Very nice helpful
Employees and the breakfast was a very good
selection for continental. This is an older
Motel style but clean and ok for a short
stay
The room was small but in very good condition and clean. Staff was outstanding. Having the airport shuttle was wonderfully convenient. Also loved having breakfast on site.
Location was great but the room was very small. We moved furniture so that I could get out of the bed. I was next to the wall and needed to exit at the bottom of the queen sized bed. There are bigger rooms but the standard room (1 bed) is fine for 1 person but would not recommend it for 2. Breakfast is simple. Staff was great. Room was clean.
This is a smaller hotel/motel. It is clean, cozy and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was spotless. We had difficulty getting the TV remote to work and maintenance came immediately and replaced it. Good continental breakfast with lots of choices. All the staff we dealt with were excellent. Their shuttle from the airport was quite efficient. Thanks!
Room and location very clean. Bed nice and comfortable. Breakfast was good. Great location. I would definitely stay here again

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
More of a motor lodge, doors open to the parking lot. The economy room was VERY small (could not leave a large suitcase open) was however very clean.
Free shuttle to/from airport and train depot was helpful.
Walking distance to Fred Meyer food, bus stop, and a couple fast food places.
I love that they’re dog friendly, and a very attentive, friendly and knowledgeable staff. I didn’t like a couple of experiences that I had with other guests but again, the staff were on top of those issues and were (and still are) amazing!
Outstanding little spot for travelers, staff was awesome and super helpful, room was small but soft bed and hot shower to relax was so great after tearing a tendon in my leg from a hike. Big thanks to the staff!!
