An ok place

Just an ok, cheap place to be able to sleep in a bed at night while on vacation. Nothing special. Not the cleanest place, but not the worst either. Staff did do a good job at keeping outside garbage cans cleaned out, even if full at night, by morning they would be empty.

Definitely Consider Staying at The Magnuson

After an EXTREMELY RUDE encounter with two of the 3 night desk clerks at the Scottish Inn next door while trying to check in through our reservation, I went to the Magnuson and found the clerk VERY warm and happy to be of SERVICE. He provided information which I needed but did not voice which made my impression of this inexpensive hotel better. The room was not remarkable but neither was it dingy, grimy or sticky.

False Advertisement

This hotel advertised a pool. It does not have a pool. The sister location next door does and it was broken. Worst hotel I've ever booked through hotels. I feel like I should be paid to stay here not vice versa.

The room was dirty with roaches. The place smelled of musk and mold, and turning on the A/C didnt help the situation. Stains on all levels of the sheets. And the bathroom was more than to be desired. Had to leave in the middle of the night.
