Staff was quick on the late night check-in and flexible on the late check-out. I could not locate a tissue dispenser in the room and finding an open electrical outlet was a bit challenging. Property undergoing a name change. A good value overall.

I realize they are under new management and trying to renovate. But basic cleanliness was missing. There were fresh linens in our room, but otherwise it was obvious that it hadn’t been cleaned. Dead bugs and dirt on the floor, the toilet bowl still had things stuck to it from the last guests. No soap, single roll of toilet paper was almost empty, and shower curtain was moldy. Again, I understand renovation messes, but this went beyond that

Did not look like pictures, so many things broken or out of order. I picked it for the breakfast they didn’t even have coffee at 6:30 and the coffee maker in room was dirty and broke. Bedding had stains and the tub wouldn’t drain. It was otherwise clean no bugs At least.

Room was clean, water pressure was good. Bed was fine. The property outside of the room was run down and overgrown. That being said, all I wanted was a clean room and that is what I got. So, I’d stay again.

Room and lobby are tidy and clean. They are remodeling so there are things that are not 100% at this time. The staff is quick to assist and please you. Sometimes something is missing. The board was there but no iron. Just ask. It is pretty nice and will be amazing soon. I hope it doesn't lose it's ski resort vibe. A lot of places are losing their personality.

The staff were nice upon check-in. However, our room was very uncomfortable. It was so hot and stuffy, and the AC obviously did not work. It did not cool and hardly blew air out. The bed was comfortable, but it was hard to sleep with it being so warm. There weren’t all the usual toiletries in the bathroom, for example, no soap and a lack of washcloths.

They are in the process of renovating old, neglected property. Our room was clean. However, the breakfast was skimpy to nonexistent, the TV had no cable service to it, and the pools (inside and outside) were out of service. I would not recommend staying here until the renovations are completed. The staff is very nice though and apologetic of the conditions.

The motel was for sure out of the at a dead end road. The highway was close by, so was noisy from that. I liked the newer laminate floors, however it is very outdated and needs a major up lift. There was rust every where. My queen bed was broke and leaned side ways making it hard to sleep. Breakfast was good. Parking was good. Staff very friendly.
