Pros:

Stor rom, god seng

Cons:

Utrolig kaldt golv i dusjerommet, vatn over heile rommet etter dusj. Dørane lukker seg med enormt smell.

Convenient, clean & spacious
Pros:

Location was easy on/off to I-5 (yet tucked away nicely so as to be quiet), and served our exact purpose of being a way station. Check-in & check-out were efficient, breakfast was enough to get us going, and room was clean & spacious. We didn't have time to take advantage, but both the pool and fitness facility looked well kept and quite nice!
