Our family celebrates kid birthdays at indoor pools sometimes due to the weather being unpredictable in WA. We have been to many hotels in the area. This one is by far our favorite. The lobby is spacious and provides seating for us to sit and have food throughout the day. The room was clean and spacious. The double queen suite is perfect for a family of 5. The front desk staff, Deshawn, was kind and attentive. Cecilia and Luz provided our breakfast the next morning, they were both sweet and responded when the guests eating breakfast requested anything. Thank you guys. We will be back!

Staff great. Rooms clean. It is noisy with trains outside. They offer earplugs and white noise machine but don’t really say why it might be a good idea. Take them if you’re a light sleeper.
