The propery was nicer than we expected inside. Our only frustration was the numerous key card failures that caused access inconvience to entry of the motel. Thanks for being dog friendly!
Mine was just an overnight stay after visiting friends in Walla Walla, WA. Returning to my home in Vancouver, WA. I was pleasantly surprised to find such a well-appointed room with what appeared to be a nicely updated facility. Thank you.

Nice budget hotel. Rooms are clean and renovated. Staff was extremely helpful and welcoming. I would have liked a couple more pillows and the bed was clean but on the hard side. The room had a nice desk and chair and there were plenty of places to plug in electronics. Breakfast was minimal. We skipped it. This property looks a bit rough on the outside so the nice room was a pleasant surprise. The shower worked well.
Booked what we thought was a hotel with a pool, but their pool was pretty rundown looking and closed for maintenance. It was very disappointing, definitely wouldn't have booked it had we known beforehand. Room was clean, beds were ok. Will probably stay somewhere else if we find ourselves back in that area again.
We always enjoy staying here on our road trips back toward home. It is clean, the beds are comfortable, the staff is friendly and there’s a great brewery right next door.

The room was fine, clean and included all the basics. However, the walls and first floor ceiling are "paper thin"! I could easily hear normal conversations from the rooms on either side, and a lot of noise from the room above. Lastly, there is no "breakfast" -- only three Hostess pastry selections and coffee.
Everything was better than we expected except the breakfast. The breakfast was really grab and go. It worked for us but others may be disappointed.

Not maintaining high customer rating
Dizzying carpet; second building quite separate from first with unobvious entrances; breakfast offered good juice choices, but not much for food; pool undergoing maintenance
