Riverside Residences, Seattle

I stayed here in June 2007 on my way to Sitka, AK and had a very good night's rest. The front desk staff was terrific even though I had arrived late. Location was a bit of a problem. Quite a drive from the airport, and WATCH OUT: there are two Red Lion hotels near the Seattle airport. Great price from priceline. Overall, it fit my needs just fine.

They are currently remodeling, and I will give them that.........However, the bathroom was one of the worst I've ever been in. When you pay $100 a night, the least you could get would be for the bathroom light to turn on and stay on. The flourecent bulb kept flickering and wouldn't stay on. When it did stay on I would prefer it to turn back off. Paint was peeling from all parts of the bathroom. The ceiling was disgusting. The best part about the rooms was the matress. Very comfortable. I wish I had one like it at home

I was with a large group with a total of 13 rooms. Half of our group left after two days. The door locks would not open and the front desk staff was rude. With that said, my stay was nice. Rooms are small but clean and the bathrooms are well stocked. Easy freeway access but in an industy area.

I used this hotel as it was the pick up point for the trip I was starting. I had to wait over an hour for the shuttle to pick me up from the airport, after phoning twice, and being told it would be with me within half an hour. There was not much room to move in the bathroom, and I found a few small insects crawling over the floor. On my return even though my room was pre booked, I had to wait nearly two hours for my room, as they were not ready due to problems with the cleaning staff. The main restuarant was also closed for redecorating, so unless you had your own transport, you would need to catch the bus into town.

Hotel is older but clean. Staff was friendly, parking was free and since we were leaving for a vacation in Mexico, long term perking was provided at a reasonable rate with airport shuttle both ways.

The hotel was old and worn, and in great need of a face lift. The bar was closed for "remodeling," even though there was no evidence of work being done. Staff were not very helpful. The only newspaper available in the lobby was USA Today, and no paper was available on Sunday morning. The location was in an industrial district, and women are apt to feel unsafe as the exterior security door was broken and did not require a guest card to open.
