Pool is great. Rudy does a wonderful job of providing a clean and healthy breakfast Our Grandson loves the pancake machine. We have stayed here several times
Dorothy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good stay

Great friendly staff. The gym for the facility was a pretty decent commercial gym beside the hotel. Breakfast was pretty good as well. The Japanese toilet was also a surprise. My only qualm about the property was that it appears to be a wood frame building. You could hear everything. The people above me woke up at 4am and the sound of rolling luggage, shower and flushing toilet woke me up. Good stat overall

Every staff member we met was so helpful, friendly and professional. The hotel was just refurbished so our room was great! Two small things that would have been nice: a guide on the TV and a freezer compartment in the fridge. Highly recommend this hotel.

This is my second stay at this hotel. I needed a quick, quiet, clean place to stay before the Chuckanut 50k trail run. I appreciate the proximity to restaurants, especially Starbucks which opens at 5am. If I run this race again, I will absolutely book this hotel again.
Sonja, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Frustrating down time—TV fiasco.

The only disappointment was with the TV. There was not a guide to see what is playing when. Just flipping through channels to try to see what’s on and finally turning it off because you can’t really know what you’re watching or how far into the program you are. VERY frustrating. There should be a program guide available.
