Every year my sisters and I go to the Red Lion to celebrate our mom’s birthday. It was one of her favorite places! We love the charm, the history and the “old fashioned” feel. Every guest room is different and they kindly upgraded me to a suite the last two times. The food at the restaurant is really good and we always love hearing the Jazz in the Lion’s Den on Sunday night. Can’t wait to return next year.

I reserved a queen size room, bright with a lot of room, couch and table, writing desk , real pretty! When we opened the door there was a bed two very small chairs no place to put a suitcase no floor space ! One little window no ac, the room was on the 3th floor ! Bathroom was very small. I realize it is a very old in and did not expect everything to be perfect, but this was far from it ! It was a room for a maid or a distant relative you want to get rid of ! Unfortunately we had a family emergency and couldn’t stay, that’s when the staff stepped up and was very nice and courteous and gave us a refund. If we had stayed it would not have been in that room, I was very disappointed had looked forward to the stay there for a long time , but we couldn’t not have gotten a new room every room was booked !

Red lion inn is such a vibe in the winter. We have been coming for 40 years. The rooms could use lots of TLC. Mold in the bathrooms, peeling wallpaper etc… there is no room service which tho there is dining in the hotel, the rates of $500 per night for the room, coffee in bed would have been nice. It’s an icon but basic TLC is needed.

I had always wanted to stay at The Red Lion Inn and decided to treat myself to a one-night stay. Since it was in December I was especially excited to have a fireplace in the room. Sadly, I learned the fireplace didn’t work and that they are renovating some of the systems, but offered no partial refund or other amenity to compensate. On the positive side, it is a dog-friendly ($$ fee) hotel with an outdoor heated pool. The queen size canopy bed was very comfortable. The bathroom is small and could benefit from a refresh. The staff were nice. I’m glad I made a dinner reservation a week in advance. Meals were fine with excellent service especially for dinner. The lobby was crowded and quite loud as was the pub. Overall it was OK. I’m glad I visited, but likely won’t return.

Highly recommend making reservations at their Tavern or Dining Area.

This is a historical hotel and indeed the history is fabulous, everything appears like it did in 1773. Trouble is the rooms are also like this and the beds felt like they were 200 years old - so very uncomfortable. All part of the experience. Our room faced the street and I was surprised how much traffic noise kept me up until late at night, next time I will request a room facing inward. Not enough staff at the bar and dining during peak weekends, took forever just to get a cup of hot chocolate for the kids. But, very quaint, beautiful, that Main Street is just classic.

Property is very old and run down. Holes in the building, paint falling off the building exterior etc. The interior was in just as poor condition. Dark and run down. Most windows didn’t open and were covered in cob webs and the ones that did didn’t have screens and slammed back down, the painted floors were just old and dirty, You could see outside around the door, the entire property is sold as rustic and charming but it’s just run down and poorly maintained especially for double or triple the money of the surrounding hotels. The area is walkable and the front porch is nice, but would not stay there even for half the rate.

We stayed in one of the houses on the property. The room was clean but we would have liked the balcony to be cleaned of leaves and some empty cans left there.

The pool was nice although the lounge chairs were soaking wet and we couldn't sit in them. The staff was nice, and the food and bar were good.

Overpriced property with poor customer service. I spent 3 nights at the RLI. My daughter is attending an area boarding school and was I looking for my go-to place for when I come to visit her. RLI will not be it. Firstly, my $1400+ rate did not include breakfast. Additionally, the simple request for hot water so that I could have my morning or evening tea, either went unanswered (front desk phone would ring and ring and ring) or would not be sent after speaking with someone. I did manage to get hot water when I went downstairs to retrieve it or on Sunday morning when someone brought it pretty quickly. Additionally, the internet is not secure for guests. When I asked why there was a staff secure access and not one for guests, I was told that that would be an upgrade in the future. If you plan on doing work while there, think again. I did not eat at the restaurant, so I cannot comment on the food. Also, plan on getting up really early as the cleaning crew comes around for housekeeping around 9:30. Overall, I would not revisit. You can get much better value at a Bed & Breakfast (and actually get breakfast) or at a chain hotel.

If you arrive late in the day almost all of the local shops are closed which I find to be a negative. There is a mini fridge in the room, however mine was set to a level which froze all my food. there is a window about 3’ x 2’ in the shower, which looks out on the parking area. There is no curtain shade or anything else covering it.! it looks like at one point it was painted over but it’s all come off.

There's a big difference between \"charm\" and \"neglect,\" especially in a room that costs $500 per night.

Is $500 a night appropriate for a bathroom with a old, peeling vinyl floor? Is it a good price for a room with a door so mis-shapen that there's a 1-inch gap between the top of the door and the doorframe, so you can peer into the room when the door is shut? Is $500 a night deserved for a room with a bedspread so old, it's been worn straight through in places (holes).

You can decide for yourself. Just know what to expect.
