Very convenient right off Interstate 84, Best deal in the area, room was big and well insulated. the people were all very nice who worked there. the pool was nice. there was a balcony on the room with chairs to sit in overlooking the pool which was nice. It had a 24 hour diner right next door and the food was really good there. There was also a brick oven Pizza joint right down the street with excellent pizza.
I would definately stay there again.

The hotel was run down and not very clean. The toilets did not flush properly and kept running all night long. One of the beds had dirty sheets which we discovered at 11 pm when the blanket was pulled down. When we called the front desk, the attendant asked us what did we want him to do? We asked for someone to come change the bedding as the stain was disgusting. He sent 1 sheet. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

At one time, this was some great motel. Maybe 1950. Mid-century modern building. Large room. It was apparently built with thick walls because the party next door was barely audible and did not keep me awake. The room looked relatively clean. That's about all the nice things I can say about this dowdy place. The toilet kept refilling all night but relatively quietly so that didn't keep me awake. When I reported the problem, the desk clerk did not make note of it and appeared not to care. The restaurant next door, The Vernon Diner, is a hoot -- I didn't expect much but the menu is extensive, the decor is interesting and so was the crowd, and the food inexpensive and plentiful and much better quality than I expected. We ate dinner and breakfast there.

I have never in my life seen such a filthy hotel room. most of the lights did not work. Batteries missing from remote. Filthy hairy toliets and tub. Dirty sheets. Wet rugs under airconditioner. Infested with fleas. Bathroom door did not close. I paid extra for my yorkie and ended up with a $77 fee for frontline flea killer. I would rather sleep outside than go back to this hotel. This place should be put out of business.
