Clean, new, comfortable decor

I've been in a rut of staying in places with very strong smelling cleaning products lately so this was such a pleasant change- just clean with no overpowering stink! The tv is a little complicated for me, I prefer a single remote.Also prefer an ac/ heater that I can just run the fan all night for some white noise which I couldn't figure out how to do. User error, perhaps. Moderate sound proofing to hallway. Good breakfast selection.

We came in late but it felt pretty secure. The staff was waiting for us. We left early in the morning so we didn't get to much of a chance to check things out.

Found a CLEAN gem of a hotel!

This isnthe first hotel ive stayed in that didnt smell like a hotel. It was CLEAN. Even the sheets and cover smelled like it was right out of the dryer. And the blanket on the bed was an actual thick comforter..not a flimsy coverlet like most hotels. I actually slept really well because of it. And i never get good hotel sleep. The breakfast had a good variety and i noticed that the staff was constantly attending it and checking on things. Every interaction with the staff was a very lovely conversation. The price was fantastic for what it offered. 10/10 would stay here again and recommend.

3 day stay

Convenient location near The Collection Mall where my grandson was playing in a basketball tournament in the Fieldhouse. 5 min away. Also close to the Mukleshoot casino where we killed some time. Room was clean and beds were comfortable. The vanity for the vanity for the sink was very small so we weren't able to put out our "bathroom stuff" like we like to. The shower was great. The breakfast was so-so. No waffles. I appreciated they had a pot of rice, as most hotels I have found don't. The rest of the selection of breakfast was standard hotel stuff. The coffee was excellent, but the machine makes one cup at a time, so there was no way to "top off your cup" without brewing an entire cup. Also, no hot chocolate was offered, on a rainy cold morning and there were quite a few kids around. My son was disappointed about that. But all in all, it was a nice stay.

Great, especially if you like trains

We loved the room we had, the only major complaint we had was that the train passed by every hour or so, including all night long. It was quite loud and woke us up multiple times. Maybe it wouldnt be as bad at another end of the building, just where we were it was very noisy. Other than that, it is a very nice hotel, service was very friendly and room felt clean and very roomy

Nice place. First time staying there. We visited from Juneau AK. I read the reviews before booking. If you come from a fairly quiet city, beware of the trains that come rumbling through. Didn’t really bother me, bothered my other half though.
