[WzDancer]

You are welcome.

Lots of Red Lions on the West Coast charge parking fees. Hope this one is an exception.

Red Lion Stapleton Hotel Review

Parking's free. Enjoy.

Wow! Looks like there's excitement waiting for me tomorrow.

I know that Red Lion is a chain of varying quality since West Coast consolicated all properties (except the flagship in downtown Spokane) under one name. I had bad Red Lion in Idaho last year, but not as bad as you described. Luckily, I am just there for a one-nighter on my cross-country driving. This will be the first time I'm set my feet in Colorado other than Stapleton or DIA.

I wish Priceline has a better rating system for hotels. I stayed last night at Clarion Louisville, KY, it does not deserve the 2.5* Priceline rated.

Even though I did not see the guy with wifebeater T-shirt, I agree with "Lowballer", this place does not qualify for 3*.

This place does have some attributes of 3* places, nice looking lobby, restaurant and $9.95 for using in-room Wi-Fi. However, Wi-Fi is free in the lobby. Most of the sofas are occupied by geeks staring at their notebook PCs. They have probably been sent here by Priceline.

I am not mad, sinceI am still getting a better deal than non-priceline alternatives.

I think the price is lower than all other 1*2*3* hotels in denver central and downtown.So just regarding it as 1* is ok.The price match the quality.

Actually, my whole point was this is NOT a better deal than non-PL alternatives. (My criticism here is of PL, not you.)

For one night, you paid about $44+tax when PL's booking fee is added. But there are tons of hotels all around Denver that advertise rates lower than that and can't be much worse than the Red Lion. There are several hotels near the 70/225 junction that go for $30-35/ night, for example. And these are walkup rates that you're not committed to.
