The room was clean, but had only one bar of soap at the sink, and none in the bathroom. There were very few towels, and one was very worn with stings hanging at the ends. When I asked for a new towel, the staff was real nice. The woman who checked me in was lovely. Breakfast was okay. Parking was tight but goid enough. I would stay there again but bring my own soap.

Clean room and good breakfast options. King bed was small king, very lumpy and the comforter shifted down to the bottom of the cover and therefore slid off the foot of the bed. The room was so small we could barely walk around.

The best thing about the property was at location to downtown Ashland, Lithia, Park and Theatre and restaurants. I grew up in Ashland, so I was very familiar with hotel and I know it’s been at this location for several decades. The room was clean and updated. The one thing that was a little bit weird in the room was the bed quilt, which was a nylon fabric that was so slippery, It just slid off of the bed during the night and was hard to navigate.

The carpet in my room was filthy; total black feet bottoms after walking in the room for 20 minutes. I reported it, and it only got slightly better. But my major complaint was the mattresses and the Tyvek feeling sheets. It's an older property and really needs a refresh. But worst beds and bedding I have ever experienced. This place is about location, location, location -- it was perfect for where I needed to be. But now I've been there I see other properties nearby that I will try next time unless I somehow become aware of improvements in the actual bedding and carpeting.
