Everything about the service and cleanliness of the room was awesome. Only complaint is the bed comfort sucks. Felt like I was sleeping on a stack of cardboard boxes..
other then that, very pleased with everything else.
Neglected doesn't begin to describe the despair in this crap hole! Someone please call the St Helen's health department and shut this place down! Don't even get me started on the fact that you have to pay a $60 cash deposit! What kind of gig are they running here!!! This place isn't work $20 a night! Disgusting!

Check in was easy, room was clean, simple but adequate. The odd thing was the requirement for a cash only deposit, made things kind of questionable, but we did get the deposit back on check out. Otherwise, it's a fine no-rills hotel.

Decent Motel. Due to weather we spent more time in the room than expected…
A refundable CASH only deposit with no change option was a bit annoying. Had a $100 bill that had to go to bar to get change…

Disliked: Staff & service
I would like to request a refund. We had spoke to the front desk about a super late check in time. And when we arrived we never got let into our room. The front office had an open sign but nobody was around to ever help us out. We had to sleep in our car. We booked this place due to a big family party we had nearby so they mew we would be checking in late. But that wasn’t the case for us. We called multiple times and never received a call back or an answer.
Kind of a scary place! Needs to be updated, though they have tried with the throw pillows. Second floor balconey looked like it is in its last days. Office is tiny. Requires $60 cash only deposit which I'm sure was in the email I didn't read. My husband had to go to the ATM in an even scarier lounge next door. Then the office person checked our room before we left. A room in St. Helens is hard to get in October so we were thankful there was an opening, but we wont stay here again. I will say that both staff people we spoke with were friendly and helpful.
The staff at check in , were SO accommodating and pleasant. Parking was easy and free - right out front. They had just cleaned the room, so I could see the floor had been done and it smelled nice. But, the condition of the bathroom was less than ideal… I didn’t want to shower there. There was a fly in our room and a few dead and alive ants…. Not a lot of them but enough. The bed looked nice, but only two flat pillows - so I may advise to bring your own. We honestly didn’t want to stay the night, so drove home.
Everything was good. You should be ready for a cash deposit of $60.00. They ask for this deposit when you check in
The room was clean and the place was quiet.
