Ok, not great.

The main thing about the place is that it was very stuffy. While the AC was on the room was ok but as soon as it kicked off the air got really thick and the windows didn't open. The breakfast offerings were not horrible but not great. Mostly sugary things, no proteins. There were elk in the grass beside the hotel which was kinda cool. There was a rather gross skidmark on the toilet when we checked in. That was an unpleasant find. I wouldn't tell anyone not to stay here but I wouldn't really recommend it either.

This property was clean and the check-in staff was pleasant. The amenities need to be upgraded. The refrigerator did not work, it was cool with the dial turned to maximum. The toilet is the size of a children’s toilet.

Didn't really care for the location. Room was dusty with a torn place in the carpet. The motel had a humidifier running in the room (feel it should have been removed before our arrival).

We needed one night after seeing "Unto These Hills" (HIGHLY recommended) and this hotel was perfect. All the staff were friendly and professional - excellent check-in and check-out. Free breakfast - self-serve hot waffles - but nutritious/healthy options were lacking. All-in-all, this was exactly what we needed and we would return.

Check in was slow. Only 1 person at the small Check in desk. Nothing about breakfast was mentioned. The disposable coffee filter in room looks like it was just rinsed and put back to reuse. Check out was also slow because only 1 person at the desk. Wasn’t able to get a receipt because I booked through Expedia. Only 2 handicap parking spots and both were always filled.
