This place had no television service. They told me they're been waiting 7 weeks for Direct TV to install a system but I find that hard to believe. My guess is they've never had service and never will. Also the window air conditioner in my room provided no cooling and once again they had an excuse saying they were unaware of the problem and had several new ac units in inventory and would replace the one in my room now that they knew about the problem. Another thing I didn't like was there was no vanity in the bathroom just sink about 11/2 feet square with essential no place to put your accessories such as toothpaste, razor, etc. I won't be staying here again.On the plus side the refrigerator and microwave were functional and the bed was comfortable.

Stayed for 3 nights. They claim they don’t service the rooms during your stay but they entered our room each day. On the second day we returned to find the lights on and the door ajar. Nothing seemed to be missing but when I inquired at the front desk she stated that was odd since they don’t service the rooms during your stay. They had swapped out our towels and emptied trash, just didn’t close the door!

Nobody Cares hotel !!

We stayed there for 3 nights to visit Mt.Rainier. We paid over $600 for a family suite and the whole time the TV didn't work. The pool was drained.They never clean our suite for the 3 days even we put the sign out to ask them to clean it.I finally walked to the front desk on the late day to tell them to clean our suite. 2 of the workers came by and dropped off the towels.1 dropped off 2 rolls of toilet paper right on the dining table. She won't even bother to put them in the bathroom. The suite was not cleaned once and the garbage was not emptied all 3 days.It was one of the worse hotel that we stayed in.

Stayed here the night before a race, and having a pizza place next door is a huge bonus. The room was lack luster, the small tv didnt work, and there was a little drip from the bathroom sink. The grounds look a little unkept. Not terrible experience, but also do not think it was worth what i paid.

The TV was broken. The control for the shower was broken. The handle to the refrigerator was broken. The molding along the carpet was torn out and not repaired. The swimming pool was broken. The bed mattress was old and had collapsed. When we complained we were told that this is why the price ($156) was so cheap! Insulting and outrageous…”

This property is currently undergoing renovation and is not yet ready for business. The facilities and furniture are outdated. On the positive side, the beds were clean with no bugs. The staff is attentive—they listen to complaints and respond promptly. Overall, you get what you pay for, but don't expect more at this stage.
