I had a very bad experience at Steelhead Inn - I arrived the evening of my reservation and they had no rooms for me; they had overbooked the Inn. I had to scramble to find another hotel room in the city. I thought it was unacceptable how they handle the property reservations, and the front desk staff told me this has happened before.

The walls a thin and noises in neighboring rooms are audible. There was a strong smell of mold in the bathroom. On the positive side, the property is clean and rooms are equipped with microwaves and minifridges.

room was clean. we thought the bed was uncomfortable but beds are a personal preference, others may love it. website states office is open from 9:30am-11pm. we got there a little before 2:30, no one around. number on window to call for help, no one answered. finally after 10 minutes i saw a worker, he said he would get someone. she told we can't check in until 3pm! i have NEVER been told by any motel or hotel i couldn't check in if i was a bit early. i was told to come back after 3! wi-fi wouldn't work in my room. i told front desk but she said it was an incorrect password....well, it works 3 doors up. told another worker about it and he said he would check it out, it didn't work the entire time we were there unless i went 3 doors closer to the office.

Pool was dirty and bedsprings were broken.making bed slant downhill..staff was rude upon checkout when told about boxsprings. She acted like we must have broken them. We didnt tell them the night before due to it being late when we realized it and we just propped it up best we could.

No coffee maker in the room even though there were coffee cups and coffee provided. Saw bugs in bathroom. Air conditioner very loud and old. Comfy bed. Neighbor's child came in our room when one of us stepped outside to car.

DO NOT STAY HERE!!! I checked in and was given a key to a room that was already occupied. I knew that it was already occupied because there was luggage in the room when I opened the door. Luckily the person occupying the room wasn’t in there, or that would’ve been very awkward. I went back to the front desk to bring it to their attention and they gave me a key to another room and that room had stained sheets, and the bathroom wasn’t cleaned thoroughly. I went to the front desk and asked to just cancel the reservation because I was unhappy with the service. They informed me that I would have to cancel with Expedia. Once I called Expedia to cancel, Expedia said that they would have to call the property to confirm the situation. Once the representative from Expedia got back on the line, they told me that this establishment is denying the refund. I called the property and the property manager was very nasty. Please don’t waste your money here. Learn from my experience. I hope this helps the next person with their booking.
