BEST WESTERN Shadow Inn, Woodland

It was quite nice for a motel, with tasteful interior decor and a microwave/mini-frig in the room. We had an iron and hairdryer. The room was extremely clean and well maintained. The included breakfast is just coffee, tea, orange/apple juice, cold cereal, milk, fruit, and donuts. The staff didn't object when my wife took a few breakfast items back to her room. We've stayed at another chain motel in Woodland, and this one was considerably nicer for only marginally more (consider there's included breakfast and internet access, although we didn't bring along a computer). The staff was very helpful during checkin and checkout. My only caveats are that they must a water softener, and some rooms may suffer from road noise. I still felt slippery after completely washing off soap, which is apparently a consequence of the water softening. It also tastes a little bit different. We had an outside location next to I-5 and could hear road traffic, and the rooms aren't well insulated from noise from other rooms. If you can, perhaps ask for a room on the inside that may be shielded from the freeway.

the service was good; it is a clean place. the location is not close enough to downtown or any shopping centers. a bit over price like many other hotels in woodland.
