Nice friendly staff hotel. Very Clean, modern, besd are good. Room amenities were nice, though could have used USB-C Plug Chargers over the USB-A. Walls are a little thin, so if next dior neighbor is a bit rowdy (kids etc) you can here them. I like the hotel was just far enough off the hwy so no traffic noise. Close to everything.

The room was small but comfortable. Breakfast was limited but met our needs. The location was very convenient for us as we journied from Glacier National Park back to Western Washington.

This hotel would not make accommodations after our booking and just cancelled our stay with them. Then told us there was nothing they could do for us. Manager hid back in a little room and employee had to go back there to ask questions because he was obviously new. Also we could hear everything they were saying. So really no point in not coming out. Put the employee in a very awkward situation.

There was a musty smell in the room when I first entered but it either went away quickly or I got use to it. I wished the mini fridge had a freezer compartment so I could re-freeze my cold packs for my cooler. It was an accessible room so there wasn’t any counter space in the bathroom, just a flimsy wire rack. The hotel is next door to the Farmhouse Kitchen BBQ which was very good. The continental breakfast was mainly bread options, cold cereal and waffles. But if you look in the mini fridge there are Jimmy Dean breakfast croissants that you can microwave which I really enjoyed.
