As others have stated, this place is badly in need of an update. The dingy bathtub looked like one of those budget highway hideaways from somewhere in the Midwest—peeling plastic. The stairwells were dimly lit and felt very dodgy. Smelled musty. You get what you pay for, as they say.

First, we had to change rooms because the television wasn't working properly, the remote was faulty. Then the new room had a lamp i couldnt turn off without unplugging from the wall and there was no hot water.

Chose for walkable location near capital. Good food nearby. So much for the good… This place was rough. 1986 dorm furniture.stained. Chips in walls. Peeling paint in bathroom. Cracks in shower. Shower leaked and dripped. Bubbled pop corn ceiling from leaks. I arrived at 4:15,my room wasn't ready til 6pm. During the evening I went to my car and found a prowler casing cars. No security was present and homeless sleep along the side of the building. Loading dock and truck noise starts about 5:15 am. One ofthefront doors was not functioning. My room key failed. Brutal stay.

This property has had a new owner for yrs, if your going to buy a hotel that was once a great place to stay. But now seems quite run down, paint coming off room walls, plug in covers barely hanging on. Musty smelling, lobby that once looked great, looks quite boring now, etc

Conveniently located; reasonably priced; great staff. My only criticism is that the room could have been cleaned a little better; the bathtub was not clean; I found an (almost) empty sushi dinner box behind the table by the bed.

Insecure building in a not-particularly-good part of town. Back door to the lobby unlocked (the door would not even close). Toliet in the room worked, barely. Sheets were the wrong size and we had to get a 2nd set for the 2nd (of two night's) stay. They did server "breakfast", after a fasion but the "dinning" area (looked like an old bar) was so cold all we could do is grab some food and coffee and head back to our room to eat. This actually is a very old, and poorly maintained, building with a "Red Lion" banner hung from the outside. Too bad they closed the old Red Lion (somewhat west of the Capitol Building) -- We stayed at the prior location several times -- it was nice .....

If you are looking for an affordable place to stay, this is a good option. Very centrally-located, this hotel had its day and is in dire need of a deep renovation. That being said, if you can live with dings in the walls and peeling paint, it is a fantastic value. The bed was comfortable, the temperature was comfortable, it was clean, and I got a good nights' sleep. My shower did have some temperature issues (hot was cold, cold was hot on the handle, and then the shower itself kept oscillating between the two temperatures which I informed the staff about when leaving). I even got a decent light breakfast on the way out and the coffee was good. I would stay here again.

I would love to give them better reviews but the floors were torn up and the tubs were falling apart some of them had no walls or missing parts on the wall as well as chunks missing out of the bottom of the tub after being moved and the next room having the same problem, It was better to just wait it out.
