Motel over all was decent. It would have been a better experience for us if there were microwaves and mini fridges in all of the rooms. We ended up having to keep our food we brought on ice the whole weekend. Everything felt very clean and the staff was nice. I would also suggest a different style of doors for the bathrooms in the rooms. The sliding door didnt want to stay open or closed which didn't allow for very much privacy.

Motel was somewhat renovated, but the mystery white stains on the comforter, nails jutting out from the headboard and a bucket to catch the AC condensation was not ideal.

Felt like family

Locals and management were amazing, helpful and friendly. They helped us navigate the area and show us where all the good places were. Very family friendly. They treated our son at home and treated us like family. Highly recommend if going on a float/trip/hike. Close to all the local wonders and exceptional service and hospitality 10/10
