Covid makes it awkward. But the room was lovely. Tho my friend who I was traveling with had issues with his door unlocking. The hinges needed to be adjusted to align with the door lock. But my room and amenities were fine. Plenty of hot water in the shower and AC was cold.

Nice quiet room. Hotel was easy off the freeway. Check in at the diner - new way to do things. Vaughn is almost a ghost town, there were plenty of empty rooms however the management was only taking about 1/4th capacity. All we could get was a queen room. Only 10 cars in the lot?? Don’t know what’s up with all that. But this was the nicest hotel in town!!

Super clean, comfortable, afforable and unexpecting surprise! Our family was passing through and wanted to grab a bite to eat at cool little diner. Was getting late so decided to check if the hotel had any rooms available. Lady at diner said there was, gave me one price and then after we ate I went to pay for the room and she gave me a discount. What a blessing for the end of our journey! I wouldn't say their unprofessional like the other reviews they are just young working at a diner and juggling a hotel on the side. Nice people and clean affordable diner that's 24/7 :-) is a great bonus!!

This is a really nice hotel. It looks pretty new but I don't really know how old it is. The suites are very roomy and comfortable and clean and the mattresses were so very cushiony and comfortable. The room we were in has a temperature control on the wall instead of the old fashioned ones under the window. The staff were very helpful and cordial. The breakfast area is nice and bright with nice tables and chairs and had numerous food choices. There is a separate area with a coffee machine that serves both decaf and regular coffee in three different strengths. Also there was a big glass container with ice, fresh water and lemon slices in it. I would certainly recommend this hotel for the price and amenities.

I became stranded in Vaughn during a snowstorm, and thought I might have trouble getting a room, or that motels/lodges might be over-charging, because they could. I was SO pleasantly surprised at the rate of the room, and was very pleased at the quality and comfort of the room. I recommend folks stay in Vaughn voluntarily, on their travels. Make the Diner next door a part of your experience!

I was surprised! After I read the reviews I didn't want to stay there... but luckily I got the last available room in the area. It was pricey. I really don't like Travelodge because they are usually run down hotels. However, this is definitely the nicest, cleanest, an most comfortable room that I have ever had at a Travelodge... I was in room 109... I can say it was a great stay.... they should change to a Choice hotel... like Comfort Inn or something... keep up the great work!

Positives: Clean rooms. Not too loud. Did not expect that great of quality due to limited options in town, and the price of the hotel. Overall excellent experience! I’ll say it again. Clean rooms . Pet friendly. Downside: beds aren’t too comfy
