I went to Seattle for a conference and thus had an excellent deal through the conference for Red Lion on Fifth. While the deal was terrific, I don't think I would pay full price. The room was nice, and the bathroom was amazing although the shower had some design flaws and actually flooded our bathroom floor, but it was manageable.... More

They say it with home-buying, but it is true of hotels in cities also. Location is everything, and this Red Lion on Fifth Avenue has a great location. It was convenient to my several errands in downtown and near to our conference, but better value. But location is not all they have going for them. The Red Lion have lovely... More

We stayed here in May and upon checking in were told "you'll be staying in one of our newer rooms". I'm guessing this means that our room was recently updated and in comparing our room to the photographs here on TripAdvisor, it's clear that our room was in fact recently updated and had a much more modern feel than some...

I really liked the Red Lion. I stayed here for the Memorial Day weekend. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating.

Stayed here for a week, on a business visit.Central location- restaurants, supermarkets, cafe bars, shopping all walking distance. Hassle free pickup and drop from the airport. I walked to the trade center every day and did not take the company car, its a joy to walk the streets. The checkin was a bit delayed, I guess they were short staffed.... More
