Longview Inn

They checked me in and out quickly. I was there for one night only and it was close to where I needed to go. It was close to restaurants so I had my choice of places that I wanted to eat at.

The place is a flophouse with more rules than a prison posted on every door. Cheap and run down and full of long Time residents that look like the homeless. Pay on arrival. Seedy on the extreme. Should NOT be listed by Expedia. EVER.

Check-in time was 2-6 PM. 6PM is too early. I had to make special arrangements to check in at 8PM. There was confusion over my departure date. The owner asked me to leave a day early out of her confusion, but later got it straight. The WiFi was terrible—reception was okay, but it was limited access not allowing access to most web sites.

This place was hilariously bad. For how bad it is, I would tolerate it for half the price and not complain, but for around 80 a night, this was surreal. Moth eaten curtains, the door had gaps on the seals big enough to fit an envelope through and the front office (right next to my unit) had a strong smell of cat urine, so that seeped into the room. The sheets were also moth eaten and bare, plus the pillows were about as thin as a deck of cards, I woke up with spiders on me twice. Did I sleep in Washington state or in a motel in the heart of the Congo? I rate it high on staff and cleanliness, only because the room smelled freshly bleached and I only shared two sentences with the three staff members I saw at the front office. Everyone was so alien. There was some other guest in a wife beater who stood outside twice and looked like he wanted to fight me. It was straight out of a Modern American Literature novel. Simply unreal.

On my third night (of 3 reserved), the manager incorrectly insisted I wasn’t booked for that third night, although my Expedia reservation clearly showed that I had reserved and had paid for it in full. Manager insisted, incorrectly and rudely, that “you should be gone” . . . I did then leave, under protest. The manager owes me a refund for that paid-for third night. I await that reimbursement.

Floor was sticky when I walked across it. Very poor lighting and the window curtains are horrible. Door had a gap you could see light threw. Lady at counter was fast and got checked it fine.

What a dump. The office and our room had an overwhelming smell of dog urine and poop. On top of that, they added plug-in perfume dispensers (2 per room) that added a sickening sweet chemical overlay, similar to formaldehyde. The “bed” was a queen sized cot on a folding frame and the mattress had all the comfort of a sheet of plywood. The 2 pillows were flat as pancakes and equally comfortless. The furniture and walls bore disturbing signs of domestic violence. There was a high intensity night outside our window that the threadbare curtains did little to block. We would have left immediately were not all other hotel rooms in the town inexplicably booked. I read that Longview was deemed the 7th most beautiful town in the country, but after visiting I have to assume this was written in jest or the author’s concept of beauty was formed in a gulag.

This property is terribly run-down with limited privacy and parking. Nothing to ifferfor amenities and staff were combative and violent with customers. Very bad place!

it was very clean, but the condition of the furniture left a bad taste in my mouth. Retro 1950-60 is really not suitable to today. the Bed was a laughing matter! could have played tetter-totter on it.

Not worth the money we paid, and the office smelled of animal urine and this is a long term property not a real hotel!

No cups for drinking. Dirty and had nerve to charge me $20 cleaning deposit.

First room was filthy, no heat. Moved us to a cleaner room with heat that would not shut off. Friendly helpful staff, quiet for a Saturday night. 11:00 am on the dot Sunday morning the owner pounds on the door for us to check out. Of all the places we've been, never have we been awoken to check out. Most places are pretty lenient about that.

This place is a dive, no wait its a super dive. No service to the room during a week stay, blood stains on the bathroom door along with some splatter, slick staircase, uneven floors. Its really really bad. I woukd rather sleep in my vehicle then stay there again.

First, the good. Everything was clean, and all of the fixtures were in good repair. The hot water was hot, the cold water cold. The bed was reasonably comfortable. Surprisingly, there were even a couple of nice decor pieces in the room. Now, for the not so good. My nominally king sized bed was a queen. The tile floor was cold beyond belief. Every outlet near the bed was switched so they turned the lamps on and off, so I had to unplug the lamps so I could use my CPAP in the dark. This property appears to have had a recent make over, with new paint and touch-ups. As for the service, the staff were great up until just before check out, when my traveling partner got a call from the front desk asking if she would be staying another day. Check out is at 11:00, the call was at 10:30. This motel has a number of crime abatement rules, such as requiring all visitors other than registered guests to sign in. If they were needed, they appear to be working, as the property was quiet and had no problems on a Saturday night. Oh, the property offers a $5 Starbucks card for 4 or 5 star reviews. Guess I'm not getting one.

The room was cold and the air conditioner did not work

I cancelled this reservation. I am hoping that I was not charged!

Every thing was bad. beds were worse than sleeping on the ground . Floors were dirty fist room heater never worked. Could not lock room

The office was closed when I got there and I could not get my room. If they want to keep bankers' hours they should run a bank.
