It’s what you expect. Staff was very nice but, the only downside was no pets and their hotel rooms doors was a pain by not opening. You’ve to jiggle it a couple of times in order to get into your room. Overall, it was decent for what you pay for.

Horrible!

Horrible. There were holes in the sheets, and when we brought it up, they said they knew about it and just haven't gotten new sheets yet. They claimed it was a strict, no smoking policy, but the room smelled smoky.

The property smelled very terrible, the area was very unsafe there was a gang in town at this hotel and we were told to be very careful around them after the first hour we left and went back to Oregon they would refund us and the experience was super scary and terrible.

I would NOT advise anyone to book at this establishment. It was a busy weekend for Kelso as they had cycle race traversing their town. Getting accommodation was difficult. We requested NON SMOKING ROOM. The room reserved for us had smoke odour,. They did give us another room but nominally better. Mold in bathroom, chipped furniture, bed linen appeared to have been slept in. carpets

This is the worse motel iv EVER encountered absolutely do not go there! They wouldn’t let anyone even come into my room after 10pm not even to help me put my luggage in the room they were so concerned about charging more an more fees and being able to kick u out without refunding u and were so busy listing off more and more irrational rules that never did this place ever even say welcome it was the most unwelcoming and intrusive an rude establishment iv ever encountered and then to tell me it would be 7 -10 business days before my money would be refunded what a musleading joke…worst place ever trust me do not ever book a room here

Front desk wakes me up move my truck

They wanted me to park my truck and small Uhaul A quarter mile away. I am disabled and I refused. I backed the truck up and trailer and took three spots. At 10:30 at night after we had fallen asleep the front desk called me and said owners wanted me to move my truck. I said I will happily do so at 6 AM when I leave. Very unhappy about the parking at this establishment, and the rudeness of calling a guest at 10:30 PM.
