We really enjoyed our walk around Eleanor Lake and Blue River. Safe, beautiful and lots of wildlife and edible plants! The only downside was we found the bed uncomfortable.

Good value and great restaurant

The property is generally well kept and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The Saddle Mountain motel is old but offers a good value and is clean. Worth it. Only complaint is they need to pickup trash left on the lawn and walkway along the motel rooms. There was a used face mask and towelette wipe on the false grass in front of my room. The restaurant is excellent.

Nothing fancy about our room - in older motel across the road from the main complex. We reserved for the price and were satisfied with what we got. Nicer and quieter than the Sandman Inn, down the road, where we have stayed before. What we WERE impressed with was the restaurant. Next time travelling through Blue River, if we are hungry, we are stopping here for sure.

if you need a cheap room, goto the sandman instead

i thought i was booking a room at a nice 4 star hotel with log cabins. i was a bit confused by how cheap it was. the room i actually ended up with felt like it was a reno-ed high end jail cell rather than a motel. the tub could not hold water and the lights in the bath room could only stay on if there was a fan on or if this horribly obnoxious egg timer was going. i got what i paid for but damn this was a disappointment. should have been advertised as a separate 1 star hotel rather than wrapping it up with the 4 star. i wont say i was robbed or mislead but what i got was not even remotely close to my expectations. very dissapointed.

Room not as advertised on hotels.com!!

I was really disappointed the pictures that were shown on hotels.com where of the lodge and the cabins and all the beautiful log work and gorgeous rooms, when I got there, I was told my room was across the highway at another part of the hotel was a very old part of the hotel. It was more of a motel than any type of resort and every time I opened the door to go out to my car for any reason The mosquitoes were so bad and when I got there, my room was full of mosquitoes. I must’ve killed at least 30 of them when I arrived that must’ve got in when the cleaners were doing the room. It’s not that the room was dirty. It’s that the room was old. It was not comfortable. It just was not what I was expecting because the pictures that were shown were absolutely beautiful and the motel across the street was not. Be sure if you book at this hotel/resort that you find out first where they will be placing you and if they say that you’ll be staying at the property across the highway from the resort, depending on what you’re expecting, I would say don’t do it. It is well kept but it has seen better days and the mosquitoes that were in my room were not fun. I spent the night chasing a buzzing sound so that I could get some sleep. I left there with multiple mosquito bites. I don’t usually leave bad reviews because I read the reviews and they were great and I looked at all the pictures and they were awesome but this was like night and day from what I booked. I wish I was told about!!!!!
