Red Lion Hotel Boise Downtowner

We found the staff to be alright but we very disappointed and grossed out by how dirty the hallways were. How dirty the floor was in our room, the sheets had stains on them. The door on our room had not extra lock it was completely broken. It looked like many of the doors when walking down the hall had been broken into or kicked down quite honestly. Freaky experience, we might be overly sensitive and cautious but our gut told us to get out of there. Not good vibes.

Didn't want to pay for breakfast. Room furniture was not in good condition. VERY outdated. We had to pay $25 extra to check in 45 minutes early. We were exhausted from our drive. That was BS

The room was VERY DIRTY , there were homeless people in the stair wells congregating.

Dirty dirty dirty
Carpets are a mess!
Room floor was like sticking to shoes and boots
Needs more for a decent rating for breakfast

No breakfast served

How dirty it was

Horrific conditions, sticky floors, messy repairs, walls and every surface was dirty/sticky. Rooms without handles duct taped closed.
Honestly the worst hotel experience I have ever had.
There was sketchy people out and about. At one point cops were called on a couple at the front entrance and they ended up still there in the AM.
Unsafe, unsanitary and should not be a functioning hotel.

People smoking on balcony below smoke wafting into room, fan doesn't work in bathroom along with tub backing up and many lights also not working. Cleanliness not very well

More items for breakfast
Replace carpets
Make doors for room to where you do not have to shoulder block to get open
Re-train staff

Room was disgusting. Mold in bathroom, carpet in the halls was ripped up and taped with duct tape. The whole building stank of cigarettes.

Not very clean in the room

Floors in the room were sticky. Carpets around the hotel are filthy and disgusting. The floor we stayed on smelt like Indian food.

I stayed one night at the Red Lion Hotel in Boise and the experience was disappointing. The hotel was extremely low staffed , we had to wait about 1.5 hours just to check in, and then even longer before we could actually get into our room. The employees who were working did the best they could, and I genuinely appreciate their effort, but the staffing levels were clearly not enough to run the hotel properly. The hallway smelled like weed, and someone had ripped up part of the carpet, exposing mold on the wall behind it. Inside the room, the bathroom drains were clogged with wads of built‑up hair, and several electrical sockets didn’t work properly. On top of that, the TV remote only worked if you stood directly in front of the screen, which made using the TV frustrating. For the price and the name of the hotel, I expected a much cleaner and better‑maintained environment. The staff was kind, but the facility itself needs serious attention from management.

The room smelled like cigarette smoke and had cigarette burns in the drapes. There was water damage in the walls. The air handler fan was very noisy. While running the air everything in the room felt wet. There was no bathroom fan. The floor was sticky. The carpet in the hall to the room is loose and became a tripping hazard. The carpet in the restaurant/bar was duct taped. For being a Red Lion it was a very seedy place and appeared to be housing people. My room was double booked so we ended up not getting a room until after 10pm. The beds were old inner spring mattresses. The mini fridge froze everything in it. None of the ice machines on the first floor worked.
