Everything was fine indoors, the exterior could be improved. Outside one cracked window looked like a junkyard with old cars. The price was right as was the location. Basic accommodations

I spent one night here while on a ski trip. Great location, on a main road, just a short walk to downtown, and across the street from the lake. The building is older and a bit dated but the room was very clean. It is an unmanned property. There is no staff, they text you a code to open the door to your room . Modest accommodations at a reasonable price. Would I stay here again? Yes, you really can’t beat the location for the price.

Great location. A little worn in some places, but clean . A typical lakeside or mountain motel . The bed felt new. It was firm memory foam. What I noticed especially what was the room was not moldy and that's a big thing for me. I would stay there again

The room was fine, nothing special but acceptable. EXCEPT - There was no heat, and by morning the temp outside was in the 20s, so we were shivering in our room; and the mattress was old and uncomfortable. Also, our room was right on the busy street - not a problem itself except that there were blinds but no curtains on the windows, so we felt too exposed.

Great place to stay, serve its purpose very well. Bed was super comfortable, having netflix accessible on the TV was a plus. Coffee machine worked well. 5min walk from the Fuzion market where you can grab some breakfast sandwich to-go. Can't believe I am going to say this, but there might be too much pressure in the shower head lol Will def book again.
