldn't plug it in anywhere in the room.
Suzann, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Updates needed

The hotel was VERY dated, dirty, and in desperate need of repairs. The carpet in the hallways were duct taped together, AC did not work properly, chairs in the room had visible stains and cracks across the leather, the floor turned the bottom of our socks black, spider webs were across all windows. Good news: bed was decent, no bugs, water pressure in shower was great, room was quiet.
Michael, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Old and run down hotel - sad

Weather is old and run down. We saw food left outside people's doors and used towels on the hallway floors that never got picked up. Pool looked questionable, so we didn't use it. Check in said there would be breakfast at 6am, but there was zero breakfast. Shower was either super hot or super cold. TV was only highlight for our kids. Will not stay here again.
Ken, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Good price and friendly staff

Beds were great and front desk very helpful but the photos on Hotels.com and real life are not even close.
Guy, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Red Lion Boise

The hotel itself was ok. Dated but not terrible. The beds were comfy and had a nice big bathroom. But the ac did not work well and it was really warm out. The breakfast was almost non existent and you had to pay for it. We asked for housekeeping like we were told but the room did not get cleaned.
Jennifer, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Would not recommend

I arrived to check in for my fully pre paid reservation only to be told that they had somehow over booked the hotel, and that there was no room available. No one bothered to call to tell me that in advance, so I had to find another place to stay late at night.

10/10 Exceptional

it was nice place
JUNE, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Disappointed

The service was great but the property is in poor condition. Stayed there around Covid time period and just figured repairs and updates were just delayed. But I was was disappointed that it was the same.
Daniel, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Polite and courteous staff

Nice staff! all in all it was good. The faucet dripped in the bathroom sink by the time we left it was a steady drip. we had a lightbulb out above the sink. The bed was very comfortable.
3-night trip

6/10 Good

Room was barely clean, wallpaper was coming off in the halls, pool water was green. Hot tub jets did not work.
