My brother and I rented separate rooms for 4 days at this facility for a fishing trip in early October. We booked last December because the area gets crowded during the salmon run. The motel on the outside was clean looking as was the small lobby for check in. Upon checking in we saw a notice about surcharges for fish in the refrigerator, cleaning fish in the bathtub and soiling the carpet. We had a good laugh and asked the lady checking us in if people really did that. She was very serious with her affirmative answer.
I was unlucky and got a room next to the ice machine. For some reason, the room retained its heat, so I had to put the air conditioning on, even though it was 50 degrees outside. This was fortunate since it created some white noise which took away the intermittent noise of the ice machine dropping ice into buckets.
The room was a different story - I pulled the curtain next to the window and noticed there wasn't a lock on the window. Pushing up the window, I saw the reason why - there was no glass in the window - only 2 storm windows and screen were present. The sill was rotting away and there were holes to the outside. The carpet had seen better days, there was no molding between the carpet and the bathroom tile, the toilet leaked from the handle when flushed and the shower knob fell into my hand the first time I grabbed it to turn on the water to take a shower.
The room did contain a microwave, small refrigerator, coffee maker and television, all in good working order.
Fortunately, when I returned to the room each evening after fishing, I had just enough energy to take a shower, set up the fishing equipment for the next day and then passed out on the bed, until my next wakeup call 7 hours later, thus I didn't have to spend too much time in the room.
