SPOKANE, Wash., Oct. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Red Lion Hotels Corporation (NYSE: RLH) is giving travelers an early holiday present. For the price of a Saturday night stay, guests can check-in at 8:00 A.M. on Saturday and check-out at 8:00 P.M. on Sunday, giving them two full days to enjoy the facilities and amenities of Red Lion's 45 hotels throughout the West. With recently renovated rooms featuring Red Lion's signature Stay Comfortable® bed, restaurants, and locations in the heart of shopping and local activities, guests can get some much needed "me" time at an exceptionally affordable price. In addition, children under 18 stay free at Red Lion, so the whole family can get away and reconnect and let someone else do the cooking and cleaning for a change.

"After a Summer of being bombarded with 'buy one get one free' and 'stay two get one free' offers, we wanted to give travelers a simple way to just get out of the house for a weekend," said Barry Hughes, SVP Marketing and Distribution at Red Lion Hotels. "With the economy still dragging and the holidays approaching, there's pent up demand for quick getaways and we expect that our Super Mega Weekends promotion will give travelers the excuse they need to take a much needed break," added Hughes.

Super Mega Weekends are available from Saturday, October 24, through January, 30, 2010 at participating Red Lion hotels and are available exclusively on the company's website at redlion.com. Booking the Super Mega Weekend rate code automatically provides for early Saturday check-in and late Sunday check-out.
