Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The rooms are dated, a little brighter paint and some pictures on the wall would make it appear more comfy. However, the room was very clean, with a microwave and fridge, good size TV, tub enclosure was new and the shower itself was really good. Bed was very clean and very comfortable. I only gave a 4 rating because its an older motel.

I had a fantastic experience staying here! The rooms were cleaned thoroughly each day, which made a big difference in how comfortable and relaxing the stay felt, especially after a day full of hiking. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and greeted us with a smile. From check-in to check-out, everything was smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for clean, comfortable accommodations with top-notch service.
