The location, free parking and somewhat decent breakfast. Some staff nice and some not as welcoming. Bed was not very comfortable and no water station. Check-out time is strict and 10 minutes before checkout time we had an unfriendly knock and reminder that we needed to be out. Overall not an experience I will seek out when next time in town.

A nice lady to check me in was one of the nicest front desk clerks I’ve ever met. The view from my back of the of the river was absolutely amazing. The Hot Springs across the street and the walkable restaurants around me were perfect.

We made reservation for a two-day stay. We only stayed one day. We went to Steamsboat Springs for fishing We left because there were too many mosquitoes at the river. Of course we didn't get refund. The motel is a older motel. However it is very clesn. The beds were very uncomfortable. The hot water from the faucet on the hand sink was very hot. Don't get your hand scolded! Front desk personnel were very pleasant. It was a no thrill motel.
