Nothing to write home about. I was quick to book when i saw the price and like 8.4 star reviews. However, I wasnt too sure how it had such a high rating as I was leaving. Don't get me wrong, nothing was awful, and the best way I could put it is that it is an okay budget hotel. You only get two small pillows on your entire bed, the sink and bath don't drain very well. And in one of the exits indoors there were dozens of dead knats on a windowsill was was just pretty gross. The property is okay... just a ton of questionable transients and smokers who hover around the building. Ultimately, not a terrible stay on a budget, but spending slightly more will probably be my move next time.

Paper thin walls. Can hear every sound in neighbors rooms. Breakfast is only a bowl of oranges and some packaged danishes. Staff was nice. Parking lot well lit. Adjacent to a diner.

We were the room right next to the exit and the door was opened and closed loudly all night. We also didn't have access to a third of the channels on the TV guide.

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. Howard Meharg

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.

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.

Find a different hotel.

Staff was rude. Pool was closed. Breakfast was non existent. Drug people in the parking lot. Room was clean and comfortable though.
