The room was surprisingly modern and very clean. The beds are really comfortable too! The walls are a bit thin and we had a very noisy neighbour upstairs but luckily by the time we went to bed they quieted down. We stayed here on our road trip from Albany to Vancouver BC and it was a really nice place to break up our drive. We will definitely stay here again!

The room was very cute but specious enough with little details that showed care in room service. In E block, we were also greated by a friendly cat throughout our stay.

Looks nice at first, but I would NEVER stay here again. We noticed people hanging outside at all hours of the day and night, and with a bit of googling it quickly became clear why — the upstairs rooms are low-end apartments. The dog above us cried and whined in a cage constantly, including at night, and complaints did nothing. The room itself was just ok, linens were clean, but floors were sticky, the remodel used cheap materials, and we even found a used press-on nail on the floor. We were here for a sports event trying to save money and ended up leaving early. I’d rather stay at a cheaper, worse hotel than deal with this again

I had an amazing experience. I stayed last year when it was still the King Oscar and wasn't impressed. But I gave it a try again after seeing some of the changes and I am glad I did. Our room looked completely renovated. Very clean, and the beds were comfortable. I felt safe, even with doors that are accessable to someone from the outside, and on ground level. The front desk staff was friendly and shared all of the updates and future changes. They will soon have a game room and the pool is being updated as well. I come here a lot for sports and I will stay here again. Affordable and well worth the money spent.

Convenient location to food and shopping Outside of hotel was questionable, construction, and old. Inside of the room was Newley remodeled, clean and comfortable. Water temperature in shower was Luke warm and after a cold wet day in the PNW it was less then enjoyable.

The room looked bright and freshly remodeled with new furniture. Staff was friendly and the Wi-Fi in our assigned room was excellent. We found the bed to be very comfortable - great mattress choice! The location was convenient for our travel plans with quick access to a number of restaurants and grocery stores in town, and the freeway close by. Our room was quiet.

Black mold

Sadly a brand new refurbished room had Black mold in the bathroom, a big spot. Light switch that didn't work, bathroom plug that had no power. To top that all off the manager was smoking at the main entrance which stunk up going to the office.
