My room was modern and well-designed. And Lauren at the front desk went above and beyond by calling me days before check-in to say I should book a different room to insure my special request could be honored.

The hotel was just renovated and an excellent job. ONE suggestion would have been to install higher toilets. Ageing clientele have difficulty with standard/low toilets. Getting up and down challenging and there were no hand holds.

Quiet and comfortable, and staff seemed extra careful to make sure everything worked - present, pleasant and responsive! One small issue is the Gym is a full gym next door - a plus, but the hours are limited to when it's open. Loved hot tub!

This is my second stay at this hotel. I needed a quick, quiet, clean place to stay before the Chuckanut 50k trail run. I appreciate the proximity to restaurants, especially Starbucks which opens at 5am. If I run this race again, I will absolutely book this hotel again.
