Inside the rooms are clean, beautiful and comfortable! The property on the outside leaves a lot to be desired. It really needs to be weeded trimmed back things like that but otherwise good value.

The front desk staff greeted me and had us checked in what seemed like a mere two minutes. She was polite and professional. The room was nice. It has had a recent upgrade. We did notice a slight gap in the door that was enough to let small bugs in. It was about 2 ft up on the bottom and about a ft down from the top. While I was out and grabbed some 3/8" thick peel and stick weather strip and it wasn't quite enough to fill the gap. In the haste of enjoying the beautiful garden and courtyard and how fast check out was, I forgot to mention it to the morning staff. The bed was one of, if not the most comfortable beds I've ever slept on. I told my family the commercial about a HI, needs to be changed. I woke up chipper, and beyond ready to face the day. My wife asked what I was all peppy, and I said, "I stayed at a Cascades Inn last night". Lol. But it's true. That bed was so amazing I pulled the bedding to see what brand it was. It's a hotel exclusive bed, but I'm sure there is something close out there. Just when I thought nothing could get better, then came the shower. It was super hot, and the pressure and volume behind it felt like all the water from all the fire hoses from a 5 alarm fire! It was just an old basic shower head, but the volume and pressure were incredible. We jotted down for the free breakfast which was you basic contenental style. Muffins, breads and bagels, yogurt, fruit, cereals, etc. Still good. I'll be back for sure! No doubt

The staff and service was excellent. The room had a great bed and was a nice set up for a more affordable motel option. It wasn't the most luxurious place, but I think for the price, this is a great option. The rooms are nice and more spacious than I was expecting. There was plenty of parking as well.

Crappy breakfast

Just a night stay while out of town and then back on the road. Room was nice and clean and was able to Check-in at noon without a fee.. they also had a nice flower garden for a courtyard. Only real complaint would have been their breakfast.No good really wasn't one, and if you smoke, then you have to go literally, like off property to a designated smoking area.You couldn't just smoke outside your room. And they require a two hundred and fifty dollar deposit down on the room which I thought was a bit high.

MOLD!!

We stayed in room 39. We couldn’t figure out the smell it had. Got to looking & the room had tons of mold in it. They moved our room. The grounds are poorly cared for as well. The rooms were not very clean. I don’t understand how housekeeping never found the mold before us. You could smell it. The entire room was very damp. Horrible experience. We will never stay there again.

Very cute little hotel! Stayed here randomly and was pleasantly surprised. A cute little bar is attached too. The patio/garden area is nice. If I would have had more time I would have enjoyed coffee and read my book out there. Only negatives was the room smelling musty and there was water on the bathroom floor.
