Clean accommodations

Don’t let the exterior make you decide not to stay, the inside is much nicer. Bed was too soft for my liking. Bathroom was spotless which is most important in my opinion. Room was overall nice and clean. Fridge worked well. A/C worked well enough.

This hotel room was what I would call basic. It was clean and we had a good sleep. Some areas in the bathroom appeared to be missing a new coat of paint. Furniture was basic and old style.

I had a fantastic experience staying here! The rooms were cleaned thoroughly each day, which made a big difference in how comfortable and relaxing the stay felt, especially after a day full of hiking. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and greeted us with a smile. From check-in to check-out, everything was smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for clean, comfortable accommodations with top-notch service.

The rooms are very clean and decent. It is a motel, so it was exactly what you’d expect from one. It’s off the highway, so it’s very quiet.
