We chose Best Western because the quality is reliable, and we had a short, but enjoyable stay.
Pros:

Great location. Easy to get to the Maritime Museum and local restaurants. Friendly and helpful staff, clean room, plenty of parking. This Best western is right next to the Columbia River, and when we were outside, we could hear Sea Lions barking!

Cons:

There was a pool, but the temperature was a little too cool to swim in. However, there was a hot tub.
