birds-and-herps's profile and reviews

The rooms I have rented at this Best Western are average in all ways. The staff, however, is exceptional and very friendly. Rooms do not typically come with mini-fridges or microwaves, but they will place them in your room upon request. The continental breakfast is satisfactory. Easy on-off access to the I-5 and HWY 4.

This room is OKAY, considering how economical it is. The furniture and rooms (singles) are very basic and often chilly without mini-fridge or microwave amenities. This motel does not offer a continental breakfast. The double bed rooms with kitchenettes may be better, but I do not require an extra bed and none of the singles come with kitchenettes or amenities. The staff is very amicable and the units are clean, but I am in the process of finding a replacement in Forks, because I feel my money could be better spent elsewhere.

Very gorgeous historic house located in downtown Cathlamet. I suspect it was much more cordial and hospitable in its days as a bed and breakfast, but it maintains a romantic atmosphere. I would recommend this only to those that stay up late and can entertain themselves. The old house is very conducive for the traveling of sound through the floorboards and vents, which may make sleep difficult for some. The rooms are exquisitely decorated and are very charming with large comfortable beds and antique furniture (as an old inn should have). I was disappointed with my stay because the inn no longer functions as a bed and breakfast and the owners don't seem to have their heart into hosting anymore...the property is for sale and they cook their meals in the house to seemingly torment the boarders, which must eat at one of the neighboring mediocre restaurants. The staff was nice enough, but I was warned I would be charged for leaving any of the lights on when I went out. I appreciate that they are conserving energy, but as a guest I expect not to be patronized. Needless to say, I did not feel welcome at this small inn. The settings seem far too intimate to simply board a room, unless a room is all you seek. Just don't forget to turn off the lights!

I was pleasantly surprised by the size and comfort of the room I stayed in at the Nordic Lodge. The lodge is under new management and it looks like some of the rooms have recently been refurbished. The rates are great for the rooms provided, although some may prefer a more central location to town as the lodge is somewhat located on the outskirts...which may be perfect if you are attending games at the Bishop Athletic Complex. The only caveat is this...the back parking lot has a lot of trash in it...hopefully the new management with address this and then it will be a great place to stay. I still highly recommend this inn because it is very affordable and the rooms are huge and comfortable.
