The Inn was exactly what it advertises itself to be. It was close to the airport with a shuttle. The rooms and exterior areas were clean. The entire staff was a pleasure to interact with. The grab and go breakfast had a wide variety of items to choose from and was regularly replenished. I visited multiple times for coffee!

James, at the desk, was delightful and welcoming. The bathroom is almost bigger than the room. I think the pillows are made of a solid piece of concrete.

Had a great stay at Golden North Inn. It’s not fancy but clean, safe, walking distance to Fred Meyer, provides free airport shuttle, and has decent continental breakfast. The staff are very helpful and welcoming. The bed was comfortable.
