The breakfast was marginally OK. Waffles with no butter or margarine. No fresh fruit. No bread, toast or muffins. No yogurt. No hot cereal and only sugar coated dry cereals. The hot drink options were, however, very good. The room was adequate, however the space was run down with lights that didn’t work or flickered, an outlet that didn’t work and paint peeling in the bathroom. Also the bathroom door was damaged, mended with tape and didn’t close correctly or lock.

Friendly service but not the cleanest place

It was a one night stay and nothing really special. A hand towel had something brown on it and there was long hair in the bed. The lady at the front desk was really nice. The breakfast was waffle machine and I think Tang or watery OJ. The price was cheap

Stayed here last minute unfortunately. Room was disgusting, floors and walls were filthy I’m pretty sure there was semen on the wall that hadn’t been cleaned spider webs and dead bugs, smelled musty, curtains were falling off the window, bathroom light didn’t work. Shower head was broken and tub was slow to drain. The towels and the bed had hair on them. You only get 2 pillows and they’re dirty. Bed makes all kinds of noise. Place is run down,0/10 do not recommend staying here.

Gross

We stayed here one night on our roadtrip from So. Cal to Seattle because it was convenient and inexpensive. The exterior looked nice enough and the lady at the front desk was friendly. Unfortunately, the room smelled like it had been sprayed with a ton of Febreze to cover up the fact that it was barely cleaned. There was human hair on the bedding and the floors were dirty. The lower part of the walls were brown and disintegrating in places (possible mold..?) There were kids stickers on the mirror. The bath towels were about as big as a hand towel, no hairdryer and no bedside lamps (just very bright spotlights). We would have left after seeing (smelling) the room but is was after 11pm at this point and we were exhausted. Don't stay here unless you're really on a budget and can overlook odor and filth.

Looks like they did a partial remodel! not very good work, instead of replacing the shower stall they just painted it! I walked in the room and the curtains were hanging off the curtain rod, cigarette butts all around the property, but you get what you pay for!
