Our room was great with an extremely comfortable king bed and plenty of space for computer work. The staff was friendly and the hotel was easily accessed from the highway without the accompanying highway noise. We felt we certainly got our money's worth.
Positives: Exceptionally comfortable bed.
Negatives: Noise from the air conditioner was a bit disturbing.

The location for my purposes was great, several restaurants close by including the one on site. The staff was friendly but not extremely helpful. When I checked in they had me booked with one king sized bed. Since I was traveling with my adult son I requested a room with two beds.
Positives: The location was very good.
Negatives: The water in the shower would not get past just warm.
Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 28 Apr 2008 rated 8 out of 10.
My only real problem was that I called for directions and got really bad directions from the man who answered.
Positives: The bar was lively and comfortable.
Negatives: The pool is outdoors and the spa was closed for repairs.
Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 19 Apr 2008 rated 6 out of 10.
Clean, convenient location, easy to hear to hear through walls. Noisy housekeeping. Check out time is nice, 12noon, although impossible to sleep past 8am when housekeeping started down the hall. The Privacy Please sign was not honored, housekeeping still woke me by knocking on the door.
Positives: The location is good. it's clean.
Negatives: It was very difficult to sleep past 8am, the housekeeping was very noisy in the hallway as the privacy please was not honored. Someone still knocked.

Very nice hotel. Bedding is not as luxurious. Nice lobby, apparent nice restaurant. Great to have a Tully's latte coffee shop right in the lobby!
Positives: Well appointed/updated room, close parking, quiet.
Negatives: Thought I requested two beds; got one king bed.
Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 10 Apr 2008 rated 10 out of 10.
Right next to the freeway, but no freeway noise. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the rooms/hotel. The restaurant in the hotel was too pricey for us, but there was a Shari's just a few buildings down.
Positives: Nice little coffee shop in the lobby.
Negatives: Pool was outdoors & spa was closed.
Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 01 Apr 2008 rated 9 out of 10.
Overall it was a very pleasant stay. The renovations completed since I was there last year are great. The rooms look very nice. The new coffee bar, a Northwest-based franchise called Tully's, is great, and the young lady who worked at the coffee shop was very helpful and friendly. I still can't believe that after the renovations, they have not added an elevator or a business center with a lone computer/printer combo that business travelers can use to print boarding passes. To be such a nice place, I was very surprised that the hotel did not have these two things.
Positives: Comfortable beds, friendly staff, great coffee shop (Tully's).
Negatives: No elevator or business center.

The Hotel overall was nice rooms were clean and the staff friendly. But they still charge for all the amenities in the off season. (outdoor pool closed, hot tub was "broken" work out room consisted of one treadmill, one stair climber, one bike and a TV).
Positives: Nice Bar in hotel.
Negatives: Overpriced for the location and season.

Negatives: I can't think of anything. It was very clean.
