The location is convenient, very close to the highway, which made it easy to drive to North Cascades National Park. There are also a few restaurants nearby, which was handy. The staff was absolutely fantastic, both at check-in and check-out, very friendly and helpful.
That said, the property really needs some basic upgrades and attention to cleanliness. The place didn’t feel clean. I noticed hairs in the shower area, yellow permanent stains on the toilet seat, and the bathroom mat looked like it hadn’t been washed. The pillows looked and smelled old (and were even mismatched). For something so simple, it would make a big difference if the management replaced them — even $5 pillows from Walmart would be better.
The bed was very soft and uncomfortable, and I barely slept all night. The carpet, chairs, and furniture look extremely old and worn, and the overall atmosphere gives the impression that the owners haven’t invested anything in maintaining the property. I understand this is a low-budget option, but there are basic standards of cleanliness and comfort that don’t require a big financial investment.
There’s no Wi-Fi at all — the lady at check-in did inform me before I paid, which I appreciated, but just be aware that there is no Wi-Fi available. The AC/heating unit is also very loud (though that didn’t bother me personally).
I wouldn’t stay here again. With just a few simple improvements: new pillows, a clean bathroom, and a bit of care, this place could be much better!
