Nicely renovated old style motel with down to earth owner and friendly dog & cat on premises. Clean room with comfortable bed and good amenities, and extra towels provided for use at the hot springs. Room could be improved with blackout curtains and/or shades for better privacy and darkness in morning for people who want to sleep late.
