The hotel is like new since the remodel. Very clean, very nice environment. Everything except some of the Gen Z wingnut employees made the stay great. Can't blame the hotel for the asocial idiots they are forced to hire.

Everything was just right.

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
