The rooms vary in layout and features from a simple beds with microwave and fridge to a full on kitchen. I like the white cotton bed coverings. It’s very affordable. This is not a corporate motel. It has a bit of a funky edge which gives it character. Beds are comfortable, water is hot, showerheads deliver a nice water pressure. Staff is friendly and accommodating. I feel safe here. It’s usually pretty quiet. Wi-Fi is reliable. My only pet peeve is the popup air fresheners, which is a personal preference. I just set them outside the door. Coming and going to Goldendale the mountains are so beautiful. It’s a great place to stop and refresh.

Our first room did not have a flushing toilet. The receptionist move us to another room. The room has a flushing toilet but no functioning light. Both rooms have a very strong odor. We just sleep there so it doesn’t bother us. Surprisingly, has a good breakfast.

The adjoining properties were dilapidated and run down. Not the motel owners responsibility though. A good buffet breakfast with many options. A good set of instructions posted in each room.about how to operate the TV would be a good idea.

We had to dodge dog poop to walk to our room then the heat wasn’t working in the room and the heater vent are was melted and looked like it would start a fire if on. The beds weren’t made or clean, there was hair on them and they were stained yellow. We had to cancel our reservation and find the second and only other option in the city to stay at. The worker said she had another room but it would be more money for it and acted like we couldn’t afford it.

We had a 2 queen bed room, it was like a suite with a bedroom, the space was very generous with a kitchenette that has a stove, sink, pots and eating utensils. Quartz Countertop looks new, we saw a stain on the bedsheet, they provide makeup remover but no shampoo, so always bring your own soap and shampoo if you are the sensitive type but overall pretty clean.

Stay Away

The place is run down and filthy. Dog pooh caked on the floor. Door lock didn't function properly. For all the coming and going in the next room I'm guessing trade in contraband. Pity, since there was a screaming toddler in the room. I left and went to another Motel. Avoid this place at all costs.

A very convenient stopover for eastern WA travel. Good breakfast offerings. Wide variety of room options, from small to spacious. Quirky but Affordable. Older rooms do not offer convenient device plug in, but one can make it work. A practical choice.

Don't Stay in Rooms 228 or 229!

When we arrived, we were first given an isolated room in the back of the motel on the 2nd floor overlooking what appeared to be a small junkyard. The curtains were too short for the window, the room was in general neglect, and most importantly, the heater, whose grate was encased with at least a few years of lint, didn't work. Rm. 229. When we requested a different room, the manager gave us a suite in a different building that was nicely maintained and clean, at no additional cost. He was working with a skeleton crew which appeared to consist of just himself, so it was understandable that he was reluctant to leave the desk to get us a box of kleenex or some hand soap. Breakfast was from 7-9. We arrived at 8:30 to find very little left to choose from, and no one there to assist with making sure there was adequate food until 9:00. Don't know why we were first given, what I hope, was the worst room in the motel, when there appeared to be an abundance of vacancies, but we don't blame the manager for the lack of service. It's the lazy staff who apparently bailed on an off-season weekend.
