Nice clean , quiet, safe...

Liked: We loved The Little Lion. Check in is a breeze. Before you arrive, you are sent the room number and pin number and when you arrive, you are all set. Clean, comfortable, quiet, serene, The dogs loved being there. Room amenities were perfect. Nice linen and towels. Room smelled clean when we arrived. Shower was great. Great hot water. Heat worked well. The grounds are nice. Walking trails, restaurants and shopping are all close by. We can't say enough about this motel. The Red Lion did a great job with this little gem. You also get to use the ameneties of the Red Lion Inn which is just up the road. (Even the pool and hot tub!!) My wife and I were impressed with the value of this motel. And did I mention there is NO PET FEE AT ALL!? This was our first visit to The Little Lion and definitely not our last.
Disliked: Leaving

Superb

Liked: Location. Price. Cleanliness
Disliked: No coffee. I'm not going to drive 3.5 miles to the mother hotel for coffee. Putting a coffee maker in the room would be helpful

Very good

Very good

Liked: It was nice to have the code to unlock the door. The location was terrific. The small fridge was also good which contained ice right in the room.
Disliked: I don’t really care for the idea of no staff on the property. Several people commented on a great breakfast and we did not understand that it was on a separate property.

Fine for one night if...

Liked: The location was great for a one night stay. Close to town.
Disliked: It was pretty desolate with no staff on site. Our bathroom wasn’t clean and actually had a sprout of a plant growing out of the drain! When we came back after going into town for a bit, we realized our door didn’t lock and could just open without entering the pass code. I didn’t feel comfortable with not having a locked door but I called the staff at the Red Lion sister site (since there was no staff on site here) and thankfully there was another room available that night to switch over to. Once we got to the new room, it was much cleaner and we realized the bathroom in our previous room probably wasn’t cleaned for a long time. Not sure what happened there but we had a decent night sleep and thankfully only were staying one night. We asked for some sort of discount since it was late at night when we had to switch rooms and we were downgraded from a king bed to twin beds and thankfully had nothing stolen but no one ever got back to me.

Good

Liked: Basic accomodation but it was what we were expecting. Coffee/tea was available in the main hotel but it would have been nice to have available in the room to save a drive. Lovely location.
Disliked: The air con/heating unit was very noisy so we couldn't have it running at night.

Very good

an old-fashioned little motel in...

Liked: easy access from the road
Disliked: arriving late at 7.30 pm (appointment had been for 3 - 5 pm) the office of the motel was closed, there was no note on the door for late guests, and there had no note been sent either as SMS or e-mail. To reach the manager by telephone was rather complicated, the key-safe at the office's door was not functional. Nonetheless, finally the door to our room could be opened.The next place to get a meal was a four-mile-drive away, opened only until 8.30 h.The room was smelly, the snoaring of our neighbor next door could be heard through the wall. There was no coffee-making-set in the room.Next morning the office was not occupied either, so we did not get a receipt for the payment made through credit-card.

Didn't stay, felt creepy.

Disliked: No one was at the hotel, no staff or visitors. Nor was there a note on the door, or any indication when they would return. It was a non-refundable reservation. We left and got a call an hour later from the Red Lion Inn who is apparently "managing remotely." I managed to get a refund, thankfully, as it was isolated in the countryside and I didn't feel safe without staff on-site.
