Staff friendly and accommodating to our late night arrival. Quick easy check in. Beds clean and comfortable. Only issue is stale smoke smell in the room.
It’s a good little motel for not that much money. I was happy with the front desk service and the bed and pillows were pretty good. Safe neighborhood close to stores.
It was clean. Staff was helpful. Good price for the area.

Cool vintage motor lodge. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Beds were comfortable enough for one night, but probably wouldn’t stay longer. Room was clean except for the floor… good Wi-Fi and very thankful that they had a generator since the power went out all night!
Motel is typical of homes in the area. Old,rickety but quaint. Owner is very friendly. Room has all amenities such as microwave, Krueger coffee maker and frig as well as TV. Bathroom has very dirty rug and cabinet drawers dirty. But rest of room is clean and was sufficient for my 1 nite stay. Price was good. Overall i would stay again.
We stayed one night. We didn’t this would be a 5 star hotel based on the price we paid but the experience was terrible. The hotel is very run down and dirty. The bathroom had mold in the shower, dirty air vent in the ceiling and no hot water. The area also was sketchy with cars zooming. Pool and hot tube were also dirty. We will never stay here again.

An old clean motel 6
Looks very run down but it was clean. Chose because wanted a jacuzzi after long day skiing. Lied- no jaquizzi in winter(although we are in mid-march). Wi-Fi having issues. We are in room a close to office. He said, it doesn’t really work that far away. Worked for a night but wouldn’t come back
We arrived at the property, and it was okay until we entered the room and saw that the white bed was yellow and the sheets were torn. We were then told that they were the “construction worker” sheets and were on there by mistake. The lady was nice but came back with what looked like sheets from another bed. We left after being there for at most five minutes. Do not go to this spot if you’re looking for a place to rest in a clean bed. Reached out by email to request a refund and no response. Do not go here!
Updated room: large updated bathroom.snd shower. Comfortable bed. Quiet. Economical price. Near points of interest. Staff brought hairdryer as there was not one in the room. It worked well. Good towels. Microwave and refrigerator was a plus. The desk was also a plus. Comfortable bed. Warm heater that kept the room comfortable. Friendly personnel.
Cons and/or needed areas of improvement: Nowhere to place clothes. No hooks, closet space, or drawers. No half or full mirrors. Nowhere to place makeup or shaving utensils in the bathroom as there was only a larger sink and no hooks/counter space. Shower pressure was very low and water would not get hot. It got slightly warm after running it for 10+ minutes.
You get what you paid… maybe a little less. The room is ok and there is microwave, coffee machine and mini fridge,. The heater was working fine and the receptionist is helpful and very polite.
However we got a non smoker room that was smelling like a cigarette. The towels also had a very strong smell of cigarette and bathroom floor was dirty. Didn’t expect this kind of basic issues in a motel and the experience was upsetting
The lady at the front desk was accommodating.
Maybe we just didnt know what to expect from a motel.
If you like hair free, stainfree sheets and towels, bring your own.
Smells like cigarette smoked covered of with strong perfume smells.
Window on our ground floor bathroom didnt close.
The lady was accommodating enough to give us another room and brought "new/clean" sheets and blanket.
The heat worked great.
Didnt use the shower.
The wheelchair room doesnt have a closet or space to hang/put things besides a desk.
Maybe motels are just not for us.
Thanks anyway

The staff was good. The room was clean, but the shower overflowed and the sink was coming away from the wall so hopefully they address these issues. Other than that I did enjoy my day.

If you want a clean place to crash at night, then this place is great. Middle of the road Motel.
lights went out when plugged in a charger, but came on again. Loose, and a bit risky powerpoints, more than one, Not one near the table to sit on / work from that was actually holding a plug, either the laptop or the phone charger!
All in all, an older facility, well done up, but next it NEEDS an electrician quickly, before something happens they may regret....
Noisy bathroom tap and fan. Chair and table made cracking sounds as if they were about to give in and have me sit on the floor....
Not at all what is portrayed in all pictures, rooms are not that nice, outside is falling apart. Shows nice pictures of a clean pool and hot tub area, but it’s actually filthy dirty, not maintained or usable.
