Our room was clean and comfortable. The desk clerk was very kind and capable. This motel is an updated but old motel. The carpet, furniture and paint looked new. The bathroom sink was tired. The bathroom was as tiny as I have ever seen with a shower, toilet and sink in the smallest possible space. That said, it beats camping and in this part of the world with so much beauty to see outside, we were happy for a comfy bed between outdoor adventures.

Checkout is 11:00, so, I was aggravated when housekeeping knocked on the door telling me rudely that checkout is 10:00. I checked my reservation, and checkout is definitely 11:00. The housekeepers were sitting outside my door, so I felt very rushed to hurry and pack up. Other than that it’s a decent place to stay, and the town is gorgeous.
