No live person at night to check in. There is a virtual agent. The check in was not a problem, but it’s nice to have a live human in front of you. The property is old and run down. The rooms are extremely dirty. There was black mold in the bathroom. Food was left in the microwave. There was urine stains down the side of the toilet. Paint is chipped everywhere. I would not stay here again.

If your coning for Halloweentown just drive back to Portland and stay there! This place is one of the worst hotels I've stayed at. Its dirty wirh hair in the bed, the a/c & heater didn't work, theres no one working here you check in at a kiosk using skype, the walls are paper thin, and the pillows are a sad excuse and are flat and lifeless like they've been used for 10 years or more. Plus you only get 2 and theres no one to get more from or to change them out. I swear i can here the neighbor's conversation word for word through the wall. Can't fall asleep because it's too hot and noisy plus i can't get over the disgusting feeling this place gives you. Oh and it smells musty!

I stayed at this property from October 11-14 and it was the worst hotel stay I’ve ever experienced. For starters, there was no one in the office at any point during my stay. I was only able to speak to someone through Skype whenever I went in. The room was disgusting as far as cleanliness goes. The toilet paper roll was clearly used by the previous guest and there was hair on the floor and inside the shower. The sheets had little black hairs on them and yellow and red stains. The light in the room didn’t work and anything we plugged into the outlet just fell out. There was a party next door the first night we stayed and the music played into the next morning. There was sharpie writing on the wall and the floor was so gross. There were crumbs everywhere. I tried to email and call to file a complaint and each time I called, the line would go dead after about 5 minutes of being on hold. It has been impossible to get ahold of anyone.

We stayed here because it’s the closest hotel to halloween town. The rooms were clean but there was ants in the bathroom everywhere. Someone on the computer greeted us to check in. Besides that i don’t have much to say, it’s a motel and stayed here because it’s 1 of the 2 closest in st helen’s for where we were going.

Two stars is pretty generous. Check in is done through a kiosk with a virtual clerk. Feels very ‘welcome to Costco, I love you’. Room was freezing, and so old and crusty. It was as clean as it could be considering everything seemed to be from the 70’s. The heater was busted and didn’t work. Towels smelt like smoke. Toilet was leaking all over the bathroom floor. Walls are paper thin, heard the neighbors partying (loud music and shouting) all night. Dogs barking through the night, dog and people hair all up in the bedding. The music was still playing when we got up at 6:00am. OYO was the only hotel available in town when we booked a few months ago. Chatted with another couple staying there waiting to settle out at the Kozy Corner diner, their room was covered in black mold and had food left in it from previous guests. It’s only in business because it’s one of two hotels in Halloweentown and is very clearly run by a shady oversees business. Should have been a $60.00 a night stay instead of the $130.00 it cost. 10/10 would not recommend.

Chose this hotel (motel) in town for Halloweentown. It was close and we ended up loving the city of St Helens. But, right when we walked into our room, it REAKED of old cigarette smoke that never went away. The beds were hard as rocks and we had 2 pancake flat pillows per bed. There was black mold growing in the corners of the tub and we found three spiders in the bathroom during our 3 night stay

Gross
Disgusting. There were two garbage cans right out front of our door, swarming with bees and flies. When we opened the door, there were more flies swarming inside as well as fruit flies hovering over all the walls. The room reeked of cigarette smoke, even though it says no smoking. The shower floor was so corroded and disgusting, I would not step in there barefoot. The air-conditioning unit was rusting and hanging by a thread off the wall. Upon close review, there were strange little black and red stains on the sheets. After being there for only two hours, we decided we couldn’t sleep safely or soundly and checked out. The only positive thing was the very kind female manager on duty.

Not close to Halloween town
There is only a person there till 2pm, so when we arrived we had to check in with a kiosk. Strangest thing. We touched the screen and a person came on to print us a room key. She then told us to get towels and sheets behind the divider if we wanted more. The room had an odor of stale cigarette smoke, even though the rooms are non smoking. The room is very minimal, a small fridge, one chair,bed, and microwave. Make sure to bring your own toiletries because you get a 1/2 dollar size soap and a very small bottle of shampoo, no Kleenex . The walls are very thin, we were on the bottom and could hear everything from above us, make sure to take a sound machine to try and cover the noise. No coffee maker. The motel seemed like it was a rent by the hour. Would not stay there again. The only reason we booked it is because we thought it was close to Halloween town, but instead it was 5-10 minutes drive away.

Prepare for anything that can go wrong.
Booked a king premium room with Kitchenette. Got to the motel and they gave us a queen bed. I let the manager know I booked a king. She was extremely rude. She said she has permanent residents in all the king kitchenette room suites and that this is a problem every year during Halloweentown. I asked for a discounted rate due to not getting what I booked. She said she was unable to help me. I asked why I wasn’t notified so I could plan accordingly between sleeping arrangements and food brought. She rudely said that it wasn’t her problem. This is the second time I’ve stayed. Hoped that it was a 1x thing and it was not.

Only one complaint.
Except for the scary steep stairs up to our room or stay was fantastic as usual. We are repeat customers at this location. Though they said there was no ground floor rooms available I did notice that there was at least two that had failed reservations that were actually available. As a person with a disability I figured out how to navigate the scary cement stairs that were cracked and triggered my anxiety but I figured it out. As usual the room was clean, the beds were comfortable and the water was hot for showers and had good pressure even being upstairs. They do need to make all the hotels more Ada accessible though that is my only complaint.

Great location near Spirit of Halloweentown area and Bella Swan ( Twilight ) house. There is plenty of parking and the room came with a fridge and microwave. However, the room does have a weird smell. I bought febreeze and fixed the problem. Overall I’d come again- of course with a room spray and personal blanket.

The hotel isn’t bad. Expedia is my real issue. Not being familiar with the area I requested Ridgefield Washington to stay. Expedia had this place listed as only 13 miles away. Sounded great! Except it’s an hour drive because you have to drive some distance to get to a bridge to cross the river. So yes if I had a helicopter it’s 13 miles. If I need to come to St Helen’s I would stay here.
