Basic motel for one night by airport

Clean motel with basic amenities and friendly staff. We stayed in a comfort queen room which was quite snug, Esp. Considering it was larger than the basic room in which our friend stayed. My husband had to move the bed away from the wall n put a trash can upside down to accommodate my cpap. He had a side table for his but i did not. The Breakfast room was the lobby and only had 3 chairs. The breakfast offerings were decent, nothing hot. No way to make coffee in the room. However the coffee in the lobby was very good. We paid $161 for our room. It was ok for a night by the airport, but we would not stay there longer.

Really friendly staff and spacious room. Close to the airport and grocery stores. Most tours offer pick up here. I do recommend renting a car. If you stay in the first floor, the second floor may be loud.

The place was clean and quiet and the bed was comfortable. Staff was pleasant. If all you need is rest, this is the place. The room was small, not much to enjoy if you stay in. No real view of the windows. Worst of all, i kept wanting to get my tools and fix the sprung door and hinges on my room. I'm not sure a 100lb person could have even closed my door. I'd stay again, but hope the improvements continue.

Had a great stay at Golden North Inn. It’s not fancy but clean, safe, walking distance to Fred Meyer, provides free airport shuttle, and has decent continental breakfast. The staff are very helpful and welcoming. The bed was comfortable.

We only stopped in for a short time. The bed was comfortable, the showers were hot, and the front desk people were so kind! The only negative we had was the planes fly low nearby so it was a little nerve racking along with what we assumed was some construction at the hotel that made it noisy. Would stay again!
