Red Lion Hotel Eureka

I would have given this Red Lion five stars except for two things: First, the front desk staff didnt seem very friendly or professional. No one cracked a smile or made us feel welcome. It just seemed like they were going through the motions, and well as a seasoned traveler I pick up on these things. Second, I’ve literally never heard of a hotel that doesn’t provide housekeeping services for three days. I’ve heard of daily or every other day but even when we asked for more towels, the front desk said the housekeepers are off shift and told me I could come down and get them. That’s a turnoff. Plus I asked for soap twice and got the same runaround. It’s ridiculous they don’t have daily housekeeping or even every other day. Shameful. That said, the rest of our stay was comfortable. I’m not entirely sure I’d stay here again. I may or may not give it another try but I’m leaning towards no right now. It’s a shame because I wanted to like this place.

The family suite is very spacious and big. Good bathroom. Two mirrors. Beds need an upgrade, wearing out but ok. Our room was quiet. The refrigerator didn't get very cold. Overall, a good stay!

Staff was friendly and helpful. The room was spacious, clean, and quiet for the most part.

hotel rooms are kind of dated

.

Good price, nice room, nice staff

Staff never any hassle

the free breakfast is not that good. There is no sign telling you were the restaurant is

It is conveniently located right off the 101 so if you are going north or south you have quick access. Close to Old Town Eureka.

The surroundings are plain. Not bad but you are just off the main travel route. Older hotel. Showing some wear. Not “electronically” as friendly as newer hotels. Continental breakfast used to have more offerings.
