It was close to downtown and made it worth the stay. Room was ok, but will say it was fairly clean. Breakfast could have been better in my opinion for "grab and go" options. They offered strawberry nutrigrain bars and small prepackaged muffins. Adding cereal or something would be an excellent addition. Firepit in the parking lot is a nice touch. Overall, it was good!

This is the 3rd time staying there I only have 2 negative things. #1 Pool was right outside our room. So kids were kinda noisy. #2 Security wise there was not the security latch on the door. Otherwise it was perfect for what we needed.

Skip and go to Park Vista
Gross and not on the river. Itā€™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 didnā€™t have bedbugs! For the price, I thought it was a rod run deal or somethingā€¦it was not that cheap for rod run itā€™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 Ć  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 donā€™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 didnā€™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.
