Booked this property for the amenities of the pool which has a lazy river and the bar and restaurant hoping that I did not have to leave the hotel property the full 2 days. Unfortunately the bar was not open the whole time I was there. The restaurant closed early. The lazy river did not open until 2:00 p.m. on the first day I was there, It did not open at all on the second day and that was one of the main reasons I chose the Red Lion. The tubes that they have to float the lazy river with are for little small children. I called ahead about this and they should have told me to bring my own tube. It's unfortunate that the reason that I stayed there for the lazy river and the restaurant and bar, those being unavailable was very disappointing.

Hello Jennifer,That is correct , we open the Lazy River at 2:00 pm which is posted on our website. The pool bar and restaurant also have specific days and hours of operations which is also posted on our website. We have tubes for all ages and sizes , maybe you should have asked the attendants and they would have showed you where we keep them. Thank you for staying with us.

This place was awesome! Didn't have high expectations because of the price but was pleasantly surprised by how nice it was. Had a great looking lazy river but didn't get to try it because of weather. Highly recommend!

The ease in checking in & out. Also, accessibility to major highway, dining establishments. However, my trip package didn't mention the resort fee once chewing in the Red Lion hotel.

We are glad that you liked our room. Resort fees cover more than the use of the lazy river.

This was my second visit at Red Lion and I will definitely be back. The rooms are huge. The bed was comfortable. The staff has always been very friendly. The ONLY thing I am unhappy about is the hours of the lazy river. I wish they had later hours like the pool so my husband and I can enjoy it after a long day in the parks. We just celebrated our 34th anniversary and looked forward to the lazy river after Magic Kingdom. That aside, this hotel is amazing!

The place was clean and well kept. The pool was great. I wish the lazy river opened all day but it was only from 2-7pm. Pulling out of the parking lot is difficult because of the main intersection. But a fantastic hotel.
