Wonderful
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The lobby and design of the motel was adorable. The beds and linens exceptionally comfy. I like to keep the room tidy, but the trash cans were so small, you couldn’t throw anything away in them. The ice machine was difficult to find, the only thing not on their cute custom map. Can you also label the bath wash, shampoo and conditioner in a larger font? Most people who were glasses don’t wear them in the shower.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Very nice lodging with a wonderful out
Door area with fire pits. The pizza was excellent
Beds were really comfortable, lots of cool areas to socialize, casette player and casettes in the room , very friendly staff. We will definitely use this place if we come back to the area
I like coming back to the HCML, mostly because of the amenities. The sauna and cold plunge are super cool. The general store has useful stuff and a nice vibe, so I don't mind getting a (overpriced) latte and chilling there for a bit.
The rooms are clean and nice.
We had a wonderful time at the HCML. It exceeded our expectations. We were gone during most of the morning/days, so only got to enjoy the outdoor and indoor amenities briefly. If I had an extra day on our trip I would have just spent it hanging out at HCML!

Great stay!
Place was good overall, the rooms are bit deceiving on pictures.
Best value for your buck, the place is gorgeous, excellent food and drinks. Also you can see the stars from the patio while by the fire. I enjoyed the jacuzzi and the pool as well, although the pool is not heated.
