“Saving money isn't always better.....”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 March 2011
1
person found this review helpful

A friend and I were recommended this hotel to stay at. We visited Red River Lodge this past weekend and let me tell you, its worth spending the extra money and staying elsewhere. Now, I am not by any means usually picky about where I stay. If its clean and presentable, its good with me. This hotel was quite a disappointment. At first when you enter the room, you think its not a bad place for the price you paid. But when you take a good look at the room, its disgusting. There was some unusual stain on the toilet seat that could not be rubbed off with a towel, there was black mold on the shower curtain, the towels weren't white and smelt a little funny, you could tell the room was not cleaned properly as there was dust all along the tv, dirt all over the floor, the clock didn't work, the phone cut in and out , the heater was extremely loud/dirty, you could hear the people next door to you talking, showering, etc., and the beds were uncomfortable. Not to mention waking up and feeling itchy all over. (did check for bed bugs apon checking in, and appeared to be okay)... this was definately not what I was expecting out of this place... I would NEVER recommend this place to anyone and will not be returning here again... Hope you take this advice and stay anywhere else!!!

“Great for the rate!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 December 2010 via mobile

Pros

Inexpensive low rate
Close to the interstate/mall
Clean/modern
Polite/helpful staff
LCD TV with cable
Free WiFi
Free mini breakfast

Cons if you want to be picky
Very small room
Very low toilet
No bathroom counter
Nothing to hold on getting in/out of shower
Very loud heater wall unit
Could hear all neighbors heaters all night
No closet
Minimal towels
Minimal lighting
Very uncomfortable bed/pillows
Slightly moldy shower curtain
Half used shampoo/lotion
super cheap and chensey everything

You get what you pay for and for $50 bucks I was shocked they had an LCD TV with cable free WiFi and free mini breakfast because Motel 6 which is the same price has nothing.

I wouldn't recommend stay here long term but for one or two nights it was perfect for us.

“Reasonable value.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 July 2010

My partner and I booked a double queen (2-queen beds) non-smoking room.
We obtained a slight discount for being CAA members.

Overall it was a reasonably decent stay. We could hear some of the other patrons, but they were not particularly loud and the hotel wasn't very full.
From what I can tell, our room was newly renovated.
The toilet/tub room was small but clean and functional.
It was a hot weekend, and we were grateful for the presence of the air conditioning unit in the room.

Here's a summary of the experience:

Pros:
-Relatively inexpensive
-Clean room
-comfortable beds
-lots of pillows
-digital cable TV
-close to I29 & shopping
-Ice machine
-Newly renovated double rooms are reasonably sized
-Air conditioning unit in room
-clock radio
-Free shared internet terminal in lobby
-bar soap, conditioning shampoo, lotion
-room blackout curtains
-lots of parking
-digital/swipe card door locks
-free coffee in the lobby

Cons:
-Free wireless internet signal wasn't strong enough to reach to the room - it worked at the front, but dropped/disappeared by the time we made it to the room.
-Exercise room listed in the amenities is essentially an empty room (perhaps a work-in-progress)
-You can hear the people in the next room
-Room service made the rounds before 9 am on the Saturday we stayed
-use of ceiling tiles in the bathroom; it's a bad idea, any way you slice it
-slight musty smell (but not overly offensive)
-no luggage storage service

Unknowns:
We didn't try the semi-self-serve continental breakfast; I'm a bacon&eggs girl, and there was no protein to be had.

“Interesting stay”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 March 2010

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights,March 26, 27, 2010. Although we knew it was an economy room, we found it very unusual that our room was not made up. We did get clean towels and some soap, but that was it. We didn't realize that economy meant that our room would not be made up. The other very annoying item was that the heater would come on and be extremely loud. Just when your falling asleep this damn heater would start up. The room was clean but very small, with just a double bed,1 chair, no where to hang any coats or clothes.Ok for what we paid, would we go back, probably not.
