Really, I can tell you're shaking your head and thinking "OK?!?" the rooms were very clean and comfortable, and the staff were lovely. The downside is there's not a lot of restaurant choices in-town after 6 p.m., which is not the fault of the hotel. My son n I had a lovely little escape for a reasonable price and we drove up and got a Blockbuster card. Unless you're super-picky you can't go wrong staying here.
Great little Motel . Old but clean and the staff was quite attentive and hospitable. Small town tucked away in the mountains so the nightly rate is a great value . If you want to relax for a couple days and get off the road this is the place ! Will definitely stay again when thru here in May 2025 !
The staff is always kind and courteous every time I come here, the air conditioning is amazing rooms are always very clean. There’s no getting around the fact that it is the older hotel with older furniture but the beds are comfortable the towels are a good quality and it has been remodeled inside and out for the price definitely can’t beat this hotel. No bugs no nastiness no unsavory people hanging out outside will definitely be back.
I paid $34 including fees for a single king room via Booking.com. This motel met or exceeded my expectations for a room with such a bargain price. The bed was comfortable, the sheets were clean, the heater worked, the shower was hot, there were no bugs. The roof didn’t leak. I really only docked a star because the lighting was harsh and the bathroom was just barely less clean than I wish it was. But overall, this place is a heck of a good deal.
