Okay, old with a coat of paint.

Place is okay. Advertised as having a Hot Tub, looks like it hasn't been functional in a while. Another pet peeve is having 2 Queen beds and only supplying 3 towels. Why make someone go ask for an extra towel. Walls super thin, could hear the guy in the next room on the phone talking and he wasn't being loud. Price was just too high for what was given.

Quick stop in Salmon

It was a last minute decision to get a room. Our group was flying into the Middle Fork of the Salmon early the next morning. Great parking for our vehicles with rafting gear on trailers.

There is inadequate insulation in the walls: voices & plumbing sounds were clearly audible. The surrounding area is rather rundown & unattractive otherwise the location was great for my needs.
