Pros:

The downtown location is great. Very easy to walk around

Cons:

The hotel does not have an elevator. We were put on the 3rd floor with heavy bags. The room was very small. The shower stall is a corner. We couldn't stay with all these factors. The most significant, being the very steep, multi-flight stairs. We had a 5 night reservation. The hotel charged us for two nights, which seemed fair. It was very disappointing. We wanted to stay in downtown Camas.

Comfortable,relaxing stay
Pros:

The campus boutique hotel is in an excellent location. Although the rooms are small, they are very functional and cozy. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The old time pictures and historical vibe were special. Our room included breakfast at Natalia‘s just down the block. Natalia’s food was amazing.

Great! We loved the location and walk ability. Staff was friendly and helpful and the room was comfortable and cute. Wou
Pros:

Great location, friendly staff, clean room, cute and historic!

Cons:

With old buildings come some old building problems… nothing that would stop us from coming back. The AC is just a wall unit and it was definitely fighting for its life. Would turn on and off in the night and was pretty loud so it would keep waking us up. Again, very minor issue.

Strong qualms about germs with no papertowels in bathroom but otherwise, quite lovely!
Pros:

I loved the staff. Especially Zoe, she did an incredible job with our questions and she exceeded expectations! Thank you so much Zoe for making the trip wonderful. Also not sure of the housekeepers name but our interactions with her were also lovely and she exceeded expectations as well! 10\10! Location was central and I loved the extra blanket in the room.

Cons:

I found it super weird that none of the bathrooms hand anything to dry your hands with. No paper towels, hand towels, disposable wipes, NOTHING. I found this odd and for what we paid why not provide something to dry your hands? As a healthcare worker it also makes me wonder about spread of germs throughout the entire hotel.. hand rails, door handles, kitchen, chairs etc.. My 80 year old mother stated she used the toilet paper to dry her hands which made her feel weird knowing that when the toilet flushed it got germs on it. Her hands were already "dirty" even after that touching our door handle. We both rewashed our hands in our room, but felt we carried germs into the room. It was just weird and a super unsanitary practice.

There were showers available which was lovely but no towels provided in the room for a shower which I realize may save money for the hotel in many ways but if a person did not realize they needed to ask for a towel before the front desk closed just annoying. Our room keys stopped working several times throughout our stay and we had to go down and get new ones. Also, not nice to have do once the front desk was closed and a our key cards did not work. These key cards were not kept with phones or other devices to suck the power from them. Had we not had a third party with us we would have unable to even get into the building.

Pros:

Historic hotel that had clean, comfortable rooms with fully operational amenities.

Cons:

Pet fee.. charging for a pet, as if they were another human being in the room. I understand the cleaning deposit and agree, if an owner can't control their animals, they should pay for the clean-up but just to charge for the presence of a pet is not right!
