Hotel appears to be very rundown, can’t tell that from pictures when you book. It was raining and freezing cold, had to stand outside and called four times before someone came to the window to check in. Bed was comfortable, bathroom was filthy. Hair in the shower, and the base of the toilet looked like it had never been clean. It served his purpose for one night, but I won’t be back.

Major shoutout to the double Chris team members at Front Desk. Above and beyond!!!! A raise, lunch or both for them. The room had very minor things missing. But overall, the room was very clean and the linen smelled good. The Magnuson has been progressing in their remodeling. Awesome stay!!!
