Let's start by my going into my room and noticing it was frigid in the room, it's the end of January and the bathroom window was wide open...WHY? I immediately closed it and turned the heat on. I then got into bed. Woke at about 11:00 pm freezing, the heater was turned on full blast, but didn't work. Calls to the front desk must have been routed to a call center. I kept getting someone who was trying to take a reservation. I woke in the morning after getting a sleeping bag out of my vehicle. I turned on some lights, saw someone's toenail clippings on the floor by the bed. I looked at the heater on the wall below the window and I should be glad it didn't turn on, it was filled with hair and nasty debris. The drawer by the sink was filled with hair and dirt. There was dirt in the corners of the room. This was probably the absolute worst room I have ever stayed in. I will NEVER stay here again. EVER. I have pictures......

Book through oyo only, no third party!!!!!!

We showed up after a 6 hour drive only to a kiosk you have to use after 2pm!!!! Very rude and unhelpful woman working the kiosk. I was in tears, it was my daughters wedding weekend. I had reservations for 3 rooms for 2 nights through Hotels.com ( never booking on here ever again) A lot of family was staying there. The next morning, I have to say the women working on site helped and got me the rooms we needed. A big thanks to her!!! But also, my credit card was charged for NO SHOW!!! She took the charge off and comped my one room, that im grateful for. It was an experience!!! Thankfully it was resolved, but watch your credit card using any third party site. Good luck with anyone staying there. Bathroom in 211 was gross ! Plus the doorknob was shaking like it was fallin off Nasty place in same parking lot as a bar. People yelling in the parking lot all night I wished i would've booked best Western.

The physical property did not match the images posted, the checkin process was through a Kiosk there was no person on the premsise to speak with, the steps leading up to the second floor were not properly secured to the stair case frame, the door to the room did not properly seal when closed, the room smelled of mildew, the bed was very squeaky and appeared very old, the room did not match the images posted and amenities listed were not present in the room (I.E. a desk and chair), physical room damage was painted over and not repaired and stickers being partially peeled off the door were present. Other individuals around the property were not following the minimum 10 feet from building smoking rule, and someone was in the parking directly in front of rooms spray painting a water pump from a ram truck he was actively working on. In its current condition I'd consider this location dilapidated, unsafe, unclean, unkept, poorly maintained, and not effectively managed.

No live person at night to check in. There is a virtual agent. The check in was not a problem, but it’s nice to have a live human in front of you. The property is old and run down. The rooms are extremely dirty. There was black mold in the bathroom. Food was left in the microwave. There was urine stains down the side of the toilet. Paint is chipped everywhere. I would not stay here again.

If your coning for Halloweentown just drive back to Portland and stay there! This place is one of the worst hotels I've stayed at. Its dirty wirh hair in the bed, the a/c & heater didn't work, theres no one working here you check in at a kiosk using skype, the walls are paper thin, and the pillows are a sad excuse and are flat and lifeless like they've been used for 10 years or more. Plus you only get 2 and theres no one to get more from or to change them out. I swear i can here the neighbor's conversation word for word through the wall. Can't fall asleep because it's too hot and noisy plus i can't get over the disgusting feeling this place gives you. Oh and it smells musty!

I stayed at this property from October 11-14 and it was the worst hotel stay I’ve ever experienced. For starters, there was no one in the office at any point during my stay. I was only able to speak to someone through Skype whenever I went in. The room was disgusting as far as cleanliness goes. The toilet paper roll was clearly used by the previous guest and there was hair on the floor and inside the shower. The sheets had little black hairs on them and yellow and red stains. The light in the room didn’t work and anything we plugged into the outlet just fell out. There was a party next door the first night we stayed and the music played into the next morning. There was sharpie writing on the wall and the floor was so gross. There were crumbs everywhere. I tried to email and call to file a complaint and each time I called, the line would go dead after about 5 minutes of being on hold. It has been impossible to get ahold of anyone.

We stayed here because it’s the closest hotel to halloween town. The rooms were clean but there was ants in the bathroom everywhere. Someone on the computer greeted us to check in. Besides that i don’t have much to say, it’s a motel and stayed here because it’s 1 of the 2 closest in st helen’s for where we were going.

Two stars is pretty generous. Check in is done through a kiosk with a virtual clerk. Feels very ‘welcome to Costco, I love you’. Room was freezing, and so old and crusty. It was as clean as it could be considering everything seemed to be from the 70’s. The heater was busted and didn’t work. Towels smelt like smoke. Toilet was leaking all over the bathroom floor. Walls are paper thin, heard the neighbors partying (loud music and shouting) all night. Dogs barking through the night, dog and people hair all up in the bedding. The music was still playing when we got up at 6:00am. OYO was the only hotel available in town when we booked a few months ago. Chatted with another couple staying there waiting to settle out at the Kozy Corner diner, their room was covered in black mold and had food left in it from previous guests. It’s only in business because it’s one of two hotels in Halloweentown and is very clearly run by a shady oversees business. Should have been a $60.00 a night stay instead of the $130.00 it cost. 10/10 would not recommend.

Chose this hotel (motel) in town for Halloweentown. It was close and we ended up loving the city of St Helens. But, right when we walked into our room, it REAKED of old cigarette smoke that never went away. The beds were hard as rocks and we had 2 pancake flat pillows per bed. There was black mold growing in the corners of the tub and we found three spiders in the bathroom during our 3 night stay
