The property does accept pets, although we did not have one this trip. Staff was professional and friendly, we did not need much from them so our interaction was minimal. Room was clean and we had not complaints for concerns. It is nicely located right across from the main hot pools in the town. Everything is with in walking distance which is one of the reasons we love it here.

delightful staff. rooms are simply furnished and rough around the edges but the employees will do their best to fix it. our tv was locked on one channel and we couldn't figure out how to get it back to normal, and the kind lady at the front desk came over to try and help us fix it personally.

The room was adequate and clean and the staff was pleasant. The motel is definitely out dated and in need of new bathtubs and shower walls. Overall it was just ok. Good location.

Room was fine. However the whole reason we booked the deluxe room was for the jetted tub, and it was not in working order, so that warrants a poor review.

Heater was great, tub drained slowly, but reported to property who were eager to repair. Wifi was far away and low signal and not effective for my switch console or phone. Staff was very friendly and the proximity to the hotsprings was unbeatable. Overall great stay for a quick one-night trip!
