“Reasonable considering price”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 January 2012

Only stayed for one night in a one bedroom suite after booking directly through the website. Room was large and clean but in need of refurbishment.
Well located off Hwy 99.
Breakfast hours were 6-9am which is fine for business travelers but not ideal for those on vacation (especially with a 12pm checkout). Staff were friendly and helpful.
Basically what I would expect for the price - nothing more or less.

“Great value: large room, spotlessly clean”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

This motel is the most convenient one in the area for people traveling from Portland, or on their way there, because it is on highway 99, the main highway between the two cities. Our room was very large, spotlessly clean, with a good shower. The room had a microwave and refrigerator in it, and a free breakfast was included. The rooms are set back from the highway so it was very quiet even though it was a holiday. The staff was friendly and helpful. This is a budget motel, so don't expect luxurious Turkish towels and fancy linens, but do expect excellent value for the price.

“Bad Mouthed Priceline - Handicapped But PRICELINE =No exception!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 May 2011

From Check in we were told what a stupid thing we did by booking with Priceline. I heard her tell the man checking in in front of me the same thing. Why list if you dont want business? Room was huge! (on the second floor) Asked if we could change location due to access issues NOPE! No changes, really I would have paid to change but her mind was set! Spooky tree line way away from office. I was dissapointed and appalled. No Refunds No Exceptions Never going back!

Room Tip: Go to any other hotel!

“No hot water & no compensation”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 April 2011

We stayed here for one night on 3-5-11. Standard room, nothing out of the ordinary (except maybe that the rooms are oversized) which is what we expected for the price. We wanted to shower before morning check-out, but even after running the hot water for awhile, it never got warmer. My husband tried taking a shower anyway, hoping it would get better, but he ended up with ice cold water. I decided to skip my shower all together. We let the front office know during checkout , and she mentioned that she received a few phone calls from other guests with hot water issues, but they were able to get their water to be hot after leaving it on for a half hour. She stated the manager wasn't in, but she was sure he would credit us for the inconvenience. Never received any contact or credit.
A big part of staying at a hotel is so you can bath, and since that wasn't possible, we will not stay here again.

We appreciate you taking the time to give us your comments at this time the circulating pump went out and that was the reason for the length of time it took to get hot water to our guest rooms. The pump has been replaced and the situation has been resolved. We apologize for the conditions that you encountered and hope you will return to give us another opportunity to show you our hospitality.
