Pros:

The room are all completely remodeled as of only 6 months ago and they did a fantastic job!! We spent 4 nights/5 days. The staff across the board was so attentive and friendly. They were right there for anything we needed! We have a van and didn't plan on staying at a hotel; however, the wind and smoke from the fires were just to bad to stay in the woods, and we're so happy we found the Overland Hotel! We will without a doubt be back!!

Convenient location, great room gadgets, lacking in cleanliness and parking
Pros:

I liked that it was a convenient location and that they had a coffee and juice machine, but they did not have any breakfast, which was sad. I knew going there that they wouldn't have any breakfast, but it would be nice to have that as an option. AC worked well, it was nice to have a TV, a fridge, a microwave, and a coffee pot in the room. I enjoyed having these amenities but I'm not sure if the room cost was higher solely for the purposes of these.

Cons:

The bed that I had was very unsupportive for my back needs and kept making noise every time I sat on it because of how it was lacking in firmness in the springs and mattress. The room was also not super clean because we found an earring and a fake eyelash on the side of the bed, and walking across the room barefoot, my feet got pretty dirty. However, we ate grateful there were no bugs to be seen. Lastly, we went out and came back and there was no parking on-site. For as few rooms that they have, apparently they run out of parking! No instructions were given about what to do when parking is full so we waited until a space was available. Overall, it was a decent stay, but I would prefer it to be cheaper for the lack of cleaning and parking situation.
