This old hotel is not worth bringing your family too, the walls are paper thin. Just walking sounds like stomping. The rooms aged climate control sounds like a 1921 biplane, nice because the aviation museum is close by. The breakfast room is small with a traditional continental setting except for the limited coffee availability nothing much more than a single room coffee maker. Staff were very particular about your car license plate, so please have that information at the ready. No fan in the restrooms within the rooms, showing the age of this hotel. Ive stayed at many of the Red Lion Hotels so My expectation wasn’t to high but I can say without my discount I would not have chosen this location after my recent experience. I wouldn't recommend this location for families. There was a high point, though the indoor pool was a success as my oldest grandson learned to swim. I hope this provides a bit of insight to anyone who wants to stay here, but in McMinnville, beggars cant be choosers, very limited accommodations are available so price gouging is in full season.
My toilet wouldn’t keep running and finally at 6am I went to the front desk and told John. His response was “what do you want me to do about it.” Then proceeded to have a terrible attitude and refused to fix the issue. No sleep till the next shift comes in I guess.
The room was very clean, exceptionally quiet, and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. Check-in and check-out were easy and fast. I would recommend this hotel for a business or pleasure stay!
Stayed 2 nights June 2022. Was a Delux room and ended up costing $221 per night, wow. Was a weekend and found out it was local HS Graduation weekend. Room was as expected, nothing outstanding. The towels were well used as they were very thin. First night discovered there was only one bar of soap in the room at the sink. this for two people to wash and shower. Room was clean and outfitter as expected. One Light between the beds with two bulbs for reading. Kind of dim as it was about 12" higher than the bed. Sink was in the bed room, bath room had the toliet and shower. That room was so small that they had to locate the light switch out side as there was not enough room for buliding code spacing. Had an exhaust fan that must have come from the Evergreen Museum airplane parts room. Although the booking said breakfast, there was none. Mgr said he wasn't ready, although I had stayed in another Red Lion in Kelso WA a few weeks earlier and breakfast was set up. OH, no alarm clock. Will try other options next time.
The hotel is very close to the Evergreen Air and Space Museum which is why we stayed there. The hotel was clean and comfortable, and about half the price of the Comfort Inn across the street, The negatives are that they do not have a free breakfast and there are no in room coffee makers, The former is mitigated by the fact that McD shares a parking lot, As for the latter, they do keep a pot of coffee in the lobby, but it was pretty stale when I got a cup at 5:30 AM. In room coffee makers are so ubiquitous that it did not occur to me that here might not be one. All in all an excellent value.+
