This hotel is older but decent. I had room #24 and it has a kitchen but no cookware or dishes. King bed was comfy. Place was clean just older
- 3/5
It is clean but very sparce and old. It has a fridge and microwave, and TV, with internet. Hasn't been painted or updated for years. 5 tiny soaps and a shampoo. No Kleenex or napkins. It was ok but not what you would expect in a modern space. There is no turn lane into the property from one direction, to legally turn you approach from the west not east side, awkward. Food Access all within 5 miles that was good.

I was just down for one night for business. The room was decent-sized and even had a little kitchenette. The motel is a bit older, and it shows, but overall for the price it was a decent room.

Out of the way for everything.

It was what you'd expect in a low rent unit. We just needed a bed for 10 hours and it was sufficient.

Toilet leaked, floors were warped, so you trip walking across them.

Shower pressure and the height of the shower head. Toilet leaked, floors were warped, so you trip walking across them.

Location wasn't bad. Shampoo bottle and soap bar packs were dusty/dirty. The towels had a dead bug and a hair on them. There was hair on the chair and dirt on the floor. Toothpaste on the bathroom floor. Last guest's coffee was still in the coffee pot.

Quiet and room was comfortable. There was a guy that greeted us in the parking lot. He had a broom in hand. We thought he was a worker but not sure. After we checked in he met us outside was very creepy and told us we could have stayed for free in a room that the door was opened. Not sure if it was his room or not. But it creeped us out as we were two women on our own. If we had seen him when we came back from our event, we would have left and asked for a refund. Very inappropriate if he does work for you.

Trying to book a room on the way there but they pop me up a note that said sorry somebody else already got your room you got to get another one and then there wasn't any available then they charged me for the room and I never went there and I stayed at some dump downtown for the same price and they didn't get my reservation either so I had to pay three times for one room just cuz you guys wouldn't accept my reservation stupid app I mean it's super confusing when they say he reservation you didn't get got canceled cuz somebody you took too long and somebody else got your room and then they charge you for the room anyway and you never even got to stay there when you wanted booking.com is a complete f****** ripoff b******* f****** app f****** don't want to refund your money after they f****** rip you off f****** three times f****** b******* had to pay $350 more than I made all day that day and no recourse real great I left a message to about it no one even bother to get back from you just f****** careless machines out there I didn't like the fact they told me I didn't get my room after they said it was reserved and then they pop up a note and said somebody else got it first and then they charged me for it and say I had it after I already slept in some other dump got to pay three times for one dumpy ass s*** room anyway it's probably booking.com so I don't know who's the f****** scam artist they always act like you got a room reserved then you get there oh we don't have a reservation we don't know nothing about I got a reservation number you still can't get the room and you got to pay again with your credit card that's what happened to me that was my experience until they clean that s*** up I don't think there's going to be very good reviews

Our stay was wonderful but the room was not what we thought is was the false advertisement but it was in a nice area

The good thing was the bed was comfortable. And a 100$ damage deposit required????? Wow.
- 4/5
Inexpensive, good location, not bad if you just need a bed for the night. Not the nicest place in the world but we would definitely stay again.

Nasty and dirty

Just a very low quality motel, especially for the cost
- 2/5
Even though they claim it’s a non smoking facilities. My room smelled of cigarettes. Because of my allergies I found the room very uncomfortable.
- 2/5
Totally misrepresented on Expedia. Property is in horrible condition. We were willing to accept that the second queen was really only a double, but after one night and seeing more disrepair and filth at every turn, we had expedia cancel and refund the next night so we could go to an acceptable accommodation. Moldy and disintegrated caulk, moldy shower curtain, damaged doors, stained toilet, dead spiders and spider webs. Place needs completely renovated. We did not ask for a different room because it was obvious the whole property was in need of repair.
- 3/5
Definitely an older property. Bed was too firm. Bathroom was ridiculous in room 27, toilet behind the door partly under sink like an old school desk.
- 5/5
I really liked that it was a quaint little hotel that is tucked in a small valley next too a creek. It is an older hotel, and6 beautifully maintained.
- 1/5
On the positive side, if there is one, it was relatively quiet because our room is in the back and there are two so called bedrooms.
- 2/5
it is not clean. Its noisier. big room but unclean. lots of noises during the early morning. etc.
- 2/5
Each time my parner and i have stayed, it seems like the housekeeping doesnt do their job. I have found panties, drugs, needs and over all dirtninrss the times i have been here. The rooms are small and quiet, and if given a proper cleaning, would ve. Ery excellent rooms worth the money yhey ask for per night.

So, I bought a night at this place for 130 and I even think 60 would have been paying far too much. I thought the reviews looked pretty good so I went ahead and booked it. Check in was fast and easy, then I get to the room. There were stains on the comforter which wasn’t a great start, the room just looked scary. The kicker was when we got in bed and I pulled the sheets back to find multiple dead ants sharing the space with us, paid $130 to sleep in my car. Worst pet was no one was there after we had checked in or checked out so I couldn’t even try to get my money back

It was clean. Not family friendly

My room smells like people have smoked in it for 1000 years. Aweful smell.
- 1/5
The bed was very uncomfortable, walls were so thin you could hear the conversations of the other rooms. the shower was not leveled that the water would leak out onto the carpet. The carpet was dirty. The coverings on the bed were pretty.
- 4/5
The rooms are a little outdated but very comfortable. The staff were great and attentive. Unfortunately my stay was cut short as I was transferred to Bellingham after a week there.
- 3/5
The lady was nice about not taking the full deposit and wasn't an issue to have it returned. Yet...the room had a odd smell, carpet was badly stained, the bed was not comfortable at all, and the sheets and cigarette burns. Other than that the stay was great. Needed to visit family & the room assisted with that.
- 1/5
Required a $100 deposit up front for a room that was worth less than a $100. Website states that it’s a hotel but don’t be fooled, it’s a rundown motel with lower standards than your average motel. From a cleanliness standpoint the room smelled like mildew and body odor, the pillows and sheets had stains on them, the towels were also stained and had hair embedded in them, there was mold on the walls in the bathroom, a build up of water and hair behind the sink, and the fridge wasn’t clean. From a comfort standpoint the bed was very stiff making it difficult to get comfortable, we woke up the next morning sore and tired. This place has potential due to its location but something needs to be done to raise the standards.

Dirty we couldn't and wouldn't stay there and they wouldn't give us our money back . Would take this off your list as there was another couple doing the same thing -

It was OK the bathroom fan did not suck air through the vent. The tub dripped the whole time. Some maintenance and some cleaning would be good.
- 2/5
Front office was closed when we arrived before midnight, and we were told we almost lost our reservation. However, there is no information on the website indicating a check-in time cutoff. The front desk worker also forgot to give me my ID back.

The room was big with a kitchen and full refrigerator.

the room was large, separate bedrooms, 2 access doors. Bakery nearby

The hotel was very old and not kept up well at all. The kitchen area reminded me of a ghetto scene from a bad movie, peeling paint all around and a dirty, musty smell. The carpet had holes, the bathroom was not cleaned well and the toilet flushed poorly!
- 1/5
First of all the lady at the front desk says we don't have a valid reservation and there were no rooms available. She was absolutely zero help after that. Not even interested in suggesting another place. On top of all this when we booked it said we could pay when we arrived but that didn't stop them from charging our card 1 week before we got there and then telling me there was no reservation made by hotels.com. I'm reporting fraud on both the hotel and hotels.com what an awful experience. I will never use this site again!
- 5/5
Office people were nice and Friendly. Room was spacious and had a full kitchen. Shower was a little short but very nice.

This little hotel is very old and desperately needs updating. Bed was very comfortable and the sheets were nice. NO BLOWDRYER. TV was adequate. Priced right for the very busy weekend when all hotels were full. Great grocery store/deli just 2 doors down - no wine or beer. Stay here only if no other options in your price range. Staff was very nice.
- 2/5
The room was neat and clean. Never again.

The dark brown carpet that is so dirty. The bed like something out of a mobile home from the seventies. The whole place is filthy and run down from the top to the bottom. I've stayed at a lot of motels and this is the second worst I have ever stayed in for the last 40 years. I had to leave a cash deposit. When leaving they would not respond to the bell and then said that I did not leave a deposit luckily I had a receipt or they would not of given it back. If you book this place you will be sorry and they will not give you your money back.

Room was ok and clean. I thought the 89.00 per day was a little on the high side.

As soon as walked in room there was an empty condom package on night stand ..went up and brought it to there attention..all they did was walk through remove it...didnt reclean room or even offer too.this made my 2 days VERY UNCOMFORTABLE .NEEDLES TO SAY IT RUINED THE STAY.
- 2/5
Hotel was a throwback; probably built in the late 40s or early 50s. Mostly empty and my wife said it reminded her of the Bates Motel in the movie. The office seemed distrustful and required my wife and I to both produce driver''s licenses which they made a copy of with the statement "you cannot be too careful in the motel business these days." Room had ancient stove and refrigerator in the room with absolutely no utensils for cooking. Cabinet which held the 25" picture tube TV was homemade plywood from the 1950's. Adjoining room occupants, which might have been the owners, we're very noisy until 9:00-9:30.
- 4/5
Almost a good value for the money; it would have been if it were 10 dollars cheaper; however, it was one of the cheapest places on the search in the Portland-Vancouver area. The bed was comfortable and I had no complaints about the room. For a value inn it was good. No complaints about the neighborhood; it seemed quite nice. The bed was very comfortable.
- 3/5
The sheets were quite stained and everything we received from the front desk was also dirty. The staff was pleasant and helpful.

Very comfortable. We were just passing through and needed a place to stay. We arrived well before check in time but they were very accommodating.

When I arrived and entry the room OMG the room is not clean at all. Frigobar, microwave and toilet very dirty and I found one paper( McDonald's) receipt dated of Aug/12/2017 and I arrived Aug/18/2017. So definitely terrible.
- 2/5
Spiders all over the ceiling, front desk lady had no customer service no conversation just the transaction, gave me wrong directions to the room. The room was a janky loft type room with a 13" tv. When pictures of the Internet had flat screens. Never coming here again
- 5/5
There is a pride in the property that shows. It's not the Ritz but if you want to stay in a nice quiet well kept motel this is the place.
- 3/5
The room was large and clean. We were surprised to have a full kitchen and living room. We stayed 5 nights and our only disappointment was that maid service only cleaned our room once.
- 3/5
Room was clean and reasonably comfortable. Check in and check out was efficient and pleasant. Price was too high. $60 or $70 would have been more in line with that type of room.

Rooms are huge. The woman that runs the place is very nice. Area was good. I was definitely pleasantly surprised. Hotel is old but well cared for. Felt safe with just myself and my 2 kids.

it was not a bad experience but it wasn't great either the hotel manger or lady was very nice considering how late we arrived and this website had to call because i was at the wrong hotel first. t
- 5/5
Charming, small, and a blast from the past. This is one of those places that I'll say "I don't want it to become popular". The lady that handled the desk was super nice and understanding about things, she told me exactly what I needed to do when I was speaking to her about my situation. The room was pretty dang big, and had plenty of storage space for at least a week's stay. Small fridge and a small microwave were set up and the shower had great water pressure. The commode was in an awkward spot but it was manageable. Slight damage to the wall in one hard to see spot (I saw it but my family never saw it) but nothing that had me worried the wall was leaking or going to fall through. The beds were very nice! I've stayed at hotels that charged 3x more and had less comfy beds/pillows. Pleasant surprise. I hope they stay in business for a long time.

This place is disgusting! It's dirty and everything is super old! On top of that the bed is super uncomfortable! Spend the extra 15$ on a better hotel they charge to much for it being such. Crappy hotel!

- 4/5
The only negative thing is you couldn't really take a bath. I have cerebral palsy and like to take baths since it is hard for me to stand and wash. Even with a plug that I brought myself, it didn't really work. The cleaning service was excellent! She did a great job. I was able to keep the same room as I needed to stay longer. If the bath worked, I would rate it 5 stars! Instead 4.
- 2/5
Bed very uncomfortable. Was In severe pain in neck, back and shoulders from bed. Room was fairly clean but in need of a thorough deep cleaning.
- 2/5
The room was surprisingly better than expected- the only thing is it took a long time for the showers to get hot water...the bed felt like we were sleeping on a boxspring mattress only-it was really hard. we aren't picky people so please understand that we don't over criticize. we had to move the cabinet that held the tv in order to see it from where the bed was. and it was a old tube tv. other than that the staff was really nice- it was quiet- close to shopping- and it was inexpensive. we won't chose that hotel again because of the bed alone. we left a day early because of that reason alone.
- 5/5
awesome

The mattress was just terrible

Room was over priced. Bed was very hard and uncomfortable. Room needed maintence in that it had mold on bath ceiling and walls, although the room was clean, the rug needs to be replaced. Just the whole motel is old and rundown. New bed covers, which they had, can't fix it all.
- 4/5
A smal motel around 25 minutes away from Portland. Staff was helpful and friendly. Had a oven and fridge which is a plus forthoise who want to save money and eat healthy. Close to a supermarket and lot's of ogther retail as well as the highway.

Have stayed here a few times based on convenience and ease of access when traveling to Seattle. Nice large rooms which many hotel chains would market at 'suites' - sitting areas and full kitchens are a definite plus. Decor and style are stale late-70's to early-80's but clean. Bathroom and kitchen fixtures have been updated and bedding and linens were fine. Not great but fine.

Shocked you even book this place. Won't be using Expedia ever again.
- 3/5
It was a bit disappointing. I thought it was a different hotel that I knew and it was not. It is an older place with slow wi-fi and old tube tv. I referred friends to this place before I checked in. When my friends arrived and saw the older condition of the place and the small simple room and old tv. They refused their room and were given a much better room. It had a little better tv and lots more space.
- 1/5
Had the worst hotel stay in 35 years. Room smelled of mold, crawling bugs in room, springs on bed hurt our backs, no house keeping service, wi-fi was SLOW, ice maching was broken. Wish I could give it a zero star! Paid over $82 for the night. You couldn't get us to stay there again even if it was free! Stay away from this MOTEL!
- 5/5
I really like this place, the owners are great! We have stayed here twice now, the first time it was by chance because our original hotel wouldn't accommodate us and they were kind enough to make a way to accommodate our family. The second our kitchette didn't work and I told them, they were very kind and upgraded our room. I would stay here again as well as recommend to others.

Rooms were small, big driveway in gravel road out, housekeeping did not come one day, owner/ manager very friendly and helpful.

That was dirty you need to be washed beds are hard as a rock smells like smoke do not expect to do business with me ever again this is the third time I have specifically asked for a hotel room has a soft bed considering I have a bad back and the people that answer your phone do not care

I was Thankful to get a room on such short notice. It was very spacious; we arrived later than anticipated. The lady at front office was Very accommodating especially at 3 a.m. And again at 6 a.m for extra coffee! It's not fancy but accommodating!

For the money I was charged, I would have been better staying in a Motel 6.
- 1/5
The room is supposed to be non-smoking but we were welcomed with a strong smell of smoke in the room. The bed sheets were not changed, obviously someone just checked out and the housekeeper did not changed the linen. We slept in dirty sheets for the 1st 2 nights of our stay eventhough we notified the hotel staff about it. Housekeeping staff didn't make any good job either - did not clean the bathroom as expected. We had to buy and put Bounce fabric sheets all over the room to make it smelling fresh at least as we are very disgusted with the smell of the room every time we go back to our suite from outing. The housekeeping staff also left our room unlocked and we felt unsafe for all our stuff in the room.
- 3/5
What we expected for the price. Staff was pleasant and helpful. Hotel has seen better days, but it was comfortable, clean, and close to everything we needed in town. Will stay again.

If the above is not enough, imagine when you checked in and you ask for a handicap room, you are being assigned to the back of the motel where it faces an abandoned field with grasses growing 4 feet tall and with no fences, it is setting perfect for being jumped by strangers in the dark at night. Then a few days in, one morning, you just use your toilet as usual, it all of a sudden flooded like the amazon river at high tide non-stop! You franatically called the front desk to send someone in your room to help, you were told there was no one there to help you, and you were told why don't you help yourself by turning off the water value. By that time, the water had now flooded from the bathroom into your bedroom and kitchen. Then 15 minutes, the front desk clerk blatantly handed you a bucket and the mop and asked you to do the "do it yourself" dance. How ridiculous is this???? I asked the clerk what she planned to remedy the situation. She said nothing. I asked her where is the hotel owner, and I wanted to talk to her. She said she was out-of-town and could not be reached by phone calls. Horrifying experience!!!!
- 5/5
I went there as a place to stay after seeing a concert (since I lived out of town) Is this a brand new room with the most fancy accommodations at your fingertips? No. But that isn't a fair judgement when you make a purchase of a very fair rate for a good located older Inn. It had an old feeling to it, which I find just fine... and everything was clean and quiet. PERFECT! They set us up with a room in the back which had stairs and also a small patio. It was cool although we didn't really get a chance to take advantage of it seeing we weren't staying in the room much. I think it was a GREAT place for the price we paid and very well located since we went to a Clark county fair concert. Id say an update is getting a little better TVs, nothing fancy just something a little bit better than what they have. I don't have a really bad complaint at all. Thumbs up!

The bed and pillows were very comfortable and the room had a nice kitchenett. I would suggest replacing the coffee pot with a new one or, giving the current one a really good inside cleaning.
