“Dark and dingy”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 December 2011
2
people found this review helpful

We were on our way to Glacier National Park and decided to stay at this hotel based on various reviews. Ick. It was dark and dingy and appeared very old, like a hotel from the 70's. It was attached to a small mall which was nice. Nothing else was open at night around here. It would be much nicer to have stayed slightly out of town near all newer restaurants and stores and new mall which we found later when looking for a restaurant - this place was depressing and a disappointment, and overpriced. Lots of old people were there and seemed to enjoy it. There was a courtyard with a fire pit.

“GREAT LOCATION”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 November 2011

person found this review helpful

This hotel is in such a GREAT location, located attached to the mall...PERFECT for a girls shopping getaway. A few of us girls stayed here for a shopping weekend, and I am glad we chose this hotel as it was the best choice. The pillows were soooooo fluffy not stiff like some other hotels.Well located, very clean & affordable and the morning breakfast was SOOOOOO GOOD...and lots of selection both hot & food. I will definitely stay here again in the future and recommend to others..OHHH and there is a really cool little peanut bar close by across the street called Mooses Saloon...cheap HOT pizza & good too, cheap beer & wine, was a great time!!! Perfect for after a long day! (-:

“Best hotel and service in Kalispell”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I attended a wedding event at the hotel in early November and I have to say that the Red Lion Hotel Kalispell surprised me with how the incredible hotel experience. You have to admit that going to Kalispell in Winter is not a "top-of-mind" dream. But, if you had to go to Kalispell in Winter, you definitely want to stay at the Red Lion Hotel Kalispell...here is why: (1) The lobby has a "Stein Eriksen"-esque quality about it with the decor and the large fire place and I absolutely love it and spent a couple of hours reading Gladwell in front of the fire. (2) The service was excellent. Katrina was very helpful with local dining recommendations. I especially appreciate her strong support for going to Julie's (2 blocks from the hotel) for breakfast. (3) The hotel is attached to the only shopping area in town so there is always something to do. I got half of my shopping list taken care of during a Saturday morning and it was fun seeing the kids line up for Santa. (4) The room is great. Very spacious and the bed is very warm and comfortable. (5) There is an indoor pool, spa and sauna. Too few hotels today provide these threesome necessity (Pool+Spa+Sauna) and I am a huge fan. (6) Last, but not least, BREAKFAST IS FREE!!! This isn't your usual breakfast. There is an omelette station and the breakfast dining area is set up in this funky atrium area right next to the entrance of the Kalispell Center Mall. I am a Hilton Honors member and rarely take advantage of the cold porridge experience at Hampton's. This breakfast was hot, fast and delicious with plenty of healthy to choose from.

Thanks again to the team at the Red Lion. We will be back whether it is Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall!

Room Tip: The corner suites are very spacious and provided 2 beds and a pullout couch.
