The hotel rooms were good in temperature, making it easy to stay in on a rainy day. They were not as clean as expected and slightly small, but still suitable for a couple. The service was slow but accommodating and incredibly helpful and attentive, especially when dealing with the bed and shower. The location was nice and quiet, albeit a bit of a walk to the center. The dining experience was overpriced but the restaurant offered very good dishes. The facilities were decent with transportation close by.

The hotel has its ups and downs. The rooms, despite a strong cigarette smoke smell and being a bit small, offer some level of comfort. The service, while friendly and accommodating, can be hit or miss. The location is decent, close to transportation but a bit far from the center. The dining options are subpar, with overpriced and mediocre choices. Overall, it's a mixed bag in terms of experience.

The hotel offers comfortable rooms with real cream containers for gourmet coffee but faces a busy intersection. The service is very expensive but helpful and responsive at all hours. The location is excellent for accessing downtown and PSU, with various transportation options nearby. The dining is overpriced and mediocre, with French bread being a highlight.

The room was decent for the price paid, but some improvements are needed like better airflow and fixing damages before charging premium rates. The service had its ups and downs, with a mix of helpfulness and lack of friendliness, but certain amenities were appreciated. The location, while good for specific activities, still has room for enhancement to reach a top-tier status. Dining options were disappointing and overpriced.

The hotel rooms could have more to offer for the price and felt a bit outdated. While not as clean as expected, the presence of darts and pool tables added a fun touch to the stay. The service was really friendly, especially Brennon, who was super helpful during check-in and check-out. However, more knowledge about local dining and attractions would enhance the experience. The location was convenient for exploring the city on foot, though not as ideal as expected. The dining experience was overpriced but still enjoyable. The hotel facilities offered opportunities for entertainment and relaxation.
