Stayed for a sports tournament. The room was clean and appreciated the fridge and microwave so we could bring our own food. The breakfast was a nice touch with good pancakes. We saved $300 over two nights vs what some of our teammates paid. Would 100% stay here again.

The Pepermill Empress Inn is our usual stay when in Centralia. The location is convenient and is priced well compared to similar star hotels in the area. It is an older property but is kept up. The terry in the bathrooms felt new, or nearly new which is a plus to me. They have a complimentary breakfast, but we elected to go to a restaurant next door instead. The parking is self-park and the area in general feels safe. We will be back when in the area again.
