Enjoyed our recent stay. Rooms were large, conveniently furnished with "cold" mini fridge, microwave, lots of fluffy towels, clean, king size bed, low to the ground tub, powerful shower, nice pool, convenient location just off the freeway, but still quiet and "safe". AC worked well. Nice continental breakfast. Nothing quaint or luxurious - but excellent lodging at a reasonable price.... More

We attended a fastpitch tournament on Saturday/Sunday. Check-in was courteous and quick. Our room was clean and bigger than we expected. We had a refrigerator and microwave. We used the hot tub and pool and found it to be adequate. It's very near the freeway, but we did not hear the freeway noise. I would recommend this place to anyone... More

Stayed for one night in a single king room. Hotel is older but taken care of for the most part. Check in was quick as was check out and folks working were polite. Reserved a King room but didn't get a king bed, but rather one double bed in a room. Didn't asked to be switched as we were only... More

This is a mediocre at best Holiday Inn Express hotel. Best feature is location, halfway between Seattle and Portland. Close to freeway, so convenient but noisy. Staff seem to have their minds on other things besides guests; I had to wait and have a room cleaner find someone to give me my bill at checkout. OK for an overnight stay... More

I stayed at this property for four weeks and one word sums it up. FRUMPY. The first room had a table that was so wobbly that if it wasn't pushed against the wall it would have fallen over. One of the rooms had an internet connection so far away from the work desk that even a 25 foot cable would... More

At Check in the Front Desk person left us standing there and didn't let us check in because the refused to honor our reserved rate. Poor business sense. Will not go back. More

This was one of the plainest Holiday Inn Expresses of the several we have stayed at over the years. Pretty much a big box. Definitely a no frills experience. The continental breakfast followed the same theme. The hotel is located right off the freeway but our Garmin GPS couldn't find it even though it had been around for nine years.... More

I was very pleased with my stay. The rooms were clean. The breakfast was delicious. The woman who staffed the breakfast year did a superb job keeping the food fresh, the coffee replenshed, and the area clean. She was very friendly and greeted everyone in the morning. We had a problem. Our air conditioning unit did not work, but the... More

We have never been treated as poorly as by the girl that checked us in. We waited a good 5 minutes before she came out of the office directly to the right of the check in desk although she saw us standing there. She was extremely rude and unhelpful. The room was a typical hotel room. More

Our plan was to stay two nights, but could not. The check-in guy was terrible. No business center. No book of area restaurants. No help. We were worried because we used hotel points for two nights and thought we would loose out, but the hotel customer service and the morning desk clerk were great. She told us that they often... More
