Skip and go to Park Vista
Gross and not on the river. It’s on a creek. The beds were not clean, the floors turned my white socks brown, the light switches were broke, and overall gross. At least they didn’t have bedbugs! For the price, I thought it was a rod run deal or something…it was not that cheap for rod run it’s because it is gross. The employees were super nice and the fire pit is cool! Parking is very convenient.

This was a really nice hotel to stay at. We got to see bears at nighttime walking around and with us being up there during rod run our area was peaceful. If catching the trolley its à quick 5 minute walk to the aquarium and I definitely recommend it

I have stayed here several times for the convenience and cleanliness. Close to aquarium and shopping. Large rooms. Be aware it is a motel and not a fancy hotel. If what you need is a no frills economical place this js your place.

Convenient Location
It was a nice room and the did offer a grab-to-go breakfast. It was close to town and events which saved a lot on parking. I don’t like that you can be css as led on your in room landline by anyone. The people above us threw or dropped things on our balcony. Then they came knocking on our door at midnight. We didn’t answer so they called us a couple of times on our room phone after midnight wanting us to get their dropped items for them and leave it outside our door. We prefer others not having phone access to our room.

Its quiet although next to a street. Rooms are older but clean. I wish they had a second lock on the inside of the door, it's just an electric locking door, no deadbolt or inside throw.

This is not a 3 star hotel. The bed was comfy but the headboard was white except for the grip marks from hands. The towels had holes and was rough The shower needs repairs. Water drained extremely slow. Bottom of tub kept making cracking sounds if you moved as it was hollow underneath. It smelled old!!

Location was AMAZING and the fire ring was very nice. Staff was all friendly and every single day there were bear walking around the hotel. I did request a room not on ground level and booked this months before my stay. I got a ground level room that was dingy and a bit dirty but the location and bear entertainment made up for the lack of room awe
