The curtains would not open the toilet would not work and you had to keep it running all night long the air conditioning always blew out cold air even when you turned it up, we stay at this place for the last 15 years. I have to say that this was the worst experience that I have had a new manager she was very un personable.

Very old, we expected that. Friendly front office lady. Animal friendly. Clean but was in need of many repairs. Heater worked well, but unable to open the window for fresh air. For the price, we made it work for a quick stop over and hot shower.

It is a hidden gem of motel. Our hikes was at Stanley and stay at Stanley was 350 per night . This place was only 100. Dining options was great around . Room was clean and beds comfortable. Lisa at front desk was sweetest and friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this place.

It appears that they took over an hotel from the 70's that needed a lot of work. The bed was comfortable with clean sheets.
