Timberland Inn and Suites Motel - Page 1

This place is older and looks kind of run down. Our room was clean, however, and the bathroom looked like it had just been renovated.

The continental breakfast consisted of pre-package sweet rolls, coffee, and juice. We got the AAA rate with no problem. It was convenient for seeing Mt. St. Helens. None of the other motels in Castle Rock looked much better.

This, in our opinion, is a sleazy operation. Despite the AAA-advertised rates of $80-$110, the owner jacked the price of a double room up to $179 per night because there was a bicycle event passing through town! We were rudely told to "take it or leave it," and I later overheard them joking in the lobby about making money in this manner. I mentioned "gouging" to the owner, but he was not familiar with the word. During our three-week vacation we stayed at two other motels that were hosting events, one was hosting two, and both honored the AAA rate.
