This place is very outdated. Our room was clean , which is most important but the mattresses were very old and soft , pillows old and flat. If you need a quick place to stay it will Do since accommodations in the small town are slim.

The property is in need of an update but the most important thing was that it is clean. The lady on reception was welcoming and friendly - she seemed to do pretty much everything around the property. A very good stay, thank you.

The staff at the site was really nice. The pictures of the room are excellent. The place is kinda old, dirty rugs, dirty furniture the sink was badly stained and looked dirty. The king bed was kinda hard and springs kinda poke through. The heating system worked well. The shower worked good. It was plenty warm and had good pressure. The door to the room only had a simple door knob with a key. No way to lock it from the inside. It was very quiet though. I hate to pick a place apart like this it was only $81.70 for the room. It was the only motel available with only being reserved a day in advance. For a Sat night stay. I have learned over the past couple of years, if I don’t pay near $200 a night, out west, you don’t get much quality.

It is a hidden gem of motel. Our hikes was at Stanley and stay at Stanley was 350 per night . This place was only 100. Dining options was great around . Room was clean and beds comfortable. Lisa at front desk was sweetest and friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this place.

Very old, we expected that. Friendly front office lady. Animal friendly. Clean but was in need of many repairs. Heater worked well, but unable to open the window for fresh air. For the price, we made it work for a quick stop over and hot shower.

Great place to stay

I really like non-major chain hotels. They tend to be cleaner and more inviting. The place is old but kept up and clean corner to corner. I will highly recommend this hotel and will stay here again!
