This is a nice basic motel. I've stayed here many times, and love it. If you're looking for a nice motel with a retro vibe, look no further. (If you like Schitt's Creek, you'll love this motel.) The train(s) can be a bit loud, but there's usually only one or two per night. Most of the rooms are really well-maintained, but there may be some that need a little work. This has the feel of a family-owned motel, and is wonderful.

Was comfortable and clean. Not enough amenities. No cups, not enough washcloths or soaps for two people. Train too close to tracks. No information about breakfast or wifi on property. Too expensive for what you get.

The beds were terrible and the shower nozzles didn’t have good pressure. I wasn’t happy with the TV size or the kitchenette. I don’t plan on ever returning although the customer service was adequate. This surrounding area is very nice. Thank you.

For the price, the Fairground Inn is wonderful! My only real complaint is that my bathtub was missing the little stopper. This is a basic hotel, but it does have a pretty good breakfast--the hard boiled eggs were cooked perfectly, the cereal was fresh, they had Sunny D(!) and milk, and nice yogurts! I'll definitely be back!

Very convenient location from the Evergreen state fairgrounds where we attended an event. Friendly people and decent breakfast options for the price we paid for a night’s stay.

I will never stay at the Fairground Inn again. Better to drive an extra 30-45 minutes than stay here. It was dirty, the sheets were stained, the mattresses felt like they were purchased from the dump. The tub drain was obviously clogged and when I requested the front desk handle it, nobody did. The place should be condemned.
