Home2 Suites by Hilton

Welcome! I’m Michaela, the General Manager of Home2 Suites in Marysville, Washington. My goal is simple: to make sure every guest experiences a stay that feels comfortable and effortless from the moment they arrive. I stay closely connected with my team to ensure we’re not just meeting expectations but creating an experience that feels easy and well thought out.

As an all-suite property, I take pride in offering spaces that are designed to feel more like home than a typical hotel room. Each suite includes a full-sized refrigerator, dishwasher, and dishware, giving guests the flexibility to prepare meals and settle in at their own pace. You’ll also find smart TVs with streaming apps, cable service, and complimentary Wi-Fi to keep you connected. Whether someone is staying one night or several weeks, I want them to feel like they have the space and comfort they need.

Our location just off I-5 is something guests consistently appreciate. We’re only a couple of miles from Tulalip Resort Casino and right next to the Seattle Premium Outlets, which makes it easy to enjoy entertainment, dining, and shopping without going far.

Beyond the rooms, I focus on the details that help guests relax and recharge. Our indoor heated saltwater pool is a favorite, especially after time in the 24-hour fitness center. For business travelers, we offer a lobby business center and a meeting space that provides a convenient place to stay productive while on the road. I’m also proud that we’re a pet-friendly hotel, because I know pets are part of the family, and we’re happy to welcome both dogs and cats.

What stands out most to me is the sense of community we’ve built. Many of our guests stay long-term, and it’s rewarding to see familiar faces return and become part of that experience. My team and I put a lot of emphasis on building genuine connections. Each morning, we invite guests to enjoy our complimentary breakfast, with options like a build-your-own sandwich station, fresh waffles, and a yogurt bar.

At the end of the day, I want every guest to feel at home, comfortable, welcomed, and taken care of throughout their stay.

Best Western PLUS

There’s something really nice about a stay that just feels easy and comfortable right away. Not formal, not complicated, just a place where you’re greeted kindly; things feel simple, and you can settle in without any stress. That’s really what we try to create here every day. Our guests often mention our team when they leave, and it’s because we truly care about people and love what we do. 

Breakfast is one of those little highlights that tends to brighten the morning. We have a made-to-order omelet station where everything is cooked fresh just how you like it, plus waffles and a full hot breakfast to enjoy. It’s a relaxed, feel-good way to start the day. And when you head out, everything is right nearby, Starbucks is just a short walk away, Moose Creek BBQ is right next door (their brisket sandwich with extra pickles is my favorite), and there’s even a teriyaki spot and a salon all in the same plaza, which makes things super convenient. 

After a full day, it feels good to come back and unwind. You can relax in our indoor pool or hot tub. We also have pet-friendly rooms on designated floors because we know pets are family too. Being just a few minutes from the freeway and about 10 minutes from Seattle Premium Outlets makes getting around really easy, and we also offer a complimentary shuttle to Tulalip Casino, Quil Ceda Casino, and the Tulalip Bingo Hall for added convenience. 

Whether you’re here to relax, explore the area, celebrate something special, or simply passing through, we hope you leave not just remembering where you stayed, but how you felt, comfortable, welcomed, and genuinely cared for. 

Candlewood Suites

As the General Manager, what I’m most proud of here isn’t something you can capture in a photo, it’s the consistency of the experience. Anyone can say they offer clean rooms and comfortable beds, but what really matters is delivering the same standard every single day. For me, that always comes back to the team. I stay closely involved in the day-to-day operations, and we put a strong focus on accountability, through inspections, training, and making sure the small details aren’t overlooked. Our guests notice that. We regularly hear about the condition of the rooms, the level of comfort, and how they’re treated by the staff, and that’s something we’ve worked hard to build and maintain.

One of our biggest advantages is how easy we are to get to. Being right off the freeway makes us a convenient option whether you’re traveling for work, relocating, or simply passing through. At the same time, once you’re here, it feels quiet and settled. Our rooms are designed with longer stays in mind, and having a true kitchenette gives guests the flexibility to live in the space, not just sleep in it. That’s something we take seriously, not just having the feature, but making sure it’s consistently set up the way it should be.

What often surprises guests is the area itself. Sumner has a character that people don’t always expect, a strong sense of community, a walkable downtown, and events throughout the year that bring it all to life. From the Daffodil Parade to Rhubarb Days, along with seasonal markets and local gatherings, there’s always something happening. Hops Alley has also become a favorite spot to relax and enjoy some of that local energy.

Just a few minutes away, Puyallup adds even more. The Washington State Fair is a major draw, but beyond that there are farmers markets, parks, and a steady calendar of events that highlight the area’s roots. Between the two communities, guests get a balance of small-town feel and activity that’s hard to find.

At the end of the day, my goal is simple: when someone stays with us, they know exactly what to expect, and it’s done right. A consistent experience, a team that takes pride in their work, and a stay that feels reliable from start to finish.

Best Western Plus Park Place Inn & Suites

Welcome to Best Western Plus Park Place Inn & Suites here in Chehalis, we’re truly glad you’re here. Whether you’re in town for the NW Sports Hub, traveling for work, or just passing through, my team and I want your stay to feel easy, comfortable, and a little more personal than you might expect from a typical hotel. Creating that “at home” feeling is something we care deeply about, and it’s what we strive to deliver every day.

One of the things I’m most proud of is the level of care our team puts into the hotel. From our exceptionally clean rooms to the little details throughout the property, we work hard to make sure everything feels welcoming and well taken care of. And in the morning, don’t miss breakfast, our made-to-order omelets have become a guest favorite and are just one of the ways we try to go above and beyond. When you’re ready to explore the area, I highly recommend checking out Jeremy’s Farm to Table for a great local meal or stopping by Sweet Dough Cookie Co. for something sweet. They’ve even been featured on Food Network and are personal favorites.

Most importantly, please know that we’re here for you. If there’s anything we can do to make your stay better, don’t hesitate to ask. We genuinely enjoy getting to know our guests and making each visit feel a little more customized.

 

Welcome to the neighborhood,

Candlewood Suites

Welcome to Candlewood Suites in Burlington. When people ask me where to stay in the area, I usually tell them we’re a great fit if you’re looking for something more comfortable and flexible than a standard hotel. As one of the only extended stay options in the market, every suite includes a full kitchen and the kind of space that lets you truly settle in, whether you’re here for a few nights or a few weeks.

What I’m most proud of, though, is our team. Many of them have been here for years, and that consistency really shows in the experience we provide. One of the things I hear most often from guests is that they feel genuinely welcomed, that they’re not just passing through, but part of a small community. That level of care creates a stay that makes it feel more personal and relaxed than people expect.

If you’re here to explore, this is a great home base. Deception Pass State Park and Whidbey Island are two of my favorite nearby spots, with incredible views, water access, and trails that make it easy to spend a full day outside. We’re also right in the heart of Skagit County, which means easy access to seasonal highlights like the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival.

After a day out, there are plenty of local places I like to recommend. Train Wreck Bar & Grill is a go-to for classic comfort food, The Speakeasy Saloon has a bit of that old-school character, and Sumo Sushi & Grill is perfect if you’re in the mood for something more relaxed and filling. If you’re looking to recharge, Quantum Health and Yoga Lounge is a great option nearby, with a juice bar built right into the studio.

And if your day ends a little muddy from the trail, no problem, our complimentary laundry machines make it easy to reset and get ready for whatever’s next.

At the end of the day, my goal is simple: to create a stay that feels easy, welcoming, and worth coming back to, a place you can rely on as your home base while you experience everything this area has to offer.

Holiday Inn Express & Suites

Hi, I’m Gerald, the General Manager of the Holiday Inn Express in Marysville. What I’m most proud of here is the energy my team brings every day. We’ve built a culture that’s genuinely welcoming—something guests feel right away, whether it’s a quick check-in, a helpful recommendation, or just a friendly conversation after a long day of travel. That kind of care isn’t forced, it’s just who we are.

Our location makes things easy, but it’s also what you can experience nearby that really stands out. We’re just minutes from Tulalip Resort Casino and the Seattle Premium Outlets, and a short drive opens everything from whale watching and scenic hikes to local spots worth slowing down for. When guests ask me where to eat, I usually point them toward Fanny’s Restaurant for breakfast or Coconut Kenney’s Pizza for lunch/dinner; there’s no shortage of good options close by!

Whether you’re traveling with family, bringing a pet, or just passing through, my goal is simple: to make your stay feel easy, comfortable, and a little more personal than expected.

Holiday Inn Express & Suites

At our hotel, I like to keep things simple, I’m proud of what our team can do; I see that they care and work hard to get things right. From the moment you walk through the door, you’ll find a clean, comfortable space and a team that’s genuinely happy you’re here. We don’t believe in overcomplicating the experience, just friendly faces, a smooth check-in, and people who are present and ready to help. Whether it’s starting your day with our complimentary hot breakfast, grabbing a fresh cup of coffee, or taking advantage of our pool, hot tub, and fitness center, our goal is to make your stay easy, relaxed, and memorable in all the right ways.

Located in Sumner, our hotel offers a quieter, small-town feel while still being close to everything in the Puyallup area. Guests appreciate being able to unwind after a long day while staying just minutes from shopping, dining, and local events. It’s the kind of place where you can settle in, take a breath, and feel comfortable—whether you’re here for work, visiting family, or just passing through.

What truly sets us apart is the people behind the scenes. Our team takes pride in making sure every room is guest-ready and every interaction feels natural and welcoming. There’s no script here, just a group of people who care about doing a good job and making sure you feel at home. For us, it’s not just about providing a place to stay, it’s about creating an experience that feels easy, genuine, and a little more personal than you might expect.

~Newly Renovated~ Holiday Inn Express & Suites

I take a lot of pride in what we’ve built here, and that pride really starts with our people. Being recognized as a 2025 IHG Torchbearer Award winner means a great deal to me, but more than anything, it reflects the consistency and care my team brings to every guest experience.

We’ve recently completed a full renovation, and I love the fresh, updated feel of the hotel. That said, what truly makes us special isn’t the building, it’s the people inside it. My team shows up every day with a genuine commitment to making guests feel welcome, comfortable, and cared for. I hear often that our staff is the best guests have experienced, and I couldn’t agree more. The same goes for our cleanliness standards, we hold ourselves to a high bar, and I believe it shows in every detail.

When guests ask where to eat, I always recommend Jeremy’s Farm to Table. It’s one of my personal favorites and a great reflection of our area, fresh, locally inspired dishes in a setting that feels authentic and inviting.

Our location also puts us right in the middle of a strong sports tourism community. We regularly welcome teams and families traveling for tournaments, and it brings great energy to the hotel. The Northwest Sports Hub is a major draw with year-round events, along with the Borst Park Sports Complex, which hosts baseball, softball, and soccer competitions. We also see guests visiting the Chehalis Sports Complex and Stan Hedwall Park throughout the season.

What I enjoy most is creating a space where guests can relax and recharge, whether they’re here for a game, work, or just passing through. My goal is always the same—to make every stay feel personal, comfortable, and genuinely cared for.
