As expected.
Pros:

Perfect for my needs. Affordable, an excellent proximity to WWU, and the staff was very approachable.

Cons:

Nothing I can think of -- it suited my needs.

Just fine place to stay if you need a place to sleep for the night or two.
Pros:

Close to WWU and inexpensive is a plus for sure. If you are not picky and need a place to sleep for a night or two, this is a good option. Staff is friendly.

Cons:

Like other reviews, outdated rooms and facilities. There is a certain odor in the hallways that is not pleasant at all, Fixing this would help immensely with the rest of experience.
Handyman working on one of the rooms had his truck running in the back parking lot for hours into the night. And windows/walls are super thin.
Pool is out of commission, which is ok because I couldn’t imagine hanging by the pool in this location. Maybe in 1980 is was a better vibe.

I had to cut my stay short and moved to another hotel nearby. I did not receive a refund!
Pros:

Not applicable

Cons:

The room was infested with cockroaches. I had to go to the bathroom at night and when I turned on the light dozens of cockroaches where running everywhere: on the table, on the television screen, on the mirror, etc.

Pros:

The room was clean and comfortable, dated but the linens were comfortable, and the staff were wonderful. I left my bathing suit and towel in the room and they called us immediately to let us know it would be at the front desk for pick up. Would stay here again!

Cons:

The hotel has a bit of a smell but our room was non smoking and was fine.
