What a Disappointment!!!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 9/8/04
We book 15 rooms two months in advance, when we arrived, more then half the roms were in need of repair or maintance, some of our group, had to change rooms due to the overbaring roar of the freight train, that ran randomly during the day or night, the pool was never cleaned and the jacuzzi was just above warm,( perfect if your a bacteria) the night staff seemed to not have time or concern for our room concerns,however the beds were comfortable, but if I spend 79 dollars plus tax, that's the least I expect, from the front The motel looks, as its namesake would have it, the lobby fit's its community, but the broken legs of the piano hidden underneath the main stair case, only began to tell the story, the moss or vinery they tore down has left it's history along many of the exterior walls, making them appear to have black dust entangled cobb web,s along the cracked fake pablo white walls, some of the rooms that cost 79 dollars had only showers, our room had a king size bed, a small desk w/small chair and a small padded arm chair in the corner, cheap looking night lamps, and because the room was so large the lack of furniture made this feel like a small road side motel in the middle of nowhere tring to look like a 4 star inn, the wall paper was peeling alond the baseboards, the bathroom faucet, made a loud hiss when you turn the water on or off, the ring around the tub was permament, but the caulking wasn't the mold looked like it could have been, and around the light housing over the tub, the ceiling was peeling and some of the putty or whatever it was would start to fall on you if you took a long shower.
Our group made routine trips to the desk to have our key cards reprogramed,at the worst times you would get locked out of your room. two months before we arrived, we asked for a late check out due to our event there, we were told 3 pm, on that day we were told 1 oclock was the latest, and it didn't matter what we had been told, Wenatchee, was fun and the weather was great, but we could have stayed at the little cheap motel down the street for 40 bucks a night and got better and nicer stay, No I nor our group will ever try to stay, at the Wenatchee (dead)red Lion again, and we will really check out,any other Lions as well
