Will stay again
Great place to stay. The room was clean, spacious and comfy. Will stay there again. The breakfast was mostly packaged baked goods and cereal, yogurt and fruit were also available. The restaurant next door was very good!

We always enjoy staying here on our road trips back toward home. It is clean, the beds are comfortable, the staff is friendly and there’s a great brewery right next door.

0/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND
This place is a dump and has bugs. All the rooms smell like smoke and the AC was broken, no refund partial or otherwise, the manger dodged my calls for a week. I called every day I still bug bites from this nasty place. Also, there is no breakfast. They put out a few containers of juice and a handful of prepackaged pastries.

No one works here
No ac in the room and the staff refused to do anything about it. The manager dodges calls and i couldn’t sleep as it was over 90 degrees. The bathtub was visibly dirty, trash under the bed and in a drawer. No breakfast, just coffee and juice at 8:30 when I got there.

The simple price for quality is unmatched. The rooms are easily comparable to hotels that cost twice as much.

Wonderful for the price
Everything was better than we expected except the breakfast. The breakfast was really grab and go. It worked for us but others may be disappointed.

Unimpressed.
Every time I've stayed here the keys only work for one day and I have to keep getting them fixed. When I asked the person behind the counter about it they didn't give me an answer just a blank stare.

Mine was just an overnight stay after visiting friends in Walla Walla, WA. Returning to my home in Vancouver, WA. I was pleasantly surprised to find such a well-appointed room with what appeared to be a nicely updated facility. Thank you.

Nice budget hotel. Rooms are clean and renovated. Staff was extremely helpful and welcoming. I would have liked a couple more pillows and the bed was clean but on the hard side. The room had a nice desk and chair and there were plenty of places to plug in electronics. Breakfast was minimal. We skipped it. This property looks a bit rough on the outside so the nice room was a pleasant surprise. The shower worked well.

Booked what we thought was a hotel with a pool, but their pool was pretty rundown looking and closed for maintenance. It was very disappointing, definitely wouldn't have booked it had we known beforehand. Room was clean, beds were ok. Will probably stay somewhere else if we find ourselves back in that area again.

Although very modest from the exterior, the rooms are clean, relatively spacious, and the beds are comfortable.
