With apolgies to Ms Martin, I stayed at the Red Lion in '99, & while I had no prob with that, after staying at the Thunderbird, the T-Bird is where I'll stay from now on.

My wife and I stayed at this motel for one night on August 21, 2004. The motel is located downtown on a relatively quiet street.

While using your service to make a reservation, I read... more

I have stayed at this motel for the last 6 years during the Cowboy Poetry Gathering, and it is excellent. It is clean, relatively quiet, and well-managed.

I have been in the hotel industry for 15 plus years and this motel is one of the cleanest and most certainly the quietest.Maybe these guests lost a large...

Rooms are very nicely decorated. They are large and clean. Comfortable beds. Our room also included a micowave, refrigerator combo. There is a very nice lobby/office where coffee, tea and or hot chocolate is provided. The motel gave us a coupon for a free buffet breakfast at the Red Lion Hotel. The motel is located right across the street from... more
