Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
Staff was nice, but services are non existent. No daily cleaning, no toiletries in room, and when we got locked out of our room after hours with no one at the front desk, it took us about 2 hours to get back into our room. The process in place for lockouts does not work well

Quick Work Trip Gem

Found myself in Oregon for work and needed a last minute stay. The staff was welcoming and the establishment was quaint - I stayed in the single double sweet. The street was quiet in the evening. Highly recommended for a stay.
