    Avoid! Followed the directions but never made it. Go to the Arco station right off the freeway instead.

    Decent enough for a rest and stretch my legs after driving for a couple of hours. There is a sign…read morethat indicates eight hours of parking is permitted which is nice. There are separate areas for trucks and cars. Both have some decent tall trees for shade and are nicely far from the noise of the highway if you were thinking of taking a nap. Some trash and the rest room needed attention. But if you just want to walk around without getting off the highway, this works. [Review 20858 overall - 115 in Washington - 1842 of 2023.]

    We visited the southbound rest area, the one that doesn't have the big dead tree stump. There was…read moreplenty of parking surrounded by green grass and tall trees. Trucks and passenger vehicles parked in different lots separated by the washrooms. The washrooms were about as clean as you can expect for a roadside rest stop, and the water to wash your hands was warm - a nice touch. There is a pet area to the edge of the rest area near the cars where pets are supposed to stay on leash. Closer to the washroom building is a larger grassy area with a couple of picnic tables and some trees were my children ran free to get their wiggles out. The only downside to this rest area is the very irresponsible animal owners that rudely let their animals run outside of the pet area, leaving dog bombs that didn't get picked up. My youngest stepped in dog poop not once, but twice. Thankfully he was wearing rain boots so it was possible to wash it off, but sheesh. Not what we had hoped for. PICK UP AFTER YOUR ANIMALS!

    I am sitting on the bed in room 22B, and I'll tell you...I am pleased as punch. It is clean, and…read moretastefully, sparcely decorated with an IKEA meets World Market vibe. Now if you know me at all, you KNOW I love fresh air. At many hotels, I 100% loathe the act of desperately sucking my "fresh air" through some dusty window air conditioner thingy, but in 22B, glory be! I can open fully an old-wood-framed window and lay here gazing at the green leaves of a tree swaying in the breeze as I inhale copious lungfuls of the oxygen I love so much. In addition to free air, free breakfast is also promised, which is pretty normal in hotels, but get this...drumroll...FREE DINNER and a drink! We, unfortunately went out and wasted our money on bad food at a restaurant (Dosa Paragon...read the review), so don't know how the free dinner was here. My expectations are reasonable, so if they have coffee and bread at breakfast, we are good! If they have a waffle spinner,that would be typical but surprising here. Yes, it's a little noisy, but not as much as I feared for being in the heart of a bustling downtown. Stay here and get room 22B! Update: Excellent breakfast and there is a communal kitchen! No waffle spinner.

    *BED BUGS* Stayed in Room 17K and left early because the…read moreroom was gross -- hairs in the bed, dirty counters, and a small red bug in the sheets that I *hoped* wasn't a bed bug. Spoiler alert: it was. The air freshener under the sink was so strong it made me nauseous. When I tried to check out early, instead of asking "How was your stay?" or trying to help, the front desk just said, "No refund for you!" -- which is a great way to make a guest feel unwelcome, not valued. They say they don't want to greet guests that way, but that's exactly what happened. Management says they "need to be advised at the time" to fix issues, but how was I supposed to report bugs at check-in when I hadn't even been in the room yet? And when I tried to raise concerns at checkout, I was cut off. So, no chance to fix things on site -- which they say is why they won't refund me. They admit their "high standards of quality" weren't met -- the hairs and dirty counters prove that -- and that the "nauseating air freshener" is a love-it-or-hate-it thing they could have removed or even moved me to another room, but none of that happened. They claim they found no evidence of bed bugs but will "treat it as such" because it's a serious complaint. I have photos of the bites I woke up with at home, and I saw a similar bug in my own apartment later. Seems pretty connected to me. Finally, they say they won't refund me because I "threatened" to leave negative reviews -- except I'm just sharing my honest experience, which any traveler deserves to hear. They offered a discount for a future stay, but after this, I won't be going back. If you want a clean, safe place with guest service that actually listens, look elsewhere.
