The room was very noisy causing loss of sleep. The air conditioner was old and noisy. The refrigerator created a loud whining noise. The door was not sufficiently soundproof, and guests and guides spoke audibly outside our room throughout the night.

There was nothing wrong with the hotel or the room. Nothing spectacular either. The property looked run down on first arrival but the room was very clean and the staff worked hard making sure the entire property was clean. I enjoyed the stay in this beautiful town.

The first night was great, no problems. The second night we had a noisy neighbor that I think was made worse because of the adjoining door between the rooms. There’s also construction on the building next door that was loud in the morning. I liked everything else about the hotel. The location was great. We were able to walk around downtown to breweries and restaurants.

Not so happy.

I reserved 3 rooms for 3 nights two weeks in advance. Hotel doesn't bother looking at any special requests like Adjoining rooms, which we did request. We couldn't have been scattered further apart and still be in the same hotel. One of the rooms, which happened to be the best room of the 3, had the sheetrock falling from the ceiling in the bathroom. The girl at the front desk was argumentative about giving us another room. Thought that maintenance was going to just clean it up with a handful of rags. We did see maintenance going in there the following day with ladders and sheetrock mud. The hotel in general is just plagued with examples of poor maintenance, sloppy patch jobs. Very disappointing for a Best Western

The hotel was in a very good location to walk to most restaurants and the train to Silverton. The room was large and the bed comfortable. One thing I thought was strange is the hotel is built around an indoor swimming pool, which during my stay was FILLED with screaming children jumping and splashing. This is not a place you want to visit if you're hoping to have a romantic stay. Another thing they "forgot" to tell me was that if you want housekeeping services, you have to ask. Such a disappointment to come back from the Silverton train in the evening and find your room was not refreshed. I only gave 3 stars because this is what to expect here.
