Duct tape patches on carpets

This hotel used to be the nicest in town 25 plus years ago but has fallen into disrepair and is extremely outdated. The issues are: carpets are loose with tripping hazards and duct tape holding together, gnats coming out of the sink overflow hole, blood on the walls and shower curtain, moisture damage on the ceiling above the shower, wallpaper peeling off the walls, toothpaste on the wall, TV remote (tried two different kinds when desk agent gave me a 2nd one to try) didn't correlate to the TV so could only use channel up/down and volume up/down, gym equipment is old and outdated, and there was a plastic bag secured with a ponytail holder over the smoke detector. The blood spray and plastic bag point towards drug use in the room prior to our stay. Also the train was going by all night long and the people above us were stomping on the floor. We asked for a different room and were told no rooms were available due to being overbooked the entire 9 nights we stayed and our reservation was not refundable because we booked through Expedia so we were stuck in unclean and unsafe conditions.

My go-to Wenatchee hotel is the Redlion; not only is it reasonably priced, but the customer service is top-notch. I have a couple small issues, and they're more about aesthetics than anything else; things like the carpet and walls may use some fixing. Breakfast is available, which is an improvement above Continental. Parking is not very congested, and there aren't many alternatives for around $5. You won't find a lot of people here. Even though it gets rather crowded during the beer festival and Christmas markets, the pricing is still pretty low. If you're searching for a cheap hotel with first-rate service and plenty of convenient amenities, I highly recommend this one. I stay here whenever I can.

Room was so damp and musty slept with windows open and all heat off... trying to air out room. The toilet leaked around the base of it .. Mold in bathroom... floors sticky Carpets smelled of dampness and smoke...in my room I placed towels on the floor so I wouldn't touch it. In the hallways widespread use of tape to hold it down. I could hear slow dripping water in the room when it rained. The curtains smelled of old wet towels and had so many stains on them as to be hazardous. Also where curtains touched the ceiling it was wet. Ceiling itself was water damaged beyond belief... and appears to be actively ongoing. Feathers on the stairs. Anyone who gives this Hotel Hell a star above 1 is lying. Other people in our group reported the same to me and more... one room had stained sheets...non functioning shower... and yet a third told me of chew marks on the comforter with a broken tv. This is a small sampling of pictures... without reservations this hotel is a true health hazard.

Bird droppings outside of patio

I am very displeased with my stay due to the quality and sanitary issues of our room. I had checked in dropped my items and headed straight to the event in that town. My guest and I didn't return to the room till about 11pm that night in which we noticed multiple issues in our room. Bathroom: floor was sticky, toilet had precious stains, water residue, browning scum that was not flushable, very slow drainage from the bathtub when showering it took about two minutes to drain when using the shower head. Bedding: White sheets were clean but brown blanket that was provided by the front desk was discolored, sticky material and shredding in multiple areas. Patio: Upon opening the patio door you can see multiple bird droppings lining at the bottom on the sliding door. It appears to have accumulated for while. When standing outside of the patio to the right was the air conditioning machine with bird droppings, feathers pinned to the machine, nest, and pidgin eggs. Due to these sanitary issues my guest and I deemed it that it would cause more harm to breathe and sleep with compromised circulating air either by opening the patio or turning on the air conditioning. I had booked this stay on sept 29 (check in 10/8 and check out 10/9) ONE DAY STAY- there for I wished that this room would of been supervised for cleanliness prior to guest checking in. I would like to get a response to how this was room was prepared and compensated for a unsanitary stay. I had traveled along with three other groups who stayed for the town event and their rooms were properly set for them. I would like a response why my room was in this condition.

great price, decent room, clean room, no bugs, no smell, plush pillows. questionable mystery red stains on carpet, could be blood, could be wine who knows! edge of nightstand was obviously previously used as bottle opener, someone had a great time in this room. includes complimentary shower products with fun art on them. overall room is pretty clean, comes with some scuffs and outdated furniture but overall gets the job done for one great deal

Looks like the hairdryer used to go here?

Well it has everything you will need for a decent nights sleep. Location is in a decent area for shopping, eating, do stuff. The hotel itself is a bit dated but they keep it clean. The room however was a little disappointing. I'm attaching pictures of the issues I found and also found other peoples things under the bed that wasn't cleaned prior to our arrival. ** stars that's all. No 5 for you.

Pros: The location of this hotel is great and it is pet friendly. Huge flat screens and pool is good size. Cons: Dirty & ripped carpet, no continental breakfast, cold coffee, no room cleaning each night, balcony has bird poop & rotting.

Albertsons is just over a block away.  You're getting ripped off for convenience

THIS IS YOUR WARNING!!! DONT STAY HERE!!! he pictures speak for themselves. Most guests seem to capture the same picture of filth and neglect. I work here and the company I work for puts us up in this dump. They stuff our employees in the higher number rooms with minimal amenities. No coffee. Half the toiletries and half the towels. All the televisions are outdated tube televisions with poor reception and some of them don't get half of the promised channels. All of the floors are tripping hazards and extremely dirty and sticky. The whole room is old and dirty. Poorly turned over and any request to get another room that isn't a half mile away is denied. The alarm clocks are probably dated at the same time of the the tv's and sheets. 1980's. The sheets are off white but I'm sure they were nice when the Cosby show was still on the air. The blankets have holes everywhere and the comforter is decades old and never get cleaned. The rooms are dark because more than half of the Nile burned out. In the summer, when it's 100 degrees outside. It's hot and humid in the rooms because the govern the air conditioning units. I recommend googling the unit and finding a hack to take the setting off. Trust me, you'll want to do it and it works. Crank it to its coldest setting. You paid for it! There's no coffee in room anymore and that indication some shows how they've nickel and dimed their costs to take advantage of the customer by not providing the service that should be a given with such a large chain. The pool was dirty and the towels out there are equally nasty and old. The bar is in the basement and it's dark setting hides the sickness and filth of poor cleaning practices. Nothing has changed over the years. Well one thing. They upgraded the tube televisions and that's about it. My pics spell it out. It just keeps getting worse here. Carpets are a major tripping hazard. Nothing has been maintained here. Taking your money and not investing a dime back into the establishment.

As a traveling Family Nurse Practitioner specializing in lifestyle medicine, I rely on hotels for safe rest, reliable housekeeping, functioning amenities, timely access to deliveries, and secure handling of food and belongings. Unfortunately, this became one of my most difficult hotel experiences. The property did not provide guest access to filtered drinking water. I found the tap water unpleasant, leaving bottled water as the only practical option. The hotel also repeatedly declined to provide basic dishware and food-preparation items such as cups, plates, bowls, forks, spoons, and a cutting board. For a long-term business stay, this made basic hydration and meal preparation unnecessarily difficult. One area deserves recognition: maintenance. The bathtub drain issue was repaired promptly, and the engineering staff made good-faith efforts to help. Maintenance follow-through was excellent. Housekeeping was far more difficult. Service hours repeatedly conflicted with my healthcare work schedule and irregular sleeping hours. Near the end of my stay, management photographed portions of my room and sent the images to my employer. The bathroom did require cleaning, and I accept that. However, I found it deeply humiliating that the photographs were shared without what I believe was important context: limited housekeeping availability, severe sleep disruption, my work schedule, and the abrupt departure process. I was concerned that sending those images to my employer could harm my professional reputation. Package handling was another major problem. I repeatedly had difficulty obtaining packages that had already arrived, and some appeared to remain at the hotel for extended periods. As a long-term business traveler, I should not have had to make repeated requests to access deliveries addressed to me. My most serious concern involved two frozen boxes of medically prepared meals valued at approximately $250 each, for a total loss of about $500. The day before departure, Theresa at the front desk told me that the two frozen boxes were still being held and could be retrieved when I left the following day. I also had one refrigerated box that had spoiled, and I specifically authorized disposal of that refrigerated box. At checkout, another front-desk associate told me that Theresa had documented the opposite: that I wanted the two frozen boxes discarded. The valuable frozen meals were gone, while the spoiled refrigerated food had been kept and returned to me. That was not what I requested. I cannot determine whether this resulted from inaccurate documentation, miscommunication, or another cause. However, the result was the loss of approximately $500 in medically prepared food. I requested a written explanation and reimbursement. The final days of my stay were also poorly handled. I spent several days trying to coordinate packages, storage bins, shipping labels, food, and other belongings. Management appears to have known that my follow-up reservation would not be honored, yet I was not given clear and timely notice until the end of my stay. That left me managing an abrupt move, work responsibilities, belongings, shipping logistics, and severe sleep deprivation under extreme pressure. This was an extended healthcare work stay, not a brief leisure visit. The hotel functioned as my temporary home. Reliable sleep, timely communication, psychological safety, and secure handling of my property were essential. The cumulative impact was profound. I became severely sleep deprived, physically and emotionally exhausted, and increasingly concerned about my ability to rest adequately before caring for patients. During the early morning hours following my birthday, I required emergency medical evaluation and contacted the behavioral-health crisis support line available through my insurance. The property itself is attractive, and the engineering team was a clear positive. Unfortunately, the package delays, housekeeping limitations, food-storage failure, late communication, and management escalation outweighed those strengths. After this experience, I have decided to move my future hotel business elsewhere whenever possible. Filtered-water access: 0/10 Extended-stay kitchen support: 0/10 Maintenance follow-through: 10/10 Housekeeping flexibility: 0/10 Package handling: -10/10 Handling of medically prepared food: -10/10 Management communication: 0/10 Overall experience: 0/10 I hope the property improves its package procedures, food-storage documentation, housekeeping flexibility, communication with long-term guests, and handling of sensitive employer communications.

Beautiful Property, Deeply Unfair Management Process…read more Residence Inn Wenatchee has a beautiful Columbia River location, comfortable suites, and valuable complimentary electric-vehicle charging. Marriott should add more chargers. Unfortunately, management overshadowed every positive aspect of my extended stay. I selected this hotel as my temporary home for what was expected to be an approximately 81-night healthcare work assignment. For more than a month, no significant management concerns were communicated to me. Then, after several interactions were interpreted differently from how I intended them, management ended my stay early and later confirmed in writing that the property would not accept future reservations from me. My central concern is simple: Neither manager ever asked me for my account before making those decisions. I was not given a written summary of the allegations, told which facts had been verified, informed which policies I had allegedly violated, or given a meaningful opportunity to respond, correct inaccuracies, apologize, or demonstrate growth. One incident involved my saying that I was "in love" with a front-desk associate. I now understand that the wording may have caused discomfort, although that was not my intention. Another guest then loudly yelled, "Stop flirting with him," in front of others. I felt publicly humiliated and later responded loudly when that guest asked whether he had offended me. I accept that I should have disengaged completely. Management later raised the possibility that I had followed the guest to his room. I did not. I was returning to my own room when he spoke to me again. No manager ever asked me directly what occurred. Other concerns involved a public swim-meet weekend and a separate pool conflict in which I sought help from the front desk. I acknowledge that I was sleep deprived, distressed, and approached the desk multiple times. Again, nobody asked me for my complete chronological account. Both managers eventually came to my room together at approximately 9:00 a.m. on a Monday, woke me, and informed me that I had to leave early. The decision appeared final before my perspective had ever been requested. I later received written notice permanently refusing future reservations, but no clear explanation of the specific evidence, findings, or reasoning was provided. I accept that intent and impact are not always the same, and I have reflected seriously on boundaries, emotional regulation, affectionate language, awareness, and de-escalation. But accountability should not be one-sided. A fair process should hear all sides before making permanent decisions. That did not happen here. Property and location: 10/10 Management process: 0/10 Transparency: 0/10 Overall experience: 0/10 A beautiful hotel cannot overcome management that left a long-term guest feeling unheard, falsely accused, removed, and permanently unwelcome.
