http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Red_Lion_Hotel_Salt_Lake_Downtown/hid31988 TravelPost.com - Hotel reviews, information, and rates from thousands of websites http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Red_Lion_Hotel_Salt_Lake_Downtown/r898445 We needed two adjoining rooms and the staff spent the time to meet this need even though our first two nights were sold out. The location is close to freeway access and downtown, for our needs the location was perfect. The adjoining restaurant had an excellent and reasonably priced menu, with a great staff cooking and serving. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel was sold out the first two nights of our stay, but they went the extra mile to find two adjoining rooms. Our party of 5 included one senior and an infant so the adjoining rooms met our needs completely. We would choose to stay here again and again. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Red_Lion_Hotel_Salt_Lake_Downtown/r898445 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Red_Lion_Hotel_Salt_Lake_Downtown/r898446 Room assignment right next to elevator. Tell management to spend some money on renovating this property; the common areas need attention. Our room was right next to the elevator and was noisy. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Red_Lion_Hotel_Salt_Lake_Downtown/r898446 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Red_Lion_Hotel_Salt_Lake_Downtown/r898447 They let us check in early.The pool is outdoor, it's Salt Lake, we all know it gets cold! The hotel was nice and the staff was very friendly. They let us check in early and brought us anything we needed. The only down side was the cafe. It was not very good, and extremely expensive. I would not eat at the cafe again but I would stay at the hotel. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Red_Lion_Hotel_Salt_Lake_Downtown/r898447 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Red_Lion_Hotel_Salt_Lake_Downtown/r898448 Clean and friendly staff.Drafty windows allowed the cold air to flow in unchecked. The hotel has large windows in each outside room. The windows allowed cold air to flow through as if they were open. The floor area of the room was extremely cold even with the heater turned all the way up. In the summer the facility is fine. I would not recommend it during the winter months. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Red_Lion_Hotel_Salt_Lake_Downtown/r898448 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Red_Lion_Hotel_Salt_Lake_Downtown/r898449 the view from the room.Has a smell on the hallways. It was a good experience,I liked it, its pretty but it does need some improvement, It has the potential to be a beter Hotel, Its a nice building in a good location. Mre technology on it would be good, as the TVs. But bised that it is a good hotel. Thank you. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Red_Lion_Hotel_Salt_Lake_Downtown/r898449 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Red_Lion_Hotel_Salt_Lake_Downtown/r898450 It was close enough to downtown SLC.The windows whistled all night long. For being a Red Lion, it did not meet my expectations. It is older and lacks a great first impression. The driveway to the lobby is difficult to maneuver and the lobby area is not impressive. Our first room we were sent to was small and only had 1 bed, even though we had confirmed with the hotel earlier in the day that we were assigned a room with 2 queen beds. Our second room was much better, with a view and 2 queen beds, but the TV was very small and the window whistled all night long. The heating and cooling was difficult to manage. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Red_Lion_Hotel_Salt_Lake_Downtown/r898450 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Red_Lion_Hotel_Salt_Lake_Downtown/r898451 Out of date televisions/bathrooms needed remodeling or renovated. Front desk staff was very pleasant and helpful, pool is seasonal so if traveling with children keep this in mind. The bedding looked like it hadn't been washed in a while. (Thank goodness we always pack bedding for our children). http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Red_Lion_Hotel_Salt_Lake_Downtown/r898451 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Red_Lion_Hotel_Salt_Lake_Downtown/r898452 Location.Old and run down. This hotel was run down and tired looking. The staff was not real friendly or accommodating. The restaurant was way overpriced for the quality, neither one of us finished our meals. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Red_Lion_Hotel_Salt_Lake_Downtown/r898452 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Red_Lion_Hotel_Salt_Lake_Downtown/r898453 Free parking - storage for our mountain bikes.TV was 13 inches and had terrible color. Generally very good and convenient for us. Really glad for free parking, although the lot was dark at night. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Red_Lion_Hotel_Salt_Lake_Downtown/r898453 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Red_Lion_Hotel_Salt_Lake_Downtown/r898455 Nice,quiet andclean.Nothing.
