Good overall
Pros: check in was easy, desk clerk was pleasant, inside was clean, bed was comfortable, TV was clear with many channels, high tech bathroom mirror, well priced, room had a sofa
Cons: near airport, sidewalk outside rooms was very dirty, no table or chairs for dining in the room, no night table but a glass disc attached to the wall wide enough to hold only my cell phone.

Hot tub suite
We stayed in the hot tub suite. The hot tub itself is really nice, but the room and bathroom were dirty. Crumbs in the fridge and hair in the bathroom. The bathroom didnt have an overhead light just a lighted mirror. The bed was so uncomfortable and the room was very small has no desk or nightstands or room to put anything. Just a small shelf under the tv and a bench at the end of the bed

Room was ehh
Check in was a little slow. Room was ok. I reserved a queen room but got a full bed. There were blood stains on the floor, on a few towels and in the bed sheets. The bed was not comfortable at all. They had half a roll of toilet paper. Only had shampoo and no hand soap. The cool thing about the room was the jacuzzi on the room.

This is a nice small property that’s well taken care of. There’s plenty of parking. It’s close to Black Bear Diner and Denny’s as well as some smaller restaurants. There’s a 24 hour Walgreens close by. I traveled alone and felt safe

Very Clean and Nice!
It was very clean, smelled good, and front desk was very nice. However, there were stains on the sofa and the bathroom was on the smaller side. You can also hear the neighbors because of the thin walls.

I have stayed at this property several times. It’s easy to get to. It’s quiet and clean. There’s places close by to eat, a Safeway is just down the street along with several other stores. The only thing I will say is lacking is an ice machine. Even if you have to get it from the front desk. I usually have to go somewhere and get a small bag

In general the room was nice and spacious but they gave me the handicap room I didn't ask for it. The first thing I noticed when I walked in the door was a heavy stench of body odor sweat yes they had a couch there but it was staying on them all sides and it was pretty mushy that couch needs to go it was in the high 40s and low 50s so the heater was on so whenever the thermostat kicked it on it usually blew cold air for the first 10 15 seconds and since the heater blows right onto the bed it kind of made it a little uncomfortable other than that place was great

Pleasant Stay @ Fremont Inn
I just stayed one night at The Fremont Inn & the room was small but had everything I needed with a Great TV.
It’s a great place to stay for maybe a night or 2 but no longer than that.
