“This is a welcome addition to our East Coast portfolio of properties, which includes Red Lion Inn & Suites Brooklyn, Red Lion Hotel Harrisburg, Red Lion Hotel Orlando-Kissimmee Maingate, Hotel RL Baltimore and Hotel RL Washington D.C.," said RLHC President & CEO Greg Mount. “This hotel was built with the intent of showing the transformational opportunity that exists for capitalized assets adopting the repositioned Red Lion brand.”

Major updates to the six-story property include a fresh lobby concept with new furniture, reimagined public spaces, new exterior signage and enhanced landscaping.
