This is a smaller hotel/motel. It is clean, cozy and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was spotless. We had difficulty getting the TV remote to work and maintenance came immediately and replaced it. Good continental breakfast with lots of choices. All the staff we dealt with were excellent. Their shuttle from the airport was quite efficient. Thanks!

More of a motor lodge, doors open to the parking lot. The economy room was VERY small (could not leave a large suitcase open) was however very clean. Free shuttle to/from airport and train depot was helpful. Walking distance to Fred Meyer food, bus stop, and a couple fast food places.
