This is a property from another era. The size and HVAC were not current standards but still great for what I wanted. It is a relatively safe location and I didn't notice the highway noise just outside. My only potential issue was the door locks/security framing were quite antiquated and I felt compelled to take my valuables with me. I stayed three days without any issues however.

First off, the property was clean and in good repair. I got a clean bed and shower for the night. Don't expect anything fancy. While we were there, I'd say it was mostly aimed at CDT hikers and construction workers. Perfectly safe, but no frills.

Property was old and rundown. Best food option was at the gas station and the coffee cart up the road. Room seemed clean (bathroom sketchy/ wear shower shoes!) bed comfortable. We called it the “Bates” motel. ‘nuff said. Only lodging in town and we were glad to have a place to stay.

This hotel surprised me. The exterior is very dated but the family room was spacious, it had a full kitchen and a private outdoor space. I would stay again.

In a small town with few options, Frontier Motel provided my family with a safe, comfortable spot to spend the night. The motel was clean and the beds were comfortable. The bathroom did have a musty smell, but otherwise no problems. While the room could use an update, it had pretty much anything we needed: microwave, TV, refrigerator. No hairdryer, but I'm guessing we could have gotten one from the office. I also very much liked the big tree outside our room, which had a table and chairs under it. Very pleasant. Staff was professional and helpful.

Black mold on window in shower. Also the drain in the shower looked like the gateway to staph infection or gangrene type of tell my boys to keep their feet out of it not sanitary. Bed bugs squished on the wall didn't see any live ones.
