Stayed 2 nights

The room felt neglected. The bed was rigid and had significant sag to it. Couldn't get into any comfortable positions. The air handler was very loud and squealing. We had no water overnight in the first night of the stay in our room. I do understand that it was very cold outside, however our plumbing lines were run inside the bathroom walls . Ultimately, we did not stay the weekend as planned and left overnight during the first night.

Steelhead Inn is a hangout for riff raff. Super sketchy people everywhere. We had to leave in the middle of the night due to loud guests next to us. I felt really unsafe. Room was dirty. No toilet paper. Drug and alcohol abuse everywhere to be seen. Perminant residents here, living like the place is a drug house. An absolute horrible experience. DO NOT STAY HERE!!!

Was definitely a decent place to stay. You do get what you pay for though. Walls are pretty thin, so you might hear the people next to you. The bed wasnt uncomfortable but definitely worn out. The bathroom is very small but clean. We did have to go ask for toliet paper, as there was none left in the room. Overall, not a terrible place to spend a night, not sure if I would stay longer though.
