It was convenient The person at the desk was not helpful when the room was not getting warmer than 60 degree and she told us they don’t have any blankets . When we asked if she could help us to find another hotel, she told us we should do it not her and didn’t let us use the phone , finally the other girl there brought us blankets , My friend and I both are very experienced travelers we had never been treated so rudely .

The room is clean, updated, and very quiet. Front desk clerk at 2 in the morning dispatched a cab to get us at the airport, which serves as their shuttle, and the cab met us as we retrieved our luggage. The hot breakfast was varied and tasted good, and the area was kept clean through the breakfast time.

Very clean and nice hotel , however night staff could not let me know if I could rent the next day, so we had to pack up everything , go do our sightseeing come back that evening and see if a room was available. I thought most hotels could check their availability. Little sis appointed in that.

Dear Karen, Thank you so much for staying with us as well as taking your time to review your recent stay at our property. It is normally not an issue with checking availability for the next day. During your stay we were full so we had to hope for a cancellation or a no show in hopes to extend your stay for the following day. We do apologize that this was not explained to you better and will use this as a training opportunity for our night staff. We hope to see you again in the future! Best Regards, Kristen Koch Front Office Manager

Best Western Chena River

Pros: Near Walgreens, Safeway, Fred Myers, & a couple of restaurants.
Cons: Clean & repair
Checked in @ 4am, -22 degree weather & the heater didn’t work. Dead bolt would not lock. Maintenance came & looked at it; but, never returned to do anything about it. Toilet was grundgy & stained, grout in the shower was grundgy & moldy. AC vents above breakfast table was dusty & dirty, Kleenex box was empty & housekeeping never filled it. Not up to my expectations!
