We stayed at this hotel on the night of August 10, 2004. The hotel is further out than we thought, when we arrived we had a hard time finding parking. The lobby looks nice so we expected the rooms to be similar. Our room was on the ground floor down a narrow hallway. We were disappointed to see that it was very small and that the bed took up most of it. The furniture was very old and ugly. The thing that bothered me the most was that there were metal bars on the window - the kind you can't open in case of a fire. Then a guest in the hotel decided since his room was non-smoking he would smoke out in the hallway! The fumes came in under our door durning the night so we took the ratty bed spread and put it up against the bottom of the door. I couldn't wait to leave this place. My son and his family stayed at this hotel at the same time and they didn't like it either. I would call this place dumpy. The night before we stayed at the Red Lion Inn & Suites in Silverdale, Washington and we weren't happy with it either again nice lobby but the bathrooms in both of our rooms were stained with mold from water damage and the pool was so cold the kids couldn't swim for long. Next time I see a Red Lion Inn I am running in the other direction! Don't waste your money.

Management response from Jane Coates, Manager
(Management representative)
Oct 27, 2004
In business, it is important to have positive and
negative feed back from your customers. We
appreciate the job that Tripadvisor does. We do however feel compelled to reply to this review ,since it brings in question the integrity of our staff. The guest in question made a reservation for a non smoking room. Upon arrival this indivdual requested a smoking room. We were full that day and could not accomodate the change. We
advised the guest if they really would like a smoking room, we could move them tomorrow. The
guest said they would like to move. The Front Desk
clerk recorded this on the registration card and also
made the change in the Front Desk system. The next morning we started callling the guest' s room
to advise that their smoking room was available and they could move, no response. We tried several times but no one answered. We again were
a full house and had some one moving in to the
guest's non- smoking room. We had no alternative
but to move the guests items to the other room knowing they were advised of the change and had really wanted a smoking room. Our housekeeping Manager moved the guest's belongings. This indivdual has been with us for many years and is completely trustworthy. If he said everything was moved then nothing was left behind. The DVD was neither taken or left behind for another guest. Subsequently the undersigned and Hotel owner have tried to resolve the issue in the interest of good guest relations but the indivdual in question chose to proceed by writing a rather negative review about our Hotel and our staff.
