The room was surprisingly modern and very clean. The beds are really comfortable too! The walls are a bit thin and we had a very noisy neighbour upstairs but luckily by the time we went to bed they quieted down. We stayed here on our road trip from Albany to Vancouver BC and it was a really nice place to break up our drive. We will definitely stay here again!

I had an amazing experience. I stayed last year when it was still the King Oscar and wasn't impressed. But I gave it a try again after seeing some of the changes and I am glad I did. Our room looked completely renovated. Very clean, and the beds were comfortable. I felt safe, even with doors that are accessable to someone from the outside, and on ground level. The front desk staff was friendly and shared all of the updates and future changes. They will soon have a game room and the pool is being updated as well. I come here a lot for sports and I will stay here again. Affordable and well worth the money spent.

The room looked bright and freshly remodeled with new furniture. Staff was friendly and the Wi-Fi in our assigned room was excellent. We found the bed to be very comfortable - great mattress choice! The location was convenient for our travel plans with quick access to a number of restaurants and grocery stores in town, and the freeway close by. Our room was quiet.

Convenient location to food and shopping Outside of hotel was questionable, construction, and old. Inside of the room was Newley remodeled, clean and comfortable. Water temperature in shower was Luke warm and after a cold wet day in the PNW it was less then enjoyable.

What a pleasent experience. The Varsity is on the move. They are sinking some money into this place and it shows. My room was clean, spacious, quiet and completly remodeled. All for $70.00 a night. Friendly staff and a clean well light parking lot was a bonus.
