Liked: Cleanliness
Checking in and out was super easy. The welcoming staff member was very friendly and informative. The water was hot and the pressure was great. The bedsheets were clean. The carpet was not. The pillows were small and too few. It was unfortunate that the ice machine was broken. It was a quiet, safe area. We enjoyed our stay overall. Loved the national monument. We will come back and stay here for sure.

Only motel in the area. Pretty dated. Clean, and new manager very friendly. She sort of inherited a mess. Town was very friendly, and the park across the street was very nice. Coffee shop up the street a couple blocks.

Location and condition as expected on cross country trip with friends. Old school Motel style. Cleanliness left a lot to be desired. First room’s bed had obviously been slept in but bed had been “made.” Fridge had lots of food left in it. Second room had fresh linen but I still slept fully clothed just in case. Saving grace..towels smelled like bleach.
