Everything was just right. Polite employees, quick response time on requesting backed up tub drain, very clean and comfortable room and good breakfast, one of the better Continental breakfasts in town. It was served before 7:00 a.m. and all of the workers were upbeat and pleasant. Will definitely stay here again for our Mount Baker trips

Breakfast selections limited. Would have liked more fresh fruit. The room was very clean. We selected a king with extra space, and the bathroom more than accommodated my walker. The pool was inside, warm, and ok for water arobic exercise, too small for laps. Also, the poolroom included a private shower room where you can shower, dry off, dress,returning to our room without dripping all over the elevator
