"With only relatively minor issues, the stay was great. It was our first time at this location; we usually stayed at the Red Lion that is now burned down. Cost was pretty close to the same but the place is much better than Red Lion ever was: Same breakfasts, cleaner rooms, somewhat better Internet. The downside in comparison was a smaller pool and a hottub that is currently in the middle of remodel; the jets have to be turned on by staff because it is currently powered by a wet/dry vac. There is also no elevator, so if you want the second floor, you still need to take the stairs. The windows are thicker, meaning a lot less noise. And the staff is excellent, all friendly and very knowledgable of the area. Having graduated from Kelso High School, there are a couple of local laments like the condition of the mall that had just opened the two years I was at Kelso High and the current (hopefully only one more year) closure of the end-of-the-road Mt. St. Helens observatory. Beyond that, my family and I greatly appreciate this place and our stay there in July 2026."
