The Comfort Inn in Kelso seems convenient, and it is right next door to I-5. However, the hotel is an older building that lacks an elevator. If hauling baggage upstairs is burdensome, look elsewhere. During my stay, a water pipe in an adjoining Utility Room lost a bolt, resulting in a torrent of water coming through the wall into my room. I called the Main Desk, and they didn't know what to do. They had to search to even find a key into the Utility Room. I had to scramble to gather all my belongings and pack them into my car. Some items were destroyed, like a hardcover book and my calendar-planner. There was 2 inches of water in my room. Water from the busted pipe went down the main corridor and into nearby rooms. Kelso Firemen arrived and squeegeed the water out a back doorway. I got no help from the hotel, and I had to search for other lodging for the night. It was a nightmare!
