Awful place. No staff anywhere - you have to call on an intercom and 10 minutes later someone drives up to check you in. My room / TV didn’t work, air con only on a central timer at night so uncomfortable, shower made a loud screeching noise when used, bathroom door had a hole in it. Dog fee ridiculously expensive. Don’t recommend this place to anyone.

I would never recommend anyone stay at Magnuson my wife and i arrived at the hotel and had to be buzzed in. Check in went okay. We arrived at our room which was at the end of the block at the rear of the property, next to our door was a broken Pepsi vending machine, a broken toilet, a seat to be used in the shower for a handicapped person a garbage can had not been emptied and was overflowing. Entering the room we found it to be in need of renovation the floor which was a composite material was taped together in places, worst of all was left over food in the refrigerator which was going moldy and a opened bottle of wine, the bathroom door had a hole kicked in it that made the whole experience worse . We left to get lunch close by, and discuss the condition of the room, we made a decision to leave and find a different place to stay.

This was my 5th time staying here. It’s a good value for the money but this time there was Duct tape on the floor and areas that were a trip hazard. That is not acceptable and will be the last time I stay here!
