8/10 Good
"Not a five star hotel, so don’t expect the perfect room. Needs TLC (some paint and a bit of small renovations. Ex: our mirror had burn marks at the top left and our bathroom had some paint chipping). But overall, really clean and convenient for the price. FYI- they were out of conditioner when we arrived so make sure to bring your own toiletries. Check in and out was quick and swift. Don’t worry about not having free breakfast either. Woodland has great breakfast options (Matt’s Diner, Red Leaf Coffee, etc.). 45 minute drive to Ape Canyon, Mount St. Helens. Great area for access to the south side of the mountain."
