4 total trips with 50/50 good and bad reviews

The first time that we stayed here, it was good. The room was stocked and clean and check in was a breeze. The second time, we had people screaming and cussing each other out in the parking lot in the middle of the night. The TV in the room that we were in didnt work and they said that they would fix it but never did. We had to ask for towels multiple times and the dirty sheets from the prior guests were still on the floor in the room. The following week we came up again and a friend of ours got the same room as we had for the second trip and complained of people screaming at each other and fighting in the middle of the night. The TV was also still not fixed. Our room was better that trip so we gave it one more go this past weekend. The room was dirty. The sheets had hair all over them, the pillows had hair and spots (orange/brown blood like color) on them, there were medical tape chunks on the inside of the bathroom door frame with what looks like blood under them. There was no remote for the AC/fan/heating unit so we had to get a step stool from our vehicle to turn the heat on. We stayed here because we needed a place to sleep and shower and that was pretty much it. We leave the room before light to fish and dont return until well after dark so we don't need anything fancy but this time was enough. We will be finding somewhere else from now on. I don't like to be the person to leave negative reviews but some things are just too much to ignore.

Our first room was nice inside, but the walls are thin and the guy next to ours had their TV on really loud so late, so we asked if we could move. Then the took us to another room next to a lady who had a dog, then they thought that was not a good idea, so the took us to another room which seems nice as well, but then more problems started. There was a group of guys outside two rooms down carrying on to all hours of the night. I was concerned about saying anything to them because they were loud and they were talking about some bad things. At 2:30 am I was awakened with laughing and loud talking outside. then they quited down. then at 4:30 am more loud noises and loud talking. Then at 6 am a tow truck arriving in front of our room making loud noises. Just as the sun came up, the group of guys left and the party was over. The motel should not have allowed this to happen. I didn't want to say anything to them because of fear of retaliation and possible vandalisim of my car. We did not feel safe and it was not worth it at all. I DO NOT recommend staying here.

I had a very bad experience at Steelhead Inn - I arrived the evening of my reservation and they had no rooms for me; they had overbooked the Inn. I had to scramble to find another hotel room in the city. I thought it was unacceptable how they handle the property reservations, and the front desk staff told me this has happened before.

room was clean. we thought the bed was uncomfortable but beds are a personal preference, others may love it. website states office is open from 9:30am-11pm. we got there a little before 2:30, no one around. number on window to call for help, no one answered. finally after 10 minutes i saw a worker, he said he would get someone. she told we can't check in until 3pm! i have NEVER been told by any motel or hotel i couldn't check in if i was a bit early. i was told to come back after 3! wi-fi wouldn't work in my room. i told front desk but she said it was an incorrect password....well, it works 3 doors up. told another worker about it and he said he would check it out, it didn't work the entire time we were there unless i went 3 doors closer to the office.
