The staff was very friendly. We were given a handicap room ( we didnt ask for or need) the shower hose was broke and fell out, the bathroom floor was soaked, and we had to go to the desk for towels. Would I stay here again. Yes, room for improvement, and the friendly staff made up for the inconvienence

Great stay, reccomend.

The staff were so friendly and helpful, the hotel itself was clean from all I could see, the pool wasn’t great it was kinda like bath water, and just sitting on the outside edge of it with my feet in made my eyes burn I assume due to chemicals. The beds were very comfy, air conditioning worked great in my room. Nice sized TV, there are a couple food places within walking distance, and a Kroger just 3/4 minutes up the street. I didn’t explore too much around town as we were there for an appointment at WSU medical center. I definitely recommend this hotel, the breakfast was also great.
