I stayed for 4 nights and it was wonderful from start to finish. Big shoutout to Juliet at the front desk, she is amazing !
Gary, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

While the hotel was definitely ever bit budget they tell you;)--the staff was really warm and helpful. The key card reader had some issues, but the staff works well and knows the quirks. I just rested my head here a night on my way to up to Portland, and it was all I needed. Warm shower and a bed(even if it wasn't the fluffiest thing in the world), WiFi, and the experience was just fine. Do be aware you hear street noise just outside, but my night actually wasn't bad for that.

Fernando, 4-night trip

Had to park down the street to have a cheaper price. This street had a few homeless people on it throughout the day. The temperatures at night got down to 50⁰ and this hotel only has space heaters.

Great value and very well located

The location is superb and you can walk to many of the attractions. The staffs are incredibly helpful and friendly. While the room is a bit small, it is comfortable and quiet. I enjoyed my stay and had very restful sleep during my two nights stay in the hotel.

Jeremy, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

Ronnie was an excellent help in getting us checked in, providing parking, dining, & local sites info. The female clerk working the morning of our check out was indifferent and not pleasant. Although conveniently located, the cost of the parking garage with ‘valet service’ was ridiculous! They wouldn’t even bring our car to the front of the hotel. I had to leave my 89 y/o mother waiting in the lobby while I retrieved the car. $70 for 2 nights was too much!
Monica, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

not for solo females

if you are a FEMALE SOLO TRAVELER, DO NOT STAY HERE. The owner, who is also female ANNOUNCED my room number OUT LOUD at the front desk. out of all my travels, i have NEVER had any desk attendant shout out my room number. Although there was only 1 other male customer at the counter, it shows how careless she was. BEING SAFE means alot to me and it should to you as well.
shermona, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Rooms were fine for short trip where you are very busy, had everything you needed, as well as clean and comfortable. The Filipino lady (sorry I cannot place her name at the moment) was spectacular! Kind and the definition of hospitable. Miss her already and her warm smile and conversation. Breakfast (David's) was amazing. Just a normal; eggs, hash browns, bacon & sausage, toast - guy here though. Went there twice with the 15% discount for staying with Touchstone.
