The hotel is like new since the remodel. Very clean, very nice environment. Everything except some of the Gen Z wingnut employees made the stay great. Can't blame the hotel for the asocial idiots they are forced to hire.

Everything was just right. Polite employees, quick response time on requesting backed up tub drain, very clean and comfortable room and good breakfast, one of the better Continental breakfasts in town. It was served before 7:00 a.m. and all of the workers were upbeat and pleasant. Will definitely stay here again for our Mount Baker trips
