Red Lion Eureka, Eureka

The hotel has great rooms, very nice and clean. The staff is very friendly and the check in was very speedy. The hotel has alot to offer, and great location.

the room was overall clean. There was no "do-not-disturb" sign in the room and the maid woke us up way to early. Otherwise, the hotel was OK and we enjoyed our dinner and breakfast at the hotel's restaurnt.

The only good thing I can say was the beds were great. The bathroom door did not close, the toilet didnt work, the bathtub drain would not close. The had workers unloading trucks outside until very late. The staff was rude. It appears that they were fixing the place up with new furnishing, but they forgot to fix the stuff that you really need, like the plumbing.

I made a reservation for 5 rooms at 5 days each and thought I should be treated accordingly, but: Day 1, Put in a room across from the elevator, ice machine, and soda machine. There were at least 40 other vacant rooms, why did they put me in this room, which was noisier than heck? Day 2, Returned to hotel at 6:00 PM to find my door left wide open. House keeping left door ajar on security latch. Day 3, Woke up at 4:30 AM to hear the upstairs A/C unit leaking water on my A/C unit and creating a loud tapping noise. Switched rooms at 5:00 AM. They comped me breakfast, gee thanks. Day 4, New room smelled like an ash tray. It probably hadn't been cleaned in over 1 month. Water would go from hot to cold in 20 seconds. Lesson: Never stay at Red Lion in again.

All things being equal my stay should have gotten 2 stars because of the fact that the "non-smoking" room we were given smelled like an ash tray when we got in. However, after airing it out, leaving the AC on all day, and some house keeping it was bearable. The front desk staff were super friendly and very helpful pointing towards local attractions and places to eat. If they can get the smoking/non-smoking thing figured out, this would be a great place to crash, espc. given the cheap price.

All the staff are very friendly. Free internet in the room is great. The room is clean and spacious. Bathroom is a bit old. Overall, the it is pretty good value.
