Don't Stay in Rooms 228 or 229!
When we arrived, we were first given an isolated room in the back of the motel on the 2nd floor overlooking what appeared to be a small junkyard. The curtains were too short for the window, the room was in general neglect, and most importantly, the heater, whose grate was encased with at least a few years of lint, didn't work. Rm. 229. When we requested a different room, the manager gave us a suite in a different building that was nicely maintained and clean, at no additional cost. He was working with a skeleton crew which appeared to consist of just himself, so it was understandable that he was reluctant to leave the desk to get us a box of kleenex or some hand soap. Breakfast was from 7-9. We arrived at 8:30 to find very little left to choose from, and no one there to assist with making sure there was adequate food until 9:00. Don't know why we were first given, what I hope, was the worst room in the motel, when there appeared to be an abundance of vacancies, but we don't blame the manager for the lack of service. It's the lazy staff who apparently bailed on an off-season weekend.

Clean enough, good breakfast, avoid room 317
The hotel was clean enough. It’s better than some at that price. The problem was that the heat didn’t work in our first room-no problem, we were quickly switched to an upgraded suite. Unfortunately, it was next to the breakfast room. At midnight or so there was very loud banging and noise as workers prepared for the next day’s breakfast. This probably lasted 40 min, the resumed again at 5:30 am. Very-thin walls, apparently. Just don’t get room 317 unless you don’t plan to sleep. Btw-the breakfast was much better than expected.

Great experience for a low price
For a cheap motel in a small town, this was about as good as it gets. Clean carpet, comfortable bed with clean sheets and good pillows, lots of clean towels. The bathroom sink and countertop were brand new (unexpected)....the toilet and bathtub were old but entirely adequate. The window curtains were ripped and the AC unit looked like it was on its last legs but worked well. Quiet overnight, big breakfast offered (though standard continental stuff, and not all of it fresh). Overall, slept great and was very satisfied for $80.

Good no frills place
The place does not have good curb appeal but the room was nice. Very basic but recently remodeled. Quite comfortable. Good continental breakfast.

Just ok in Goldendale
Hotel was definitely dated. Room was clean and bed was ok. Breakfast was terrible and the body wash in the shower was out and there was no soap to substitute! Not my favorite place to stay

The hotel is a bit older, but combined with the location and price its a good deal. If you just need an economical hotel to sleep for the night it is a good place to rest.

The room has been updated but it still looks a bit “tired” BUT it has a great kitchen with a full size stove and fridge. I was just there for the night but it is great to know for the future. The person who checked me in was very nice and changed my room from the 2nd floor to ground level which I appreciated. The best part was complimentary breakfast. They actually cooked the eggs, sausage and potatoes on site and didn’t use frozen precooked “hot” food. They had a great selection of cold breakfast options along with juice, tea and coffee. The breakfast made this motel a great value. I will definitely stay again.
