It was delightful and will come again.
Pros:

Close to where I'm supposed to go. They accepted my small dog w/a small fee. Friendly staff.

Cons:

there was nothing I didn't like really, small things that could be improve such as laundry should be free or able to take cards. Barely anyone now a days bring cash. Breakfast should have different menu daily. Since they accept pets, they at least should have a poo poo bag center.

Pleasant and worthwhile.
Pros:

Room was clean and spacious, but the sink was outside of the washroom. Staff were sweet and helpful, easy parking and satisfying breakfast. Would recommend and would stay again.

Cons:

The carpet felt a little moist, the sink was outside of the toilet and shower, the soap/shampoo/conditioner were single use and disposable which is wasteful.

Pros:

I liked their pancake maker and they had a good variety of foods to choose from. Location is good - close to I-5 and Centralia-Chehalis. Comfortable room. Desk clerks were nice - not so much Front Desk Person.

Cons:

Older hotel - toilets sit too low and toilet seat covers
need to be replaced. Front desk person in charge.
