Good dove hunt

The hotel room was very comfortable. The AC unit worked well as did the TV and the refrigerator. The microwave did not work but was not needed. The bathroom and shower was very acceptable. Overall, we were very satisfied with our stay. Recommended hotel for upland game hunters.

It was a very old building, and the office really showed its age, but inside the room, it was up-to-date and very clean. Did have a spider and one cockroach in the bathroom. Refrigerator and microwave, but no coffee in the room. Big dirt spot where the pool once was and one very old car out front. Strange that there were no cars in the parking lot, then bus dropped off a lot of farm workers. They were very quiet, though, and I had a great night's sleep there.

My spot to go to when in town

My stay was pleasant. The rooms were clean and beds were pretty comfortable. Everything worked and no bugs in sight which is one thing I’m concerned about. Area appears questionable but so far, my stay been great with no problems 👍👍

The hotel attendant was nice and friendly. Check-out time was convenient. Didn't like the uncleanliness, the unsavory characters that were staying at the inn. Unsafe and did not feel secure at the place. Would not recommend this hotel.

I would not stay here. The pillow cases were stained and the pillow itself looks as if it had been dragged through the roads and shoved back into the pillow case, not to mention there was a DEAD ROACH on my bed. At that point I didn’t even want to look or search the rest of the room. Me and my family packed everything up and left. The owner did offer me another room but at this point I just wanted out. If your traveling with little ones or family oriented I would not stay here.

For someone who needs to be in the area for the night, I'd say this hotel has everything that you need. It's clean, it seems as safe as possible, you can park right next to your room, all the basic amenities, and a price in ybe range with others.

Carolyn, Oregon

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Loved the bed and bedding. Nice towels and travel toiletries were adequate. Multiple cracks in sink caused me to think “hair” BUT NO hair present on sink. Leaves and some debris swirled in an alcove outside our rooms but the trash receptacle nearby held it easily. Didn’t pickup leaves though. Nice to havre 2 chairs in the room, even though room was small. Did I mention the bed was wonderful? The UNPLEASANT - was the thundering base music from someone’s vehicle, before sleeping AND AGAIN at 5:20 AM in the morning. If I were the innkeeper, I would require all of his Hispanic and other workers, to silence their boom boxes both evening and morning, as a consideration for all guests.
