Good value, very clean, centrally located motel complex. Have stayed there on two recent ski trips. Only concern was temperature of water in showers. First stay, rather lukewarm; second stay, water temperature was more than adequate.

Nice place with room for improvement

This is a clean and well run motel, and the location is great — very convenient to Heavenly. Free parking is a plus. I would be happy to stay there again, but the rooms and bathrooms could use some updating.

“Health and Safety” waiver overkill

Overall, a convenient location and friendly staff in an old hotel. I found it hilarious/ridiculous that they had a “health and safety” waiver to sign at check-in. Stating that you don’t have a cough or fever. So odd, what would they do if you did have a “cough.” Throw you in jail? Fine you? Initiate contact tracing on your bedding? It’s winter 2025, probably time to retire that silliness. Otherwise, no issues.

No Water

We awoke to there being no water in our room. After waiting 30 minutes we had to leave and could not shower or get ready. Apparently the hotel was doing a scheduled plumbing improvement. This room should not have been rented, or at least we should have been informed so we could have chosen to stay somewhere else.

Below average

This property is mis-rated hotels.com. The stars should be less for quality of property. The walls are very thin, the beds are very uncomfortable. Bring your own pillow if you don’t want to sleep on a very flat pillow. The refrigerator was so loud and the bathroom was all patched up. It is a very old property, very basic motel. Pool and hot tub are currently closed. The only thing going for this place is the location, walking distance to everything.
