I stayed here when I moved my son into his dorms last week. It was very motel-ish which is fine, I expected that from the photos. What I did not expect was to turn on the water in the shower and have orange/brown water pour out. I took a photo and sent it to the management and the response was that when they went to the room the water looked fine. The college aged girls working at the front desk were very kind and offered their apologizes regarding the situation but as far as I know nothing has been done to fix the water situation. Wouldn’t recommend staying there unless you are cool with not being able to shower or showering in questionable water.

Homey feel

Cascades is better on the inside than it looks from the outside! There's a courtyard, grill, tables. There is an older smell in the lobby, but that doesn't carry out throughout the building. There's continental breakfast. The rooms are "homey." The fixtures are older, but everything works just fine. The temperature was great in the room, beds are super comfortable. There was an extra blanket. Everything was clean, no bugs!

Place needs some major TLC. Bath tub full of mold. Room smelled of mildew & felt very damp. Bed & pillows surprisingly comfy though. The outside is very neglected. It’s super creepy at night, strange people roaming around nearby. Had an issue with a very drunk/drugged guy in parking lot & needed assistance from front desk. Biggest issue was the cell/wifi service…there was basically none. Kept drifting in & out or none at all. Very disappointing.

It has a beautiful courtyard and there's the beautiful Cascades Park behind it. The owner built a path/stairs to go down the hill to access the park. Friendly staff.

Comfortable and conveniently located

This place was cute - definitely past it's heyday, but it was comfortable, conveniently located, and the woman at the front desk was friendly and adorable.
