“Excellent value on priceline”

Booked through priceline at $45. Red Lion hotels tend to participate on priceline with good prices, so when I'm in "Red Lion country" I always look to see which towns have Red Lions and then try to book them on priceline.

Like most Red Lions I've stayed in recently, this is an older hotel (really a motel) that has been nicely renovated. The rooms almost reach Marriott or Hilton quality -- decent furnishings, great beds (like the fancy chains, way too many pillows!), fancy toiletries, etc. Plus you get free wifi. I doubt I'd be as happy paying full price, but you couldn't ask for more at priceline rates.

BTW, Butterburr's is a good inexpensive local breakfast/lunch place about 5 minutes from the hotel.

“Refurnished, redone...a better place now.”

This hotel is the only one listed for Priceline, so our $53 bid got us a nice room. It has been redecorated, since it was not as bad as previous posts. Each room had 2 phones, a dream machine alarm clock (check to make sure it isn't already set for you!) a plain chair with wheels for the desk and a cushioned chair in the corner, 2 floor lamps and nightstand lamp, coffee maker and TV in armoire, four pillows per bed, and a pillowtop queen bed with the thick mattresses.
In the bathroom there was a contoured shower curtain rod with a large shower head (Holiday Inn style) and amenities made by "Bio"... shampoo, conditioner, lotion and 2 soaps and a shower cap.
Both pools are indoor - one was too cold and the other too hot.

The colors are a little dark....even so I didn't find any problems with quality. There is a jack-in-the-box in front of the motel and a Perkins Restaurant across the street from that. The motel is hidden behind a Jackson's Texaco. It has an airport shuttle, and anyone riding the SLC airport shuttle can catch that bus at the Jackson's. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and will stay here again.

“Avoid it!”

The rooms were old, the hallways dimly lit, the paint peeling. I frequently stay in Red Lion hotels when I travel to the West and this one doesn't measure up.

Poor staffing, long check-in, way overpriced I would later deduce. Carpets in common areas filthy, room carpet unclean, burned out light bulbs, air conditioning didnt work. Restaurant onsite and bar area dead, dark, and understaffed as well, so decided to go elsewhere to eat even though after driving all day we didnt want to. Only "bright" spot was the new beds/pillows, linens and thats about all. Not at all what I have ever been exposed to in other Red Lion Inns.

“Not good for a Red Lion Inn”

Red Lion Hotel Pocatello

Jul 14, 2004
2/3 found this review helpful

Not what I expected for a Red Lion Inn.
Tired, not real clean. If I hadn't gotten a great deal on the price, but had to pay rack rate, forget it. Carpets not clean, bathroom way in need of renovation. Bathtub had a bad spot that had been fixed and the paint on it was peeling. Room was large. New pillows were scrumptious. Pool area looked okay. Check-in desk understaffed. We had some questions about the area, but decided to go to the gas station next door, otherwise we would have waited for about 10-15 minutes.
