Parking was easy and secure. The property is one to two blocks from the main street; thus, it is quiet. The property managers are pleasant, friendly and professional. I had a small problem with the Air conditioning unit. It would come on, then cycle off after ten minutes. Had to restart the AC unit several times to cool the room.

Staff was amazing. So welcoming and friendly. This is your typical motel. No fluff, bed and pillows are fine, nothing earth shattering. Climate controlled by a loud unit under the window. Very close to Heavenly Village and restaurants/shops. Easy walking distance.

This hotel perhaps was the best option for budget and location. 10 min walking to almost anything. Parking with no extra fees. Room was clean. No weird smell at all. No noise. Heater works just fine. I can't think of complaints at all. Can't be more happy with the stay. I will surely come back.

This hotel is great. It's walkable to many restaurants and shops, and only 1 block from the Heavenly Gondola. Our room was clean and comfortable. The only complaint would be the incredibly loud heater. We would definitely stay here again.
