Place needs some major TLC. Bath tub full of mold. Room smelled of mildew & felt very damp. Bed & pillows surprisingly comfy though. The outside is very neglected. It’s super creepy at night, strange people roaming around nearby. Had an issue with a very drunk/drugged guy in parking lot & needed assistance from front desk. Biggest issue was the cell/wifi service…there was basically none. Kept drifting in & out or none at all. Very disappointing.

It has a beautiful courtyard and there's the beautiful Cascades Park behind it. The owner built a path/stairs to go down the hill to access the park. Friendly staff.
