Better than a Motel 6. Ok location though noisy at times. I had problems with room heaters. The first was like a loud dentist drill that I changed rooms and “settled” on the 2nd room by cranking up the temperature so I didn’t have to have it run while I was sleeping.

This is very very basic side-of-the-road motel, not quite as nice as the reviews made it sound. Pro: They accommodated a very late check-in for us when we arrived town. The bed was very comfortable. Towels were nice. Parking was easy and free. Con: The room was clean-ish but some dirty areas (lamps were dusty, sink was slow to drain, etc). The room was very tiny and very basic. We were not given enough towels or pillows so had to request more, which they did bring but seemed surprised we'd ask. It was a good location for our hiking trip but we would not stay again, we'd pay a bit more for something else nearby.

Didn’t need parking or laundry. Staff was perfunctory; no lights on in the office at 5:30 PM. Walkways were dark, making it hard to see room numbers. Website says breakfast included, but there was only coffee and a dark room.

This motel is in a great location, but otherwise you get what you pay for - not the cleanest, pillows pretty uncomfortable, and very noisy if on the 1st level. Also be careful pulling in and out- there’s a lot of traffic on the main road and difficult to take a left out of there.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I had a reservation for two nights, I left a day early. When I showed up to check in the door to the office was open but all the lights were off and there was no one there. I waited for a half hour in my car and tried again. Still nothing. Eventually a girl came out of a door near the office and asked if I was checking in and got who I assumed was her father. He checked me in with the indifference of a 7-11 clerk. He didn’t tell me where my room was, where to park, or any other info. The room was very basic and not very clean. There were random long black hairs in the bathroom and on the towels. The blinds were broken. The fan on the air conditioner was very loud. There was no remote for the TV. There was no privacy sign to hang on the door. I had plans to go hike that day and come back but instead I just went home. Not worth bothering with another night.

The bathroom was filthy: there were long hairs and dirt in the tub. The top comforter had a cigarette burn as well as a very large hole exposing the stuffing. The coffee pot was missing. The room smell was very unpleasant. We were there for a single night due to a work event, so we thankfully did not spend much time in the room. Though we are frequent travelers through the area, we would never ever stay there again.

Interactions with reception office lacking common coutesy. No doorbell, not sure if they would respond after several minutes of seeing us in reception ?
