Convenient location to food and shopping Outside of hotel was questionable, construction, and old. Inside of the room was Newley remodeled, clean and comfortable. Water temperature in shower was Luke warm and after a cold wet day in the PNW it was less then enjoyable.

The room looked bright and freshly remodeled with new furniture. Staff was friendly and the Wi-Fi in our assigned room was excellent. We found the bed to be very comfortable - great mattress choice! The location was convenient for our travel plans with quick access to a number of restaurants and grocery stores in town, and the freeway close by. Our room was quiet.

Black mold

Sadly a brand new refurbished room had Black mold in the bathroom, a big spot. Light switch that didn't work, bathroom plug that had no power. To top that all off the manager was smoking at the main entrance which stunk up going to the office.

The property didn’t have AC during a blistering summer. If it had carried AC, my experience would have been much more different.

Staff wasn't rude, but not very friendly. The room has recently been remodeled, but some things were not completed or not done correctly. The room wasn't dirty, but housekeeping needs to pay closer attention to things. Little things were left unattended. Not a horrible place to stay for a night.

Disliked: Amenities
Noisy , bathroom fecal matter on toilet, no breakfast as advertised, tub soap tray minuscule, no stopper in bathtub, no ice available,big gaps on door, no phones in room had to put clothes back on and walk to office, window was unlocked when we got in room. The first room deadbolt wouldn’t lock and door sweep was not on missing screws,moved us to another room so we had to repack etc.I gave manager this list. Hotel is in process of being remodeled. I was going to rent 3 rooms next weekend but talked to friends and they chose to find another place. The only positive thing I could say is that bedding, pillows and bed was very comfortable. I’m not blaming gal at counter or manager as she said she would pass on info to owner.I requested some compensation but said I’d have to go through Expedia as I booked with you. We had been in the car for hours and just wanted to have a bedtime cocktail and had to get dressed and go to office, no ice machine😡 someone had left an open bag of ice, she didn’t know who so I got enough for a couple of drinks. Also frig had no freezer so leftover ice melted.
