Plenty of potential but not worth the money; sheets were horrible and stained, horrible mattress, couch had animal scratches on end and food stains on it, also no support. (I weigh 115 -t shouldn't sink when I sit on it). No salt and pepper shakers, no complimentary bottle of water, bathroom door needs a a 15 minute paint job, windows need to be washed

Decent quick stay

Rooms were decent size, bed was comfy, great size bathroom with walk in shower. Not much of a view from windows. A bit outdated of a hotel. Location was convenient.

We were in town from SoCal helping a family member out during a very difficult time. The hotel location and property were great. The best part of the stay was definitely the service from Timmy at the front desk. I looked forward to returning to my room every evening, with hopes that he'd be there at the desk to encourage me to come get happy hour drinks. It was a much needed distraction and act of kindness to offset a sad and stressful time.

The hotel was really nice! They didn’t have their own private parking lot. Sigh, we were nervous abt parking in the city parking lot across from the hotel, paying an overnight fee of $35. We noticed there weren’t much security there… just one video monitor. Our guts were right, our SUV was broken in, breaking a passenger door window glass. Nothing was taken from inside. We spend 3 hrs getting the window replaced. We would stay at the hotel again if they had their own parking lot with security videos all over the lot.

It is downtown in a good area for dining and walking. The famous Powell’s Bookstore is nearby. It is a classic hotel. Unfortunately, the economics of providing parking in the downtown environment requires that they charge $30/day extra to park your car. The mattress on our bed was very saggy in the middle, but I saw stacks of new mattresses in the basement car garage ready to be installed. I assume the problem will be taken care of shortly.
