Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The Motel was not as was presented in the web, the room wasn’t even clean enough, the air conditioning was in bad condition, the controls all damaged and only one temperature was set up. The up stairs walk area was dirty and needs someone care. The room walls in some areas was stains. Overall this place needs some work. But no all was bad, the front desk was very nice and the breakfast was good. If they take care of rooms and the outside of the building can be a good place to stay for the money.

Had reservations (paid via expedia) but woman at desk couldn't open the door to my room because of an issues with the electronic key. The Motel still charged me and said I need to get the refund from Expedia. Really? The poderosa collected it. They can now deal with Visa. The woman at the desk was very polite and nice and it wasn't her fault. I guess I involve Expedia and Visa.

They were unable to provide a room to me. The receptionist gave me plastic cards for three different rooms, neither of room has electronic lock. All metal keys were missing. No manager was at the size, reportedly the manager was fired earlier that day. Finally (after an hour of this boring nightmare) I just went to another motel. Yet have to get my money back because the room was paid in advance.

We stay here all the time when visiting family . We usually see a younger lady who is fantastic and friendly . Today there was an older lady at the check in who was horrible. She has no customer service skills . If I had not already paid for room I would have cancelled . I will not stay here again if she continues to be here . Horrible !

The adjoining properties were dilapidated and run down. Not the motel owners responsibility though. A good buffet breakfast with many options. A good set of instructions posted in each room.about how to operate the TV would be a good idea.

The rooms vary in layout and features from a simple beds with microwave and fridge to a full on kitchen. I like the white cotton bed coverings. It’s very affordable. This is not a corporate motel. It has a bit of a funky edge which gives it character. Beds are comfortable, water is hot, showerheads deliver a nice water pressure. Staff is friendly and accommodating. I feel safe here. It’s usually pretty quiet. Wi-Fi is reliable. My only pet peeve is the popup air fresheners, which is a personal preference. I just set them outside the door. Coming and going to Goldendale the mountains are so beautiful. It’s a great place to stop and refresh.

Our first room did not have a flushing toilet. The receptionist move us to another room. The room has a flushing toilet but no functioning light. Both rooms have a very strong odor. We just sleep there so it doesn’t bother us. Surprisingly, has a good breakfast.
