The rooms were clean but dark inside. Could have used brighter lamps or any overhead light in the main area of the room. The rooms seem a little worn and not that inviting. The price was appropriate for what was offered, and the view of the foothills was very nice. The room and surrounding areas were very quiet so it was easy to rest and sleep comfortably. The staff was nice but abrupt. I would stay there again. Thank you!

Staff was very courteous. The room was clean, freshly painted and they came and serviced the room one day during my stay which was very nice. The room was heavily fragranced with a vanilla air freshener that set off my allergies so that was unpleasant but not a huge problem. The biggest issue I had was it seems a particular type of worker used the room adjacent to mine and the guests were very VERY loud and easy to hear through the walls.

Hotels.com sucks

I didn’t actually stay at this hotel. I am Canadian and was looking for a hotel in Canada. When searching on hotels.com I mistakenly assumed they would filter our hotels in another country…so I booked a room and only a few minutes later realized it was in the USA. I immediately tried to cancel the reservation, but because I didn’t purchase the additional cancellation insurance I was told there was nothing they could do.

I will never use hotels.com again

Our experience at this inn was absolutely phenomenal—truly deserving of more than 5 stars! From the moment we checked in, everything was seamless and fast. We had booked two rooms for our family trip from San Diego to explore Vancouver and the surrounding nature, and the owner went above and beyond to place us in conveniently located rooms with beautiful mountain and nature views—perfect for sightseeing and even a few photoshoots!

The rooms were spotless, spacious, and well-equipped with everything we needed: comfy beds, a fridge, microwave, office space, and more. The peaceful neighborhood and abundance of parking (including spots right in front of the rooms and even in the open field) made our stay even more relaxing. We especially appreciated the quiet atmosphere—ideal for winding down after a day of adventures.

And the windmill design? Such a charming and unique touch!

We will definitely be back if we find ourselves visiting Washington state again. Highly recommend!

There's only a single piece of drywall separating you from the other rooms. The bathroom window doesn't lock so someone could get in and if you're standing near the bathroom window after the shower Beware. Someone can see in.

Upon entering hotel, loud talk radio was playing no one was at the front desk. I called the number. A lady walked into office and did not turn the music down. Had to talk with an elevated voice. The entire time went to room. There was a key left in the door knob which we could not remove Front desk Lady sent over what I’m assuming is their handyman an elderly gentleman he wiggled and wiggled the key finally got the key unjammed, then left we had issues locking, and then removing the key from the door knob. toilet paper roll holder was broken. With less than a 1/3 of a roll to use The rooms are very outdated and in disrepair very small room with two full-size beds, barely squeezed in hardly any room to move around the air conditioner is barely hanging on in the window one slight bump and it’ll probably fall out the window. The refrigerator has old nasty water that froze in it totally not worth the hundred dollars.

Not a nice place

We showed up and the woman asked if we had dogs. I saw that the motel was animal friendly. I told her we had dogs, 3 of them. Then she said the cost is $40. Each. And they had to stay in a kennel because she said that people complain about dirty rooms is dogs were allowed. So our dogs stayed in our vehicle. We went in side and the carpet was filthy but there was no bed bugs and the sheets were clean. The tv control was warn out so had to use the buttons on the tv. So we will never stay at this place again. The reason we did stay was because there were good reviews. Well it’s not good.

The room had good heat, there was a small fridge with a freezer that was very helpful (not the cleanest). The room also had a microwave. Bedding was clean. There was cable and WiFi.

The Con's: The room looked well used. There were scratches in the paint through the bathroom. The furniture was stained and well used. There were stains and small holes in the walls. The carpets had stains and runs in it. The toilet seat needed to be replaced. And there was no coffee pot.

Overall it was alright to sleep there but I would probably not return or recommend it. Sorry

When I checked in, the child at the desk gave me a key to a room that was occupied. Not once, but twice! Boy those were awkward conversations.

Once we got a room to ourselves, had to barricade the doors so the same wouldn’t happen to us.

Rooms are nominally non-smoking but smell like smoke. Hair and dirt in the sheets; likely hasn’t been washed between guests. Mold and leftover food in cupboards.

Overall a miserable experience- wouldn’t do this even if it were free; a tent would’ve been a more peaceful stay!

Comfortable, quirky little place

It's a small, dated place on the edge of town. Overall, it's not a bag place. The beds are comfortable and everything is clean. Be aware though, there is an RV park of sorts on the back side of the place. There is a phone number on the front door to call to check in or out since they are rarely in the office. If you don't call, you could be standing there for a long time. The a/c in the room was not working. The fan part of it worked, but the cooling was non existent. So, the room was overly warm (late July). Like I said, it's comfortable, if you don't mind some interesting little quirks.

They have an RV park and trailer parking. Bad room

I had a bad experience here. The room I originally paid for had a giant green stain on the sheets down to the mattress pad. I asked for sheets but ended up taking a smaller room. The shower sucked. Water would get all over the wood laminate floor from the way the curtain bar was installed. I ended up staying almost an extra month with a smelly refrigerator that made the food taste like ass and a giant gap under the door bringing in the outdoors and one huge ant. I did pay less for the second half of the stay but I should have went somewhere else. Beware of ghost that did meth and tried to kill me!

Its real gross inside the carpets probably the most disgusting thing in there. The back door to the patio has no lock so just anyone can walk in at any moment. It felt really unsafe. I wasnt able to get any sleep on account of feeling so unsafe. Theres holes all over the ceiling, I'm not sure why. I truly would have probably been better off sleeping in my car. Yikes!!

This is an older motel that has seen better days, but it was as clean as a budget traveler might expect.
