This totally hit the spot on a cross country road trip. Super easy check-in, friendly, helpful, and efficient staff and a very nicely remodeled motel. Cleanliness was top notch and the bedding quite comfortable. We highly recommend and would definitely stay here again.

Nothing wrong with the property but the area immediately around the hotel is deserted and rundown. I'll still keep staying at the Magnuson but thought I'd warn others.

This is a basic motel, with no amenities except the room. However, the rooms are very clean and comfortable. The property is well-maintained. The staff is friendly and helpful. It is very good for the price.

Room was wonderful and single story. Amenities were not there - no breakfast or pool. Hotel next door was blasting music and area didn’t feel safe. Multiple vehicles on blocks in parking lot.

The only reason the place doesn't get 5 stars is because the A/C unit in the room was really noisy. When the compressor turned off it made a huge clunking noise that woke me up a couple of times. If they can fix that, the stay would be perfect.

Great experience

Pretty nice place. I was traveling with all my belongings in my car so I really loved being able to park right in front of my door. Check in was very easy and the free cold water bottle and snack pack were a very nice touch after so many days on the road. The bedding was nice and the heat worked well so no complaints. There was a dead earwig in the bathroom when I arrived but at least it was dead.

I stopped only to spend the night on my way to L.A. without spending a bunch. I was very pleased. One previous review indicated that she didn’t feel safe off the property, and I get that. Lots of old and vacant buildings. However, this motel is worthy of a try. It was quiet, clean, and though older, still had what I needed. The check in was easy and the clerk very friendly and accommodating. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

The room was very outdated and smelled damp. There were blood stains on the mattress pad so did sleep under the sheets. The pool was not filled.

First time staying here a few weeks ago was great. This time, however, was a bit disappointing. The room itself was fine. I could not get the TV to work at all (not a big deal as I was pretty much going to just sleep anyway), but the big negative was the numerous facial shavings around the sink and in the amenities tray. Just not a good job of cleaning. Room was quiet, bed was comfortable, and check in was as easy as it can possibly be. I’m going to write this visit off as a bad day and let it go. I’d still stay here again when passing through.

Best Customer Service in a long time.

The business process of checking in and checking out was so customer focus. It took less than 5 minutes. The office staff on site were great and were able to assist me when requested. The best part of it all was the parking. I didn't have to walk a long way to the service desk, walk down a hallway to get in some elevator, and walk down a hallway to get to my room if I was at a hotel. The parking was just right outside my door. I am definitely coming back in the summer to use your pool and hot top. I cannot say enough about the service. I would like to see handheld show heads in the future, but overall, I am happy with the experience.

Unfortunately the room I had was very dated. Cigarette burns on the counter in bathroom. Drywall repairs that hadn’t been finished. Missing tile in the floor. Not a good area to walk the dog. No designated pet relief area. The pool and spa were drained. No mention of this in the reservation. For the price of the room this was very disappointing. The bed was nice and comfortable w a new mattress. The fridge was quiet. (But not turned on when I arrived so took a long time to cool). I would find a different place to stay next time thru town.
