I was very disappointed in our stay here. I had stayed the previous night in a great hotel at a much lower rate (different city), so I really noticed the little things. The desk clerk ignored me when I came in (she was in her office), when another man came in she came out and helped him then her phone rang so she answered it, turned her back on me and continued what appeared to be a business conversation. They did not have any pack-n-plays to offer me as apparently they were all in use (???), which was a big problem for us. The room size was ok, but the beds were very small, there was a shortage of pillows, and they did not bring any extra towels as we requested. There was an unpleasant odor in the room (almost musty, but not really) that we eventually got used to. The next day the same clerk was very nice and we enjoyed the free waffles for breakfast. I may be a little biased after having such a great stay in a different hotel the night before, but I will not stay at this hotel again. Even if the rate is half of what I paid. The location was great!

We came during the busy weekend, Cherry Festival. This hotel is close to downtown. Older design and furnishings, new paint: somebody's working to keep this hotel up.
