A nice safe and quiet place to stay. Park right in front of your door. My dog loved the large grass area. The room was large and the beds very comfortable. The heat was on when we arrived which was great . It was cold and snowy that day. I loved having the self check-in and check out. We plan on going back the next time we are in the area.

Second time staying. We like that dogs stay free, and that they can run outback. Nearby hiking. Easy parking. Check-in is easy. But, it’s ultimately a dingy roadside motel with a funky coat of paint, and a vintage photo on the wall. Shower had hair on floor, wall, and curtain. Soap dispensers (what is this a public bathroom?) were covered in grime. The rolling shades fell from the window when I tried using them. I don’t think we’d come back. Place needs a refresh.

Ok for a work overnight. Not any place I'd take my wife on a vacation stop. The room is sparsely furnished with a tiny tv that's about 15 or more feet away from the bed. The heater/AC unit has a fan problem and rattled whenever it was on. The bathroom is huge but has no counter top. Very inconvenient. There's a stand alone sink then about 6 feet to the toilet. The sliding glass door for the shower was missing one of the panels that was replaced with a expansion rod and a curtain inside of the remaining glass door. Contactless check in and check out.
