The facility is absolutely wonderful and a true service for those who require this. There are 40 sparsely furnished, but adequate apartments each with a full bath, kitchenette, beds, armoire, a flat screen with cable and a recliner with side tables and lamps. Bare necessities that become home to the many individuals needing support or the comfort of proximity while staying in the hospital or with a loved one there. This is like a "Ronald McDonald" house provided by the hospital service. The facility has 24 hour staff on site with security who also provide transportation services to the hospital walking distance away. There is a massive food preparation area with six separate and equally functioning prep stations including everything yould need to make a meal. Various volunteer and charitable organizations donate time, energy, food and supplies to the Tree House and others come in to cook meals for all tenants available to come. Their service is unforgettable. The facility has a full laundry, a library and media area and for the children there is a fun toy and play area. The staff is great. The setup is appropriate and very generous. The many charities that come are wonderful. This is one of the hidden treasures that a thoughtful service provider has created.

The staff was accommodating but I suppose my first indication of this locations issues were the fact the staff was behind a secured glass room. The property was crawling with individuals I suspect were not staying as guest rather roaming the property. The traffic in the few short hours we were there involved what appeared to be drug and prostitution dealings. There was a group of three individuals using drug in the parking lot and they gave a very dirty look as though we were interrupting them. Ultimately It was the most concerning thing I've seen in a very very long time. And it takes a lot for me to feel like my property and persons is in some real risk of danger, harm, or theft. My wife and I felt so unsafe and uncomfortable we decided to cancel our plans and head home. I would advise anyone traveling to find anywhere else to stay but this location. While the the gentleman I dealt with checking was friendly every single other aspect of this hotel was completely unacceptable. Please trust me when I say I don't complain easily if at all and that this review is meant as a warning to anyone traveling specifically if you're older or traveling with kids. This location is something you should avoid at all cost. Thanks for taking time to hear about our experience.

Guesthouse in Fife: A Hidden Gem with Unexpected Comfort…read more I was blown away by my stay at the Guesthouse in Fife. Despite its older building and quirks, it was the perfect last-minute solution for our concert trip. The front desk staff, especially Nat, were incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to accommodate us. While the motel is undergoing renovations, the beds are surprisingly comfortable. I've never slept so soundly in a hotel before! The only downsides were the lack of in-room coffee, dated carpet, and temperamental water temperature. However, these minor inconveniences were far outweighed by the overall safety and comfort we experienced. If you're looking for a budget-friendly option with friendly staff and cozy beds, I highly recommend the Guesthouse in Fife. Just be prepared for a few vintage touches. **Some reason I cannot post more than one picture at this time***

Tried asking if I could pay for the nights in cash and the deposit on card, kept just being told "cash and card" over and over in a rude tone. What she ended up trying to say was that they can only do one or the other but not both. Clearly doesn't need business if they speak to guests right off the bat in the way she did. Then there's the hotel itself. In my opinion, very very gross. I have stayed in beautiful downtown hotels for less $$ than this, for lack of better words, shithole. Holes in doors, stained hallway and room carpet, broken microwave, blood????...I was pretty displeased with myself for not bringing my own pillow and blankets. It smells funk in here. If all other hotels weren't booked for Thunderdome, I'd have told them to keep the money and went elsewhere. I have a feeling this is the type of location that will keep the deposit just 'cause they can. Oh, not to mention the lovely view and threatening notes!

The place was immaculate and it was a beautiful view straight at the lake. Staying in the room where both Pres Teddy Roosevelt and Pres William Howard Taft slept was so awesome. As for comfort, I recommend that suite due to the double couches... Like nice stuffed modern couches. The 15th century paneling in the ballroom and great hall, the reclaimed stained glass pieces that were merged together and placed in every window, some shards going back to the 13th century, the love that went into the restoration of a place where once ancient oak was painted over (!!!) and according to comments that the sunken garden designed by Olmsted Bros was covered in blackberry bushes... It took my breath away. I felt very fortunate as I'd been dreaming of staying there. Hopefully a child of mine will get their wish and marry there. For those who are concerned, the wood paneling etc was purchased from a delapidated estate home that was noted as unsavable. In the grand tradition of Biltmore and Hearst Castle the import of entire chambers was done, but in a way this purchased material saved something precious. The stained glass was reclaimed by a member of the nobility in Britain or Europe whose passion was searching for these pieces. Having seen 3 different rose designs from the houses of Tudor, York and Lancaster, we're possibly looking at Tudor or even Pre-Tudor Britain for the all white and all red roses (look up The War of the Roses). Stunning. I wished I could have seen every single window in the place as it appears even servant's quarters windows on the 3rd floor have these beautiful stained glass designs. As for the brick that the exterior is constructed from, it was new brick made in good old Wales. Overall the brick and reclaimed building pieces were shipped around Cape Horn in 3 ships to Tacoma. Talk about a dangerous voyage. If you love horror the castle was practically saved by the huge payout from a network who made Stephen King's Rose Red. Each room has a copy on dvd. Also: 3rd floor common areas include a media room with comfy chairs open to all, a game room with a pool table etc, a small parlor with a prie-dieu in case you need to pray before a wedding ceremony or sit on its little parlor set. The second floor common area is a small library. For weddings, that and the suite across the hall are changing rooms. Lobby and ballroom on the first floor are common areas unless a wedding is going, in which case the weddings must wrap up by 9 pm. What a place. My only complaint is the final step onto the first floor from the staircase needs a railing. I fell hard and know I can't be the only one. It would be awful to fall as a bride who can barely see her feet while wearing heels. I'd also love to be able to order, online at least, a really wonderful book with old photos of the rooms etc and the facts and history of the house that the website doesn't cover. Bring cash to tip the maid as there is not really a modern checkout setup. The maids deserve a huge tip. FYI: this is no longer a B & B. They supplied our room with a lovely basket of snacks and there were complimentary sodas and water etc in the mini fridge. Yoi can order food if you want to but I didn't know how we'd let someone in the gates. As far as bringing food: do. There's a small microwave and a keurig as well as a small set of glassware, plates, actual utensils and linen napkins. It's a bit of a drive out to somewhere and check in is at 4 pm. Oh! Check out is 11 am which was nice. Again: please put a railing on the last step.

Consider Thornewood Castle Thornewood Castle is located near Joint Base Lewis-McChord, south of Tacoma, Washington. Hidden in the local neighborhood, the facility is strategically placed to take advantage of stunning shoreline views. The building has its historic origins from 400 years ago and moved brick by brick from the United Kingdom to Tacoma 1907. There have been many modern upgrades since its origins, but the staff has kept its ancient charm and made it a welcoming place for a modern 21st-century audience and beyond. Several parts of the facility can be decorated to meet the needs of your event. Chairs in the garden for announcements or wedding vows. The covered loggia, located on the eastern wing of the facility, can house plated or buffet dinners with room for a hosted bar. Mind you, a little elbow grease will be needed to make the facility as stunning as you need it to be. This includes having lawn reception for dinner in the back portion of the facility, facing the sun and beach. Be advised to make sure your caterers and vendors are aware of the facility's restrictions and limitations. Parking can also be a challenge given the size of the facility, but again, check with staff when making your booking. Now there are rooms for rent, and they are stunning. Rates and photos are available on their website. The photos can not adequately express how the rooms have been curated for short-term stays for guests. They are amazing in person to see. The staff is helpful to vendors and guests alike, as long as everyone understands the importance of preserving and enjoying the historic nature of Thornewood Castle. Would totally return if given an opportunity! Take the opportunity to visit!!
