The staff was fantastic and very accommodating! The location is close to the airport and just a short walk to a Fred Myers. The continental breakfast was plentiful, however the water for tea & hot choc was not hot enough. The room and bathroom were very clean but the sleeping area was way too small for the price of over $200.

The Inn was exactly what it advertises itself to be. It was close to the airport with a shuttle. The rooms and exterior areas were clean. The entire staff was a pleasure to interact with. The grab and go breakfast had a wide variety of items to choose from and was regularly replenished. I visited multiple times for coffee!
