For the price of these rooms we had expected a lot more. The door to our room didnt hang properly and had to be slammed to get it to close. Even in an end room, the walls are paper thin and noise kept us up. Its also disappointing the outpost is so far away from the Trailborn with amenities. There is truly nothing around. Its exciting to see an old motel be rennovated and brought back to life, but I think the prices are much too expensive comoared to other options in the area.

All the doors and cabinets in the room were not great. They seemed very old: Beds were very good. Staff was really nice. Breakfast is only, yoghurt, granola, muffin and fruit. It’s only a few minutes drive from town. The pool was closed when we were there and it’s the size of a big hot tub..
