Red Lion Hotel Wenatchee City Center

Great staff! The manager Bobbi was very accommodating for our travel situation and supportive of our work on a wildfire in the area. Lots of food options within walking distance. I will say that the exercise room is pretty limited and carpeting in the room and hallways could use an upgrade. Overall a great place to stay!

So I knew what I was getting judging by all of the reviews I read ahead of time, so I knew the property was likely going to be less than terrific. We were meeting in Wenatchee as somewhat of a halfway point and wanted an outdoor pool - so options were few and far between. I would say it’s difficult to know who works at the hotel because everyone seems to be in street clothes. Overall, at the risk of repeating myself, the property is just worn and dated. The room needs a very past due refresh. There are several things that any property would update and replace that just seem to be overlooked as though they don’t care. The lampshades are covered with what looks like spilled coffee and dead bugs, the sheer portion of the draperies are shredded as though a pet clawed through them and the seam across the bottom are all ripped out, the chords on the lamps are so old that they are yellow. The room has the antiquated type of dial thermostat, not digital. The blower vent up on the ceiling had about a half inch of dust. The pillows were so old that when the house cleaning staff put them in new pillowcases, they were small enough to be a square and not a rectangle. We actually went to target during our stay and bought pillows so that we could sleep. The pillows in are quite literally that old and worn. There is a sticker in the bathroom advising that they will not do house cleaning while you’re there unless you ask - the reasoning being they use hospital grade cleaning products. That doesn’t help when you have a room full of people and two small towels for a four day stay. They do have an outdoor swimming pool and during our July trip when it was 85° we used the pool and found that they had exactly one lounge chair. They had three tables, but only two of them had an umbrella. The rest of the chairs were like stackable plastic patio chairs. I want you to know what you’re getting when you stay here. This is not at all where I would’ve chosen to stay, but again we were simply crossing our fingers for a best case scenario so that we had the option for the outdoor pool. If your room is in the back of the hotel, the front desk staff may recommend to you to park in the back. I might suggest you look before you commit to that as the back of the property is not at all well lit, and appears to have non-guests that frequent the back part of the parking lot.

Older decor but pleasant experience overall. Great value for the price. Breakfast is pretty good too! …………………………………………………………………………………………..

As usual always clean. Quiet. Excellent AC. Best breakfast in town for under 20 dollars. And the front desk is amazing and they are unimposing and always ready to help without attitude.
