We were not expecting the 4 Seasons but this hotel was far below our expectations. Run down, restaurant closed, no breakfast. But what really broke it for us was that the floor of our room had not been mopped in a long time. We spilled so water and mopped it up with a towel, the towel came back black as soot. My wife refused to even spend one night and we left immediately and went to a nicer placer right up the street.

We had a nice Non-Smoking 2 double bedroom at the Magnuson, you could tell that the owners were improving the property, but the floors were very dirty. My bare feet felt sticky and when I put on socks they got dirty. There was visible dirt on the bathroom floor behind the door and around the toilet and tub. There were cigarette burn marks on the tub. The room smelled of cigarette smoke.

This property is outdated and dirty. The carpet had a spot that looked like was eaten by acid. The bathroom was filthy and the towels were stained. I have pics, not sure I’m able to post them on this sight. It’s a place to lay your head, that’s about it.

We reserved a king bed room, when we arrived, staff was great! Greeted with a smile, very friendly! But when we arrived to the room, there was black spots all over the walls, when I pulled the bed runner back, there was mold all over it.. I looked at my wife, and said grab all our stuff, and let’s get out of here. We went back to the front desk, offered a different room, she walked with us to inspect, first sight it was ok. We agreed to stay. We were researching the area, turned on a lamp to read, and the back side of the lamp was smashed in. I looked closer and there was black spots all over these walls too????? I would not recommend this place to anyone..

Needs help

The beds were full size not queens as requested. The room was clean, and well kept. I was a little put off by having to park my car at the other end of the building from my room. I was also upset that the restaurant kitchen was closed for remodeling. We had stayed here a few years ago, and had fond memories of the restaurant. I hope it will be open again before our next visit. I hope in the future that whomever makes the decisions on the motel, reconsiders the coffee that is in the rooms, I know its complimentary but it is by far the worst coffee we ever tried to drink By all means if you need help choosing a new one please contact me.

We ended up leaving early and didn’t stay the 2nd night. The television didn’t work, no stoppers in bathtub, and the hair dryer was arcing when my wife tried to use it. Went to the front desk to talk about the issue and only suggestion was to switch rooms.
